I work for a multi million dollar financial company. i have been there fro 1 year. For the past 2 months,they have been talking about doing a fundraiser for my son who has medical issues. They were talking about going company wide and I have e-mail corrispondance regarding this fundraiser. During this time, the fundraiser was postponed for a month, they said to make sure that they did it right, I borrower $3000 from one of the companies that we do business with to pay off one of my son's doctors bills from the specialist to ensure that he could continue getting treatment there. I was going to pay them back as soon as the fundraiser kicked off. The fundraiser was cancelled sighting legal issues with soliciting over e-mail. The next day, one of the other employees in the company e-mailed the district managers and told them that there was money that was borrowed and not paid back and I was terminated for conflict of interest. Do I have any recourse at all?

If your lawyer's good enough, you can sue anyone -- for anything.
However, there are elements that must be proven in order to win a civil case (in order to sue someone). These elements vary by law. These elements also vary by the type of civil tort (just a silly word for legal action) you file.
Before you go to a lawyer, you might want to do some research. I'm currently attending school for law and I'd be glad to help walk you through some of the terminology and find good websites for you to look through.
A lot of people go into law suits blindly. They think ANY wrong can be any type of suits. This is untrue. You have to look at what you can prove with or beyond 51% certainty.
You may not be able to get your employer for something obvious like . . . wrongful termination . . . but maybe find something in contract law.
I love this sort of thing. It helps me exercise my legal knowledge and learn more about legal application. I can do some research for you. IF you or your wife can email me your state, I can find a website that will outline the elements needed to be proven with each type of tort.
When you meet with a lawyer, you can then speak his/her language. It'll improve your chances of winning.

Not much recourse, It depends on the laws in your state but most states are "right to work" which means that they can fore you for any reason. Borrowing from one of the companies "customers" can be seen as a conflict of interest in this instance , if I read into what you wrote a little. You could try to talk to someone in the company and explain the situation, but it is unlikely, once terminated, that they would bring you back on because they would have to admit fault in terminating you to begin with ...

conflict of interest is a felony term. It has no longer something to do with Christianity and is not any longer suggested on a similar time as quickly as interior the Bible. what's suggested are the ten commandments. Writing erotica could be a sin against purity.

You said "they said to make sure that they did it right".
Who was "they"?
Give "they" a call and forward the emails to them, and give them a chance to fix it.
Tomorrow go and see an attorney, but there may be more here than meets the eye.
