Dear PAO,
I worked as a landscaper for a real estate developer. The marketing department directed me to canvass the prices of plants or ornamentals for a project site. They reasoned that transporting the plants from our head office to the project site was too costly; thus, for this particular project, it was more economical to purchase the plants directly from suppliers in the site location. The marketing department approved the canvassed price from one supplier, requested me to purchase the same, and turned over the receipts to them. Three weeks later, they allegedly made another purchase and discovered a disparity in the prices of the plants that I purchased. They intend to dismiss me because of a loss of trust and confidence as I allegedly manipulated the price. Can they do that?
