In May, I received a call from my HR dept and they approached me about some items that they received an "annoynmous" tip on in regards to me having a criminal history and not disclosing that on my application. Now although I did NOT mention it on my application, I will admit, I was in hard times and needed a job and let's face it, when you DO mention it, you don't get the good jobs. Anyhow, the company pulled up public records on my felony, which was theft and aggravated theft, and fired me on the spot, they stated I was being fired for lying on my application, not what the history stated. Recently, it has come to light that the person that gave them this annoynmous tip, also has several more violent crimes on his criminal history! He has rape, kidnapping and assault and I'm told by a close friend of his family, he did not put this info on his application.
I want to turn him in and see if he gets fired -- I mean it's not fair that he turns ME in and I lose my job, while he sits up there on his high horse, laughing about it. I would think at this point, if he is NOT fired, wouldn't I have some sort of discrimination suit against the company for letting me go and allowing someone with a violent crime and not disclosing that to stay? Any and all advice would be appreciated.
