Re: wrongful termination
If you tell me that people of one race with a criminal background were dismissed while those of a different race who had a criminal background were not dismissed, then I might see some discrimination. If you were the only one with a criminal conviction and were the only one dismissed, I am less inclined to see the dismissal was based on your race or national origin. If you know who did steal the inventory, then I would also want to know why you did not report that person.
