Cases of defamation in the workplace can seriously affect the victim causing difficulties or problems at work by affecting their personal and/or professional image.
The term labor defamation refers to the moment in which a worker or a group of workers starts a false rumor about one of their colleagues and tells it to more people with the sole purpose of tarnishing their image before the company in general or before his superiors so that he is fired and keep his position or simply because he does not like the person.
On the other hand, it may be that a superior begins to spread false information about an employee within the industry in which they work to prevent them from getting another job.
Any form of employment defamation such as the ones mentioned above can affect the victim by not allowing them to find another job, tarnishing their image with their superiors causing them to fire them or no longer believe in their abilities and integrity as a person.
Although it may seem difficult to prove a case of labor defamation that occurs only through oral communication, it is possible by having witnesses and evidence with the help of a lawyer, and in cases in which the defamation also occurs through digital means such as messages text, emails, posts, etc. , it is even easier to be able to prove the abuse suffered by the victim by having hard evidence with screenshots or images of what was happening while the victim was being attacked by their co-workers or supervisor.
Enlisting the help of an employment lawyer can help you win your case and recover compensation for any lost wages or money you may have lost in settling your case and any other damages that may have resulted from the defamation you suffered. It will also be possible for you to clean up your personal and work image so that this does not continue to affect you during your professional career.
