    Default Re: Employer Made Me Write a Resignation Letter

    Nope, I was stupid enough I never applied for an unemployment because right after termination I had my own business. The business was more of a joke, I could barely make $6,000 a year! But even with such income I don't think I would've qualified for an unemployment.

    It's sad that managers have full power and pretty much do whatever they want. I was and still not the type of person who lets others walk over me and I don't eat crap. Of course I ended up empty handed losing good salary job.

    Is it also legal if a manager wrote a bad recomendation later for me in company's data base so I won't get hired by that company even if I'd continue to apply for other positions?

    In answer to your last question, yes, as long as what is said is the truth or the reference-giver's honestly held opinion.

    So pretty much if one person in company does not like you, he can make your employment a living hell?

    The manager did some shady deals and I kinda found out about them. He'd outsource lots of work to one crappy company (ex-employees) and they would get paid for that work thousands of dollars. The manager would write them a check. He had an authority outsourcing work as needed and make a decision how much money from our department's budgets he'd pay them.

    The sad thing is, after that xxx outsource company would get paid thousands of company's $$$$$, I'd have to redo their entire work and work as salary employee. Since I knew too much I think he decided to get rid of me (actually I am positive) and he made me sign the letter.

    The check that I'd received after my termination did not state anything what for I was getting paid. I did not have any sick time nor vacation time. The check was signed by my manager but it was our company's check.

    Yup. And your options are suck it up, or seek employment elsewhere.

    If the statements your manager made, so the co. wont hire you back, are false (and you can prove that they are false statements) then you may have a claim.

    For both slander/libel causes of action you have to answer 1 question: is the statement a statement that would be considered so outlandish (ie you committed a felony) that you were harmed by the statement itself. You have a claim then w/o the need to prove the statement actually caused harm - the statement itself is considered harmful in itself.

    If the answer is no then a false statement must be shown to have caused you harm (ie you apply for a job at the co. and was turned down); if so, then you also have a claim. If not, you have no claim.

    I would write a rebuttal for your personnel file in any event.
