Wow, sorry to hear that... Wouldn't this be considered slander? I do not know anything about the legal parts of slander, but she apparently told the facility in Virginia something awful if they just dropped your interview like that... I would write a letter to the place in Virginia and tell them the whole story. They can either crumple it up and throw it away, or they can give you another shot. I would also consider contacting a lawyer, not sure about how to go about it, but it would seem like a lawyer would know how/if it is possible to find out exactly what she told them in Virginia. Sorry you are going through this..  |

What a totally rotten thing for her to do! I don't know anything about slander, either. Can you let the new employer cool down for a little while and try to contact him again? In all fairness, he should talk to you. If he won't, it's probably better not to work for him. He could be a nut job.

I don't know if I would tell the new employer the "whole story". But you should continue to try and make some contact with them. If they see that you are persistant, they maybe take the time to listen. I would not talk bad things about the woman who did this to the new people. I would maybe present it to them that she was upset that you were leaving and then in a way to try and end your leaving, called them. Whether out of jealousy or loss of friendship, people so some really rotten things. I would also NOT go back to work for her, even if she begs you. She's done a good job at ruining your new path, no point in letting her do it again. I would not communicate with her ever again.
What you can do to fix things is to just live your life and keep doing good work that shows future employers that you are a good worker. Don't let that get you down, people will see that the things she said are not true, and in the end it will only make her look stupid for saying such things. You may have lost the job in Virgina, and it might hurt you emotionally. Things happen for a reason and maybe its a good thing this happened. Possible something better is around the other corner? Be positive!

Are you dead set on Virginia? The reason I ask is b/c there's a bunch of jobs that you would qualify for in the horse industry online! If you do a Google search, you'll see what I mean!

Sounds like you need to get a lawyer.

Just curious, why did you tell your current employer the contact information for the new employer?

I think I would consult an attorney that specializes in employment law. Not sure - but I don't think it's legal for her to contact a prospective employer of yours. If they contact her, she can share certain info, but I don't think she can contact them... Not cool! Sorry to hear that happened.  |

I need to clear this up. She also said in that 1st call she made that she would send my check in the mail and if I wanted to come back the next day she would be there. If I didnt come she understood and would mail my check. She didnt say to call one way or the other. And I knew we would most likly fight over the phone and I dont like fighting in general. But once somebody starts cussing at me for no reason and saying extremely rude things about my familiy memebers, and badgering me about things I have never done it kinda makes me mad.
She was all about me going to that interview at first. Saying there is nothing here in michigan for me anyways. And I could shovel manure anywhere. She doesnt like the snow just as much as I dont. She was saying how shes planning on moving away from the snow as well so she saw my point of view. She has shown on AQHA and APHA circuit shows so I mentioned his name to see if she knew it. She said no. Plus I couldnt even find his number anywhere, the only way I got it is when he called me and gave me the numbers to contact him at. I have no idea how she found them.
She all the sudden she just snapped. I dont get it and still dont.
Thanks for all of your replys. I kept all her messages, and if she doesnt let it go I might consider a lawyer. I am not one to do that, but it is getting real out of hand real quick. I havent spoken to anybody but my boyfriend and my mother about it and wont. I just wanted opinions on if it could have been or can be a legal issue.
And she never took taxes out of my check I did that on my own so I wouldnt get in trouble with the IRS. She wanted it all to be under the table.
