My former employer said untrue harmful comments about me to a prospective employer that cost me a good job. Can I sue and collect damages?

Answered 10 years and 7 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

terminated at work for causing "drama"

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer
You do not provide any facts that suggest that you might prevail in a lawsuit against your employer. As a general matter, employment in the U.S. is on an "at will" basis, which means that your employment may be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason at all.
