I am a sales rep for a firm. My previous employer, which is a competitor of my current employer, called my bosses boss and said that I was saying negative things in the market about their company. None of this is true and my belief is that they have simply assumed I have been bad mouthing them since they have lost a couple of accounts to my current firm. Naturally this has a negative affect on my new employers perception of me. My question is should I pursue a slander case against my former employer?
