My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: CA
There is currently a vindictive and manipulative manager that I work under that has completely turned things around on me. This person asked me to write things up that were unsafe job practices and then turned them around to the person and told the person I had to write up that it was me even though the write-up was annonymous. After this, the employee then supposedly filed stalker charges against me per this manager. I had a sit down meeting where I felt like I was on trial and had questions thrown at me about why and how I wrote up the person. They did not address the content of what I wrote up, only the method. I was told I was being investigated by HR for creating a bad work environment as the employee felt unsafe. The manager wanted me disciplined in the meeting but the union representative would not allow it.
So I am now wondering what is going to happen to me at work. I am resigning from my job, but I have not put in an official date yet. Can this prevent me from getting a job elsewhere? If they decided to take some kind of action against me, what could they do and can I fight it? Is the employee actually going to win on this by successfully falsely caliming something in order to cover up errors? I was also accused of the term "slander". I thought that slander is only if you lie about something or falsely accuse someone. I told the truth on something and I get accused of slander and stalking? That doesn't make sense to me. Can they do something to me during the interim that I have put in my two weeks notice?
I just want to quietly leave/resign and go to a different job and be safely away from all of this. This is all after I originally reported the manager for asking me to do something illegal.
