Several years ago I was "let go" by a guy who didn't like the fact I knew he was doing illegal things...City manager in a small city.....when budget came around he cut my position due to budget reasons, yeah right,...then, although knowing my home address, he sent monies that the city owed me to the State of Texas....I had no idea where this came from either.
So I filed when checking the fund info.....I had $1500 in Austin...glad I looked, and shame on the city for not sending it to me in the first place. Then I got a notice from the city that they had inadvertently included my social security number on a vendor request for proposal link on the city website! I thought about calling the IRS on what I know.....but I need references in my job search.
