take legal action or just drop it?
 

A friend of mine worked through a temp agency at a local business. Everything was going smooth for the first several months until some lady at her job "joked" that a guy in upper management was her boyfriend in front of some people. This guy and my friend would talk occassionally although he was not known to be very social or friendly. Basically, he talked to you only when he had to sort of deal. This crazy lady then went on telling people my friend spread crazy rumors about her around the job. My friend told this lady to take a hike and she was canned two days later. The lady went into one of the managers office and next thing my friend knew she no longer worked there. Should my friend let it be or give this woman a taste of her own medicine?

I guess it really depends on if the hassle would be worth the possible outcome (as different locations have different laws/procedures so it's hard to tell just how dificult a lawsuit might be).

Sometimes it's best to walk away and find better to begin with imho :)

idiots deserve it

I'd tell her to move on obviously it was'nt ment to be

Drop it like it's hot.

the better question is what would your friend be suing for?

isn't that a form of defamation of character?

What is there to take legal action regarding?

the lady creating false drama that caused her to be terminated

one of the managers admitted to my friend that he knew the lady was lying but chose not to do anything. He then started initiating sex with her instead of helping out with the problem. how shitty!!!

there goes christmas:Oh crap

Legal action takes lots of money lawyers dont work for free. Drop it.

Tell her to slash the c unts tires and move on.

Not necessarily true. Depends what Country we're speaking of.

The United States

This doesn't need legal action this got a good ol catch fight written all over it.

If it's a right to work state, she is fucked.
