Post: Slander in the workplace

Posted by Kate on 8/16/08
I worked for a company and my boss asked me into her office one day. She told me the company wasnt happy with my work and was going to replace me. I submitted a letter of resignation the following day,and was told I could tell potential employers I quit. A month after countless job interviews, a VP of a company said he was told I was fired and wasnt a good fit for the job. I was out of work for 6 months and finally forced to take a position at an 8K/year cut in pay. During the time out of work I applied and found eligible for unemployment. Now, my previous employer has appealed and found in favor based on the mere fact that I resigned and that my firing "wasnt imminent"...yet they told a major VP elsewhere otherwise. I am now expected to pay back the $4200 I was awarded from unemployment because they are insisting I quit.
