[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have pursued this legally if no one actually really thought he was to blame for anything. The talk of hiring a lawyer usually changes people's minds.[/quote]

Based on what? What did the company do that is illegal?[/quote]
Firing him without cause. .based only on some rumor. I woukd be furious and would fight to the end.[/quote]

From the OP's post, it appears as if her husband is employed by a private employer, not the Federal Government.  With the Federal Government, it is next to impossible to fire an employee, even if there is substantial cause.  In the private sector, this is simply not the case.  There have been a number of [b][i]good and helpful[/i][/b] responses to the OP from a HR person and an employment attorney.  Both people stated there is simply nothing to fight.  You are not entitled to a job in the DC/MD/VA area.  You are employed at will, and an employer can terminate you at any time, so long as it is not discriminatory (which is often difficult to prove).  Even if there was no evidence, the appearance of scandal can taint an organization and people have been let go for it.  [/quote]
