What is the name of your state?CA
I was recently fired from my job after 6.5 years with this company. It was a bogus firing, but since I live in CA, I just dealt with it and filed for my Unemployment benefits, which I am receiving. I was starting to put it behind me when out of the blue, one of my previous clients called me and told me that the girl that groomed her dogs told the client that I was fired for undercharging customers and that I was investigated for it and fired. Now, this is not even remotely why I was fired first of all. Secondly, what right does this employee have to tell anyone that is receiving services why I am no longer there? Do I have a right to seek legal action against the employer and employee- The worker apparently said these things to the client in front of the manager. I have looked up a few former clients in the phone book and left messages for them to find out if this was an isolated event or a pattern. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
