Gray Was Fired from AT&T for Falsifying Her Own Records

question 439

True/False

Gray was fired from AT&T for falsifying her own records. When she filed for unemployment compensation, AT&T told the company handling her claim why it had fired her. She sued AT&T for defamation. The court would likely find this to be defamation per se because such fraud is potentially a criminal offense.
