I understand being pissed off. You're best off if you put it behind you, and put your energy into finding a new job. Of course getting even is fun too. Reminds me of the time I was laid off on Monday after we had a special Saturday meeting where they told us how great the company was doing. Monday it was, "We can't afford to pay you." I was so pissed. I asked for my last check, and they told me they didn't have enough money. I was even more pissed.

I needed to find a job quick because I was getting married in a few months, and expenses were mounting up. So I stole a customer they had been trying to win from them, and took the work myself. I did the work for 1/2 of what my old company was going to charge, and was still making the most I've ever made. Then I had my fiance, an attorney, write a letter to my old emplyoer asking for my last paycheck. It seems that in California employment is not terminated until your employer pays you your final check. So I was earning money from them while I was already working on the new contract job. The same day they got the letter I got a call from them telling me my check was ready. Now they were pissed. And they didn't even know I had stolen the customer yet.

So nothing wrong with going to the emplyment agency, but for the moment go find a new job. Then worry about payback if you still care enough.
