Employer vs. prospective employee

[Scuba1]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Indiana

Situation: Resume was emailed to 2 people at a local bank. One is the HR Manager, the other is the Manager in the area needing help.
What happened is the Manager for the area - either not knowing or knowing, emailed her response to the resume to the prospective employee and NOT the HR manager. The email was VERY defamatory against the person attempting to get a job there. Untrue statements were made and it was in all very upsetting and very very unprofessional. Not knowing how many people have seen this response, the reputation of this person could have been severly damaged by these statements. (The Manager has NEVER before interviewed this person or talked to this person) is there any chance of going after the Manager & company for Libel and Defamation of Character? Not mention any EEOC laws?

 

[You Are Guilty]

Probably not. Who else was the email sent to?

The EEOC will not touch this case unless there is a VALID reason to believe that the manager's reaction was BECAUSE OF the applicant's race, religion, national origin, gender, disability, pregnancy or because the applicant is over 40.

You have not indicated whether or not the manager knew the applicant personally. If he did not, then unless the applicant included information that should NEVER be on a resume, the manager could not possibly have known the applicant's religion or of a disability or pregnancy. He probably could determine their gender, unless the person is named Lee, Chris or Pat. He could ONLY know the applicant's national orgin or race if the applicant's name is ethnically based. He could ONLY know the applicant's age if the applicant included job history going back 20 years or more.
