Yes, exactly. If someone ever did that to me, I would never speak to them again!

The same goes to me.

Good news for once today: the coward who attempted to backstab my wife with her slander accepted my wife's required apology and forgave her in front of a witness, so now my wife isn't being fired but only suspended for the next three days in order to appease the coward who said they forgive my wife for their false accusation of pushing their brat.

I would never apologize for something I didn't do. Were there witnesses there at the time this was suppose to have happened? I'd be speaking to a lawyer and considering a defamation of character lawsuit.

'Keet, you and your wife should have given those morons this cake:

Kidding aside, I don't think you should apologize for something you didn't do, actually.

I've been the target of a lot of this thing recently - the worst part about it is that there's no effective way to deal with it: if you do something wrong, you can apologize and try to make amends. If you're falsely accused of doing something wrong, all you can do is try to "clear your name" and sometimes this simply isn't possible.

I think Dante actually had a special place in hell for these types of people...

Does it provide some sort of sadistic pleasure to people to slander and falsely accuse others? Do they like causing people to have troubles for actions they did not do and words they did not say?

I think you are on to something there... Been through the same far too many times.

I have an admittedly odd sense of pragmatism and karmic balance when it comes to these things. Personally, a defamation suit seems prolonged, expensive and unlikely to succeed, were the need for money and employment is immediate. Me, I'd say what they want, then bide my time and steal or sabotage something... :lol:

I've got some interesting stories in that vein, some of the are even past the statute of limitations.

They derive pleasure from it. it's also an easy way of getting rid of 'undesirables'

I understand why someone would feel they needed to apologize in order to keep their job. But that's FU and wrong that they would be made to feel that they have to do such a thing especially if they didn't do what they were accused of doing. I believe by apologizing for something they never did, would only be setting themselves up for more false accusations in the future.

I realize that honor and reputation mean more to me than they do to some people. And to me, filing a lawsuit would be worth it. No doubt, there would be some who would agree with you and want to do things your way but I'm not one of them.

The thing is, this is only like the 4th or 5th time that this has happened to my wife, and each time they want to hear her ask for forgiveness for crap she didn't do. It's some sort of game to these managers I think, a blasted power and control trip. I wouldn't be able to put up with it myself. The customers and coworkers a pretty bad when they lie and cause this sort of stuff to happen, but I think it's a blasted game to them in which they have a power trip holding a person's work dangling over them like a cat toy. I can really understand why God would have some people burning throughout eternity and yet not dying because of people like this.

I don't think people realise just how much trauma and distress they will create by pulling this.

Some perhaps don't, but at the very least there are a few which do and such is their goal.

I hate people who do this. I had child protection here today because i was falsely accused of being an alcoholic. It has really hurt my feelings. At least when child protection got here they saw the way it is with my life and see no danger at all. I dont know why someone would have done this. :'(
