my wife was terminated from her job last week because of error in her judgement. She was at a conference for her company and after drinking with her coworkers, she, as a joke, signed the bar tab to her friends room.
That is not the reason I am asking a question. The question is
After termination, is it legal for a boss or the supervisor who terminated her to tell other coworkers the details of her termination.
Her boss went out to eat with a subordinate of my wifes and told her all the details of the HR meeting and after that the subordinate called some customers of the company and told them what happened to my wife.
We know this because a coworker of my wife who is also a friend said the customers called her and wanted to know more about it.
This worker told the customers that my wife was embezzling funds from the company.
Ok, the question: Is this considered slander and what they did against the law. My wife wants to stay in the industry but now may have been blacklisted because of their actions.
Please point us in the right direction
Thank you
