In the corporate world when a higher up ask how’s it going, they do not actually want to know.
The proper reply is “everything is great”.

So,
I just started a job two months ago. I was written up for theft of wine and pizza. (I Work in one of my state's largest retirement homes). Here's my problem. The vice director i.e. asked how its going. I made a few comments about how my boss is always negative towards myself, even though i have a ton of positive reviews. She told my boss that I complained. Now its retaliatory. I also, mentioned that the two other assistant general managers have gone behind my back to complain that I'm not " cohesive with my co-workers ". Whats the absolute best way to convey with my HR. Has anyone here had to fight a boss or hr? The gloves are off.
If OP lives in an “at will” state, his best choice is to leave on his terms since an employer doesn’t even need a reason to fire people.I agree this might not be the best venue for this. But document everything, contact your states labor dept. (which vary widely) possibly contact a lawyer that specializes in employment and labor law if that is in your budget. But I would think theft allegations would require some sort of proof. I'm guessing they didn't contact the police. Are there cameras (CCTV) in that area of the bulding?
Did you sign the writeup? Do you work in the kitchen, Did someone witness you nibbling a slice and taking a sip of wine, or were you caught on camera carrying a whole pizza and bottle of wine to your car? A lot of unanswered questions here but I will say that all of the companies I have ever worked for, theft was the number 1 reason for immediate dismissal. There’s another side to this story that we’re not hearing.I was written up for theft of wine and pizza

Like zero... Trust no one.
Isn't that the truth! I checked our local large university jobs posting page and they list 800+ openings. Of those, nearly 300 are staff positions, many that do not require a college education. The jobs have decent benefits, pay, and protections from situations such as the OP's.There’s 10 million job openings.
Nursing homes serve alcohol?I was written up for theft of wine and pizza.
You’ve never heard Hotel California by The Eagles?Nursing homes serve alcohol?
My mom lives in a large group assisted living facility and they have a "free" happy hour every Friday afternoon. One of many perks you get for $3,500/month fees. It's a bit comical because she points out the "cliques" , who's dating who, etc. .........very similar to high school she says, except most here are walking around a bit bent over, with walkers, oxygen machines, scooter chairs, yada yada yada.Nursing homes serve alcohol?
The OP used the term “retirement home” which may, or may not, encompass either of the above terms. I’m really not certain what he does, or where he works, or for whom, just that he’s been accused of stealing and “the gloves are off.”Nursing home and assisted living are not the same thing.
Turn in your two weeks’ notice on your next work day, and expect for them to walk you out the same day. Just being realistic. Cut your ties now while you still have some control of the situation.
I mostly agree and I'd leave one way or another. But if these allegations are false or unproveable, the OP might want to confront HR regarding the allegations. "What proof is there? Why weren't police notified? You have thieves but do not fire them immediately? Wow, you really do protect the residents here, don't you?". Just "write up" them?If OP lives in an “at will” state, his best choice is to leave on his terms since an employer doesn’t even need a reason to fire people.
But really, if an employer is willing to accuse you of stealing KNOWING it’s a false accusation, who would really want to continue working for them? There’s 10 million job openings. Give the liars an additional opening, and go fill one for a more honest employer!
