Can I sue?

Question

Can I sue?
Was looking ast going to go to certain to of profession. I currently work in a profesion that hates this people in it. I didnt do well on the nesseary graduate school test as I had hoped. However a family friend who also works in the profesion told everyone I was wanted to be this type of profesion. Told my ex-boss and other people. I ended up swithcing jobs but staying in the industry. If my current boss heres the rumor and trys to fire me can't I sue my family friend for slander and the company I work for. Because the event hasnt happened it detremiental to my work the rumor of me going back to school and to potential future earnings in this industry. It would be slander under common law as i understand it correct?

Answer 1

First of all, there is a spelling check box, you might wanna try that,

And why in the world will you sue your own family and friend?

Be responsible for your life man. Take your life in to your hands.

Answer 2

You cannot POSSIBLY be more wrong. On every level.

First, telling people that you are considering going into a certain profession is not slander. It's not slander because it doesn't defame you, and plus, it's true. So no dice there.

Second, if your boss fires you for a rumor that you might be thinking about moving to another industry, you can sue your boss. But why would he? That's just dumb.

Third, suing someone, particularly when you have no reason to, is very shady, not to mention a waste of court resources, a waste of time, and after it gets thrown out of court, they will probably sue you back just for being a schmuck.

Fourth, I am soooo not surprised that you didn't do well enough on a graduate level (!!) test. You can barely put a sentence together! Please consider staying right where you are -- or perhaps trying a less challenging profession, like mopping floors, picking strawberries, or sweeping the sidewalk outside of the liquor store for a dollar a day.

Answer 3

It is not slander, you would not be successful if you sued.

Truth is an absolute defense to a slander claim. The "rumor" was about something that was actually 100% true--that you wanted to go back to school and go into a different profession. Just because you changed your mind after not doing well on the test, doesn't mean that you can sue someone who was only telling the truth--maybe because they were excited for you.

Answer 4

How the hell did you ever get a job in the first place? You are a TOTAL idiot. No you can not sue him for slander. As others have already pointed out if something is true it can't be slander. Two slander is very hard to prove and the burrden of proof would fall on your shoulders. Do yourself a favor and take some remedial English classes

Answer 5

Judging by your grammar and sentence structure I'm not surprised that you did poorly on the test. The family friend sounds more like a loudmouth than a friend and although I'm not a lawyer since you admit to a desire to go into what ever profession you're talking about I don't see any case for slander. Besides, slander as far as I know usually involves some sort of defamation of character based upon falsehood.

Answer 6

i hope you never have to write a report because you can not spell or make a sentence.you bounced all over the place and never made any sense.you need to go back and write the thing to where people can understand what you are saying.what little i could read there is not credible reason to sue anyone for any thing.

Answer 7

If what the family friend said was true - and it sounds like it was -then you have no grounds to sue. Truth is a defense.

Answer 8

Well what about the second thing? I mean you can't think about the second thing until you take care of the first thing...right? But why bring up the second thing at all if you can't deal with the first thing?
Could you be a little more vague?

Answer 9

Good lord....you are a complete idiot.

Did you finish grade school? I've never witnessed grammar like this.
