My question involves defamation in the state of: North Carolina. This is all hypothetical. I was working for a employer. I was pulled aside weeks earlier and told I was doing a great job. Never wrote up. Never counseled. Never told I was displaying poor performance. Fiancé and organ issues and needed surgical intervention and help during recovery. I received a doctors note under my name for my employer stating that.
During this personal crisis I called my company the first day I was out and informed them. They said take as long as I need but make sure I get a note proving my absence was necessary. I turned my note in excusing my past absence and my recovery time. I came back into work early with 6 more excused days left. The next thing I know I am being let go.
First it was I have so much going on they are just going to let me go. To which I replied I am coming back to work. Now if complications arise from surgery I can't make promises, but I am trying.
Then it was I am doing poorly at work. Then I replied. Why am I hearing this now? As well that's impossible. You either use a bundle of conduit a day or you don't.
He brought up a situation where I used four sticks of conduit. I replied that situation is being taken out of context. All morning that day I was helping unload heavy equipment. Cleaning a room that we had finished in. Hauling new supplies to work area. At the end of the day I was told I had to make a addition to pre existing conduit. Which I had to pull two sticks off. Cut the sticks to mount a box and run said 4 sticks to another junction box. It was all the job required. It was a wonder I finished it in a day being it was dropped on me 2 pm and we leave at 4 30pm.
Any way in this situation is it lawful for employer to give me a bad reference with no proof, no write ups, and no warnings?
