What is the name of your state? Kentucky

My wife worked in a resturuant in Kentucky, I also worked there but quit a month before. When she went to tell the general manager she planned to put in her 2 week notice she was asked to put it in writing, she did and immediately the manager told her "she was done here" and then he proceeded to talk "badly" to her saying and I quote "your husband was nothing but dead weight when he was here nobody liked him, and he is dead weight to you and you need to leave him".
I want to also point out that I personally had no customer complaints during my time with this company and niether has my wife. And when she called the store to get her schedule for her last two weeks she was informed that she was no longer on the schedule, in other words "she is done here"
I am curios if there is any legal action I can pursue?

There are thousands of posts similar to yours so I have prepared a standard answer:

Get a lawyer.

Invest $20K and three years.

Sue the bad people for defamation.

If you win, expect them to keep doing it.

If you lose, expect them to keep doing it.


Stand by for other opinions.
