What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
Do I have a defamation case? I was recently terminated after being at my job for 5 years. Anyway, when I asked my boss in front of two other employees of the company why I was being terminated, he said it was because the auditors that were in weeks prior "felt I was dishonest". When I asked him about what, he told me I'd have to call Human Resources. When I finally spoke to Human Resources the next day I was told it was for something totally different (basically not doing my job properly). I told her what my boss said and she said no that wasn't true but don't let any propective employers call him.
In the meantime, I have also found out that when one of my ex-employees asked him why I was fired, he told them it was because I was dishonest. However, I did get in writing for Human Resources within the company that it wasn't dishonesty that I was terminated for.
Do I have a case here? Since he told me this and my ex-employee told me this I've had severe anxiety where I've even seen two doctors because of it. I'm also so scared that if I have to put him on an application as my boss that he will say the same thing.
Please help.
