Default Boss threatening to sue me for deleting emails

Hi there. I recently resigned from a job and supposedly parted on good terms with the boss and company. It’s the worst job with a crazy boss but no choice lah, have to find work. I am of a senior executive level in a small SME.

So I had a few days of annual leave left and contacted my boss to encash it. The mercenary son of a #^&& in turn threatened to sue me as I deleted all emails permanently from company serve (just a habit) and said that it was breach of contact as it stated I cannot delete company data under “copyright” of my contract.

Do you think my ex boss has a case? I also have a few things to use against him, such as him cheating big companies by inflating the actual database he has VS what he told them.

It’s only a few hundred bucks worth of encashed leave but I am super pissed!

Thanks so much.

Doesn't seem that you two have parted ways "on good terms".

If you are looking for emotional validity in this forum you are looking at the wrong place.

Looking at the information above, your immediate reaction to your own failings could be summed up as dismissive and trigger happy. Dismissing it as a case of "just a habit" and threatening to pull out dirty laundry to counter-threaten your ex-company? Wow, it really sounds like you are an extremely bad employee.

I wish you get sued so other employers could save themselves from you.

No I am not out to validate any emotions - I am sincerely seeking advice or those who've had similar experience. I have reasons why I have to back myself up with "dirty laundry" seeing how my ex boss has threatened colleagues who have resigned as well (20 colleagues have resigned in the span of a year in a company of about 6 staff).

As for "parting on good terms", I have extended assistance to my ex company well beyond what was needed, and even advised ex boss when he called me. Which is why I am semi surprised that he is threatening me now I am asking for what is rightfully mine.

Now that you sound more stable, it is time to talk.

I do not think you have a case against your ex company, inflating numbers are common and very debatable. What he has against you is much more substantial.

Can't you just let go of that few hundred dollars and move on?

Yeah I am prepared to move on. I am counting blessings that I am now in a much better office with great bosses and I want to consider the $600 owed a "donation". But at the same time I am also very pissed :P He also deducted a few hundred dollars from my salary for various reasons such as forgetting to tap in and out for lunch. All in all he deducted thousands over the past one year from all my ex colleagues for tiny misdemeanors.

As for the inflating of numbers... The client actually paid tens of thousands $ amount for XX fulfillment, but the actual fulfilled was 1/10 of it.
