Hi Nairalanders, pls i need your candid advice on this this issue cos now, am thinking of filing a defamation case against my employer. I was served a 2 weeks suspension note yesterday and when i tried to ask what i did wrong, the director of the company i work for wrongly accused me of theft which i have no idea of. I was so pissed that i had to resigned from my post.
This morning, i got a call from my manager that the issue had been cleared, that no money was missing. I don't know whether to sue this company for defamation in which they will have to pay some amount of money in damages or i should just forget this matter and let a dog rest. But am seriously pained about this wrong accusation.

Just forgive him.
You wouldn't gain anything from sueing him.
Just let him understand that what he did to you is unfair n that he owes u an apology.

OP, have you found another job yet? Did you ask for your job again or we're you offered your job back?

Let the management/HR sign apology letter if possible

The CEO should apologize in writing and I believe he is sorry that is why the manager called you.

forgive and Forget, give your best you would soon be rewarded.

Bro, you wouldn't have resigned. You would have been in active service with them in accomplishing your 'desire'. However, now, instruct your lawyer to write them demanding an apology letter within a time frame. This is necessary for posterity sake, whether you want to take the matter up legally or not.
