I was fired back in July from by job as a computer tech. Basically I work for my boss a family owned business for 7 years. His reason for letting me go was I was being to critical of the way he was running his business. (The way he treated people)... Anyway several employees have since left his employment. Including a retired sheriff I was told by these people that my empolyer told them that I was fired for stealing a power supply.. about a $25.00 item.. mind you that I have had the keys to the store for many years and had plenty of oppourtunity to rip them off if I wanted too (laptops monitors etc...). I went to work for the compitition which further enraged him because I took my clients with me. After speaking to one of clients they told me the same that I was fired for stealing a power supply, I have never stole a dime from this man and cannot undersand why he would be saying this other than to discredit me or make me look dishonest. Do you think this would be Slander?
