Unfair Treatment

[HelpMe3]

My jurisdiction is: California

Hello I currently have a problem with my employer. I was relieved from my job do to a situation that happened at my previous job even doe I was cleared from the problem at my other work because they found out that I did not do it just like I had told them. I have been harassed,have worked under a lot of pressure and a lot of hostility around me what can I do? It's affecting my personal life my family, I can't sleep and at times have a hard time concentrating at my new job. This other job that I was relieved from is my childhood dream it took a lot hard work and effort to get there, and because someone in a higher position wanted to believe someone he has known for years he took it upon himself to take that action and when I tried to explained it to him he shoot me down did not want to hear it. His statement was that's between you and your employer that I had at that time.

All you can do is look for other employment. If the employer chooses to believe what they were told regardless of the outcome that took place at your other place of employment, then they are within their rights to terminate your employment. Nothing you posted suggests that the employer did anything illegal.

A prospective employer as well as a former employer could be guilty of negligent conduct, particularly if the sought position involves risk to the person as well as property of others (That's most jobs).
That said the prospective employer that checks the references and the former employer that supply information, are subject to potential liability if the exchange of information illegally harms the job applicant. This may arise under several common law principals, such as defamation, the right of privacy, and most important interference with prospective economic advantage.
Some states have enacted statutes to modify the common law this along with recent court decisions have begun to slowly move in favor of the job applicant.
