I know, not a poll or survey, but If I lose my job because of a lie that a customer said to my manager...?

Would that be considered slander and could I sue that customer for damages? I work in a hotel and a guest claimed that I called his girlfriend and told her that he was bringing strange women back to the hotel. I didn't do this of course since I don't know him or her and it wouldn't be any of my business anyways, but it got me into really hot water with my manager, who believed him over me. I am an exemplary employee who even received a near perfect score on my evaluation two weeks ago. I have not lost my job, but since leaving the gentleman has called several times asking to speak with the manager who has been out. I am worried that when she gets back he will call her and tell her something else and I will lose my job. If this happens is there any kind of recourse that I could take against him or against the hotel?


I'm just looking for answers and the law section is of course incredibly slow. I don't even know if anybody is there...

OMG, Patrick...Did this go further than the last time you posted this Q? I am SO sorry to hear this. I was hoping that we had settled you down some on it, but GEEZ. I would sue the Customer for lost wages, damages and SLANDER. How hard will it be for you to get a job with that on your record. I believe that YES you do have something substantial to go on. Slander and defamation of character.

Reply:Oh yeah you can sue....





Not sure its called "slander" though, i think the correct term is "lible" or something.





At any rate, you have a case I'm pretty sure.
