Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
I was terminated from my employment for taking my own property. My lunch bag was stolen from me a few weeks ago. When I went into the cafeteria at my work, I saw it on the table, so I took it. It was mine, but I called the cafeteria and told them I had to contents of a lunch bag for them to come and get it. The security cameras saw me take my bag. I was terminated for stealing. What can I do?

Absent a contract of discriminatory reasons not raised in your post, employment in GA is generally at will, and one can be terminated for any or no reason.
