What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
Im very dissapointed to be writing this message again as I know I posted it earlier but I do not find it anywhere.
Bottom line is this.
I worked for a restaurant as the GM, a decision was made by the owner to take over as the operator.
A restaurant review critic comes in, hears from a server that I was fired.
The critic then publishes his article and the intro is about me, my first and last name, that I had been fired and then goes on to say that it seems pretty quick for that to happen but that he has met some incompetent GMs before. He then proceeds to author his review of the restaurant.
I was made aware of it when friends started texting and calling me becuase they had read it themselves.
I am embarrassed first of all and secondly very concerned about the affect on my job hunt.
The owner of the restaurant did email ( and then forwarded to me) the ad rep for the publication expressing his dispeasure with the article and that he could not believe they would slander and slam a local guys career like that. The email he forwarded me included the ad reps response who admits to him that he too is very upset about the article and that he and the publisher were going to have a talk with the author and editor.
All of that is great for them but I have heard from no one from the publication, no apology has been sent my way and I am flat humiliated and ticked off.
Do I have any rights that protect me from my private matters being put on display like that? First amendment **************my but. That is not news worthy and no ones business that I do not choose to involve. Not to mention the owner has given me a letter of referral expressing the that my position was eliminated. that is a layoff, or downsize or whatever but not the firing of an incompetent manager.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
