About two years ago I worked for a company, I worked for them for about four months before I quit for better pay. I went looking for a new job shortly after my coworker ran through the place stripping off his clothes and yelling obscinities(please keep in mind it was a resturaunt establishment). It turned out that he had gone back into the back cooler to drink beer and smoke weed.

Although what others do on their own time is their business, I found that this was a poor working environment. I sought alternative employment.

I have been out of a job for a few months now and have applied at a few places around town. But I recently found out that that particular employer has been falsifying information about my employment and the termination.

He has told not just possible future employers, but people who know me personsally that I was fired for doing/dealing drugs on premesis durring work hours. This, however, is untrue, and many of my acquantances have defended me on this subject to him and others.

I know I can file for slander, but how should I handle this situation. And is there anything I can do to remove him from his possition? This angers me a great deal and I have spent many hours dwelling on this.

Any advice, comments, or previous experiences would be greatly appriciated.
