Question by freethinker1973: How to stop old employers from bad-mouthing and prevent new ones from asking damning questions in interviews?
I work in Pharmacy and Hospital Pharmacists all know each other. I applied at a hospital in VA after quitting a hospital in DC. The DC hospital gave me no other option but to resign without notice because they would not accomodate me on child care issues. 7 months later, I applied at a VA hospital and one of the pharmacists from the DC hospital worked in both places, and the pharmacist bad mouthed me to the VA director of Pharmacy, who made me come in for two humiliating, degrading interviews. In the second interview, she mentioned that someone had bad mouthed me and dangled the job in front of my face, essentially saying that I’d be “lucky” to be given a “second chance”. I know VA is a right-to-work state, but I know DC is not allowed to say such things. Was the pharmacist who worked in both places breaking the law? Was the director of pharmacy at the VA hospital breaking the law? Do I have any legal recourse, either for a civil lawsuit, or a gag order to silence both parties?
