A few months ago i got into a little spot of bother at work by sending myself information on my co workers productivity. My manager was trying to say that i was unproductive which was totally untrue. It was a targeted vindictive attact by her because i made a legitimate complaint to HR which she got in some trouble with. When I had my final meeting with her and HR she showed me on a screen the emails she had found that contained info i should not of sent to myself ( i didnt know at the time it was against policy). Until this point she had not enough info to terminate me as my reasoning was that i was proctecting myself from an unfair attact by herself. In this final meeting she shows me on a screen an email i never recall sending myself and it contained data i would of had no use for. I believe she has edited the email to make it look like i sent it from my work address to my home address. All the other data and emails i remember sending and i had good reason for sending all of them (not that there were many). Based on this new email HR Terminated my employment. So this doesnt happen again how would you go about getting them to prove they havent cooked up the evidence against you. Do I have a right to ask that IT or an independant IT person prove it was sent not just edited the to and from info? This manager has also told HR we have had meetings we never had so faulsifying data is not outside of her skill set.

Sorry about you losing your job. There are some people that just shouldn't have power over others. I'm not sure if you have the right to ask someone to look in to it. It would probably take a lawyer to answer that question.

1. Check to see if there are retaliation policies within your former company, assuming they have a competent HR department.

2. Tracking the email should be easy to do, providing she didn't send it from your normal pc. Falsifying emails are easy, hiding their tracks, not so much.

3. How did she document these meetings, you supposedly had?

4. Is this person a former IT person or are they a normal manager, aka need someone else to fix their IT matters?

Had a lawyer. Forced employer into situation where they made small settlement with me. Now thinking i should of looked into how much a barrister would of been the could of had info supeinered. What does one do next time thou. If i exercise my legal rights i get screwed by my employer. If i dont still getting screwed just feel like a door mat. No win either way.

Have no contact with company as i signed a settlement doc and was settled a small amount. Wish i had challenged it at the time of seeing it. She is not very IT competent but seems to have good connections with IT dep. no idea why she was handling incident as my complaint was against her.

Documented on paper that i recall. I just want her to falsify something else and haveHR know so they see her for what she really is.
