TERMINATED AFTER A WRONGFULLY NEGATIVE PERFORMANCE REVIEW? YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SUE FOR DEFAMATION. CALL BAY AREA EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS.
Were you recently terminated after a false poor performance review? If you believe that your employer gave you a bad review as an excuse to fire you for another discriminatory reason, you are not alone. While you may not be able to prove a discrimination case, you may have a strong lawsuit for defamation. Defamation includes both libel and slander. Libel occurs when something is untrue is printed or written about you. Slander occurs when someone says something that is untrue about you.
If you think that your boss gave you a bad review as an excuse to fire you because of your gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., you may be able to sue for defamation. Some employers are poorly advised to give false criticism in order to cover up a discriminatory firing. An example of this is if your boss wants to fire you because of your gender but writes a false review and says he is firing you for your poor performance. If you have actually been performing well at work, this may constitute defamation.
If you have been wrongfully accused of doing a bad job at your place of work, you may be able to sue. Contact the employment lawyers at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
