Q: I believe I have been a victim of libel in my workplace does this situation fit the parameters to pursue legal action?
a complaint was submitted via email to the VP of my org from another VP that contained inaccurate information and blatant lies about me. I have evidence proving each item was a fabrication. I have been suffering with insomnia since being informed of this complaint as I am plagued with stress and anxiety of how my reputation could be tarnished as I have no idea how widespread this complaint has been shared. The stress of not knowing how this could impact my current position, potential future career opportunities, and any potential further advancement has completely impacted my quality of life and ability to focus on anything but this situation.
A: Sure , you can start a process again him , remember this situation may carry other consequences in the near future. So, I suggest to present a lawsuit as soon as possible. Libel propagates smoothly and quickly.
