Today, a coworker told my manager that I and another girl were plotting to get her fired at the end of the month. She actually believed her. Now we're suspended without pay for two weeks for conspiracy. FML

Today, I found out that a new coworker was spreading false rumours about me. I confronted her. and she basically ran to management and said I intimidated her even though other colleagues discredited her claims. She now continues spreading the rumours with her fake intimidation charges on top of it all. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML

Today, my boss claimed that I've been lying to get days off because apparently nobody can be so unlucky as to have three family members die within a month. I'm just that unlucky, and suspended. FML

I'm not 100% sure if that actually legal to do, if it's only a thought/belief! If I were OP I would talk to an HR or someone higher up and see what you can do about that..

Well, if you and the other girl didn't have a reason to get her fired before, you have one now.

File a personal grievance - unless she has proof that you were trying to get her fired, there is no way that you should be suspended without pay. Defamation is a bitch ... just like she is and that is a reason to REALLY get her fired.

#17 I think you are on the right track. Since OP is from the U.S. she and her co-worker could take her to small claims court. No lawyer need also they both could show that they lost income from the lie.

It's not illegal to suspend an employee, ESPECIALLY in the United States. And it's all right not to pay OP anyway since she can't actually work. OP will have to either wait it out, complain to her boss's superiors, or just get another job.
