Yes, admittedly they deserve it. However, I don't think I have grounds for a wrongful discharge case. The Policy and Procedures manual states that they can and will fire me for what I did (regardless of how wrong such a move might be), it just falls out that the Department of Labor and Industry decided that according to *their* standards I should have been given a warning first. Does that make sense?

Besides, lawsuits require time, effort, and money, which could all be better spent finding a new and better job. I specifically informed them in a letter that they were *only* allowed to verify my dates of employment, not give recommendations. If a potential employer asks why I left, I'll simply say the agency and I wanted a mutual separation. (Which is true.) If they ask if I was fired, I'll say yes and explain why. I think I have a pretty good justification as to my actions.
