I was looking back on text messages with a supposed friend and found this. This is the gal that told HR about a text message I said I sent to someone. They took her word for it even though I had been there two years longer than her. They didn’t even investigate it - just fired me over hearsay. So bizarre how people can have so many sides to them.
