I’m being sued by a former employee.. can I counter sue for slander?

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

I can post the paperwork. The plaintiff lives in Irvington, NJ. The law firm is out of Springfield, NJ

I would post the docket number, but I like my anonymity on thecoli.com. But it’s a real lawsuit

I’m just glad, the company is giving me/paying for my lawyer.

Lies. What is the employer giving YOU a personal attorney for?

If this so called lawsuit is real- the lawyer would represent the entity i.e. your employer not you. The company has employment lawyers either on staff or a firm on retainer/contracted for these types of matters. So why would they provide you personally with an attorney?


You’re not the CEO or a person of importance either. None of ever you said makes any damn sense- that’s what happens with fraudulence.

Lawyers are going to ask you if you talked about the case outside of the job, so it makes no sense they would trust you for testimony when you can’t even restrict yourself from posting on a public forum. You are a damn lie with this thread.

You had no thread. You’re avoiding my questions because you lied and that’s your way out. I asked legitimate questions that you didn’t think through before you posted.

Do you really think people are that dumb to not question your legitimacy when you have a legacy of lying on multiple threads?

You're not being straight with things. In litigation, you go after the party who can afford to pay. It wouldn't make sense for him to sue you directly when your employer is vicariously liable for your actions.

If there is truth to your story, he's suing your employer for discrimination and your name got dragged into the mix. Now you want to find out if you have your own cause of action. This is why you're not putting the question to your lawyer, because they're not actually your lawyer.

You derailed my thread. congrats.

Maybe you should stop attention seeking and seek psychiatric help.

It’s over. Get your affairs in order.

So a personal suit doesn’t make sense. I do employment law. Suing you personally for being the one who communicated the firing is a quick motion to dismiss and you’d get out of the case in no time. Before any suit is file though, the employee needs to go through the administrative process (i.e. EEOC or state agency). Unless it’s a section 1981 discrimination claim. Most likely it’s Title VII which has to go through the EEOC or state agency first. If the employee didn’t, again, a quick motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

But even if you miss time at work behind this bullshyt? And money on legal fees?

generally, people have to pay their own legal fees. like people posted in the thread already though, for the claim against you for acts you did as an agent of your employer... that fee should be covered by your employer and your employer probably has to give you some type of paid leave as a matter of policy for attending interviews or whatever. if you want to do some personal claim, then yeah that's probably on you.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

are you seriously going to post this on a public message board instead of seeking legit and professional legal advice?

Probably because there is no lawsuit, or manager, OP probably don’t even have a job

OP are you african american?

Long story short

He was a manager and I was the area manager so he reported directly to me. He was fired by my boss who was the regional vp.

He had been with the company 12 years and when he got fired I had only been with the company 4 months. My boss actually decided to fire him and he wanted me to be there as a witness and to conduct transitional work with the manager stepping into the role temporarily.

But the manager wasn’t there and my boss couldn’t wait so he gave me the letter and asked me to explain shyt.


This was December 2021. He’s suing the company for racial discrimination and he’s suing me because I’m the one that fired him. All of the discrimination claims took place years before I even worked there.

The company is paying for my legal fees, but this is bullshyt. I gotta do a deposition and possibly go to a trial. He’s Haitian and I’m a black with an Arabic name. When I told the attorney that she laughed. He was one of 6 managers that reported to me. One was Nigerian, another was from Guyana, another was from Jamaica and another was fukking Dominican. In fact only one manager was white.

Can I counter sue for slander?

Im not a litigious guy, but i have sued the city once and walked away with a nice little settlement.

Its my understanding u can sue anybody for pretty much anything. Doesnt mean u have a case, or even if u do that u will win. But u can file the suit if u have the filing fee. With that in mind one pretty good indicator u have a pretty solid case is if u can get a lawyer to eat the filing fees and other expenses associated with the case on the contingency the money comes back out of ur judgment/settlement.

No one likes wasting money, so if no lawyers are willing to put up the up front costs, its likely ur case is or at the very least not worth the risk and time for the lawyer.

At least that is my anectdotal/common sense understanding.
