What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Two questions for you folks.
A former coworker of mine was ask to transfer to another location and chose to quit. She then filed a false claim for unemployment (which was denied) stating that she was a victim of 'workplace abuse' and she directly named me. She was a manager in a position of authority of me. I guarantee you there is no truth to her claim. However, since then my employer has made a comment to the effect that 'there must have been something to her claim' and I am receiving different treatment than others. Is this defemation of character?
Also, in the past I have asked questions regarding the promotion process where I work. One person was put into the management program simply because she needed health care benefits. I did question the fairness of this. The other day my supervisor saw me looking for an attorney in the yellow pages. He then called the owner of the company and told him he thought I was about to file an age discrimination lawsuit. I then felt compelled out of fear for my job to produce a highly personal document showing exactly why I was looking for an attorney. The day after this I also received a very vague Warning Notice that was put in my file. I'm still unclear as to what the warning actually means. I asked for clarification from my supervisor and he said he didn't know. He just did what they told him to do. Is this a violation of my privacy.
Is there anything I can do to remedy either of the above. I am really fruststrated now and am looking for a new job.
