I live in Michigan. My past employer is giving possible NEW employers a bad reference. I had a friend call him and pose as a prospective employer and ask him if he could give any additional information about me. He went on to state that I had several relationships with other employees that resulted in problems for his company. While I did engage in ONE relationship, that was well known by the owner, I was not fired for this reason and was not told that I was not allowed to date a co-worker. This relationship did not result in what he stated as "stalking, involving the police". This is a flat out lie. He's also stating that I left him "High and dry in the busiest month of the year". I had given my two weeks notice and was asked to stay long enough to train a new employee. I ended up not leaving until 3 months later, after said employee was trained. After she was trained and sent to another building, I did not return to work.
Do I have a case against him for slander? I have lost out on at least 3 jobs because of his bad and UNTRUTHFUL references.
