I was terminated from my job in 2018 August. I worked with a pharmaceutical (plasma company) facility in Oklahoma for. I was the assistant manager of two with a center director I reported to. We three were given corporate cedit cards with a monthly available balance of $2500. Upon management training for managers, we are told if we incidently use the card for personal purchases that we were to pay it back and just be more aware of what we are purchasing when we use the CC. I had a flawless record with the company with no call ins or displinary actions against me. My center director had been after me for months due to I found out through an employee that she did not fire an employee after she found out that he had stolen a $50 gift card from another employee. The victim called me in distress because the accused worked in the same department as her. I advised the employee to contact our regional director and she complied. The RD questioned the CD and the RD questioned me as well. I disclosed the integrity lack there of that the CD has displayed since hiring. Well the had to question the CD, and of course my name was given. I later found out that the my CD was upset and I noticed that she was placing me on shitty schedules while the other assistant manager was able to literally pick the hours she wanted to come to work. Back to the corporate credit card. So every month one of us are responsible for doing a recon of the purchases that are made. The other assistant manager was completing the task and she asked me about a $75 purchase. I responded telling her that I was not aware of a purchase of such. I asked what store but the title said grocery. I told her that all my receipts are in the pouch where they are supposed to be kept. She could not locate it. So I decided to look in my purse, and behold the receipt was at the bottom of my purse with my other old personal receipts. I gave it to her and she asked what was a "Nettie Pot". I told her I did not know. So we looked it up and it was a slow cooker. My mouth dropped because I then realize that I purchase a wedding gift for one of hour co-workers a month prior not realizing I used the wrong card because I have the same credit card with the same bank and pin number. That is the reason the receipt was at the bottom of my purse because I thought it was my card I used. Well it was late when the recon was being done, so I emailed purchasing and told them what I did and that I would forward a cashier check the next day ( which I did). The next day my center director came in and I was busy working in the production area. Well 30 minutes after she came to work she called me in the office and wanted to know what happened. I told her and she then stated she needed to inform our regional director,which was something she did not have to do because the money was paid back, plus it was a honest mistake, as well as it was already explained by corporate what we are suppose to do if this happens. I am also aware of other managers making larger purchases than mines and the money was paid and they are still employed. Well I worked the entire weekend by myself and come that Friday, I was called in the office and terminated. I was floored! I came in with 15 years of plasma experience and this has never happened to me. I tried filing for unemployment and it was denied. I appealed it and it was denied. When I went through the appeal process, it was teleconference and we could only answer certain questions. When I tried to explain about the retaliation, the judge cut me off and striked the statement. I called corporate and tried to explain to them as well, and still same thing, I was cut off. I have never been so humiliated in my life! I have been searching for a job every since. Luckily I am married and my husband brings in a very good salary. I started subbing at the public schools, but that not what I want to do. I have a Master Degree in Human Resource Management and I am part ways done with my PhD. in Human Resource Management. I am lost for words on what approach I can take with the company as well as my next career. I literally have submitted over 100 applications.

I am so sorry for the long text, but I really need some guidance on what direction to go in. More than anything I want a career. I am willing to relocate as long as it's not too far from home.
