LAWYER FRIENDS? SOS....

HR is mostly full of idiots, they look for reasons not to hire people. It's always best to bypass HR by going directly to a decision maker. It's a tight job market now (this never lasts) just keep on rowing.

Here's the deal:

First you have to prove what they said: Even if you wrote it down, it's still a record of the discussion, but having it on tape is better. Even better would be having a potential employer tell you. Perhaps you have a friend who owns a business who could / would help you out.

Second, you have to prove that what they said was a lie. If what this person is saying pertains to the hobby or your personal life, it better be true and / or provable. That being said, if someone is saying you're an escort and they know you are, then it's the truth. Even if they can't prove it, a slander trial against your former employer will ostensibly turn into a trial about whether you're an escort. You probably don't want that.

You also need to prove they said what they said with the intention of harming you and, if you want to make the suit worthwhile, you need to prove damages. Originally Posted by CaptainKaos

yes, I figured any trial would end up being about me....I sure don't want or need that! it just makes me so mad!! I feel helpless and I hate that feeling. there is nothing I can do. and some of the jobs I missed out on were really good ones! I just did not think in a million years my boss could tell anyone who called claiming to be an employer, that I had legal problems! I didn't have legal problems...they wanted to create problems for me! I just did my regular job...and very well. rotten adult sons of bitches

I agree. He's a jerk. You should send him over a male stripper or a tranny escort to his office.
