After giving literally months of notice to allow my former company to find my replacement, I finally said I couldn't wait on them to drag their feet any longer and resigned. My manager of 3 months, who had become so because my previous manager resigned suddenly in the face of sexual harassment I brought to the company's attention, has been telling employees, business associates in my area, and even my family (discovered this yesterday at Easter dinner) that I was fired. This wasn't even close to the case; in fact, he had begged me to stay on and "get over" the harassment issue.
He also told me that the aforementioned manager with the harassment issue was "fired, and he deserved it, too", even though the head of HR told me personally, and the entire company via email, that he had resigned. I believe he told me that lie to get me to think he was on my side while I was telling him I did not want to stay with the company. This guy clearly will say whatever he thinks will work, as opposed to whatever is true and accurate.
I've never been fired from any job, and I proudly state that on any application and during interviews. Plus, I had intended to pursue employment with a business contact that he has told this lie to. Do I have a civil, or any, case against him or the company?
