no not unless asked by the court.\nIf asked by the court and you lie, then you may be charged with perjury also.\nThats a big one!

That was not the place for something like that. If I were shopping in your store I would have reported you. I work for a supermarket as well. You crossed the line. \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++

yes but "business no longer in opperation" no current contact info known. then place all info about the place when you were working there you know. and if they ask reason for leaving say the truth.

NO! Not in the U.S.\n\nIf there is a company policy stating what forms of ID that you are supposed to check and you did not, then he can fire you!

I am not sure of the lie.. but if you have proof you didn't say it let people know.  And depending on the lie.. you have a right to say whatever you want.  Constitution says so.

Please use ADD DETAILS feature to provide specifics. What is she lying about? What is your side of the story? It's very difficult to provide an opinion about the situation without knowing anything about it.

Unless the person is a Government (public) employee, you'd need to subpeona that information with a court order.  You couldn't just get that information because you were curious.

There are no ethics involved when you do lie about something. You have also stolen the information. You have destroyed a trust. You have given a competitor an advantage he would not have had and hurt the first company's future business. You have hurt your fellow employees. You may well have ruined your own reputation as well.

Of course they can!\n\nNow..legally the former employer  should only be able to say your dates of employment and if you are eligible for rehire. \n\nThat doesn't mean that Joe from burger barn doesn't know Susan over at the hot dog king and they don't go for drinks and a little gossip passes over a cocktail. \n\nPeople talk..legally the company should keep things private..that doesn't control gossip.

Not unless the company who issued the policy makes this knowledge public. If you have this kind of worry..perhaps a private investigator would be good idea..and have him check up on the person or person you suspect of having the policy

You have a right to some information pertaining to your employment e.g. employee reviews, warnings, drug testing, salary adjustments, personal information etc. You do not necessarily have the same rights with regard to compalints made about you by another employee and so forth since the company is also duty bound to protect the identity of the other employee.

If your employer has an ounce of compassion and decency you shouldn't!\n\nSorry for your lose!

I work in a sub shop at a major supermarket in Florida, one day I got this customer that came right up to me and started telling me what he wanted, while I was cleaning off the mess of the previous customer.I had politely asked him to wait until I was ready to give him my attention. He kept on telling me what he wanted.I raised my voice and asked him Sir I need to clean off this mess, could you possibly wait for a moment until I have this area cleaned. He got obnoxious and accused me of not wanting to make his "effing" sub so stormed off and told my manager that I was ignoring him. I told the manager that I was cleaning the counter top and it was only 2 seconds before I was done and I got written up for not "paying more attention to the customer" \nI wanted to choke the life out of that customer.\nwhenever he comes back I always tell someone else to deal with him because I will go off on him if I am forced to make his sandwich.

my granny used to say, "Some people will PAY to lie when they could tell the TRUTH for free"\n\nPeople will lie about anything, and especially they will lie if it will cause them not to have to explain anything or if what they are lying about will possibly make someone mad or hurt.\n\nThey will justify their behavior by saying "I had to lie because I care about their feelings and didn't want to hurt them"

Personal experience...NO WAY... First of all they never admit to any lie whether it be little or big, even when you have solid proof they will just tell another lie to cover up for the previous 1. As far as help goes ...they have to want to be helped and admit to telling lies. They are sick, toxic people and you need to stay away from them. One day all thier lies will catch up with them and people will see them for what they really are. But some liars get away with it for years because they are so good at it,  and hurt many people along the way.

it is only slander if it is an untrue statement.  if they are lying about you, go for the throat.  if they're telling the truth, you really don't have much to go on.  a lawyer might be able to convince someone that the truth is a lie, but you will be placing your soul in jeopardy.\n\nsome companies have adopted a policy of witholding that information, because people that deserve to be fired show incredible resourcefulness that could have kept them employed if they used it while on the job.  this resourcefulness has led to companies insulating themselves from the threat of lawsuits by refusing to divulge personal information.\n\nso why WERE you fired, anyway?
