What should I do

I have been pretty unhappy at my job that I have had for almost 11 years. A person knows that when the job starts to change you- its time to move on. So with that being said I have been looking for a new job but stayed because it was a job and helping me. But I kept getting passed over for positions, looked beyond for promotions and stayed stuck in the position that I was in for way to long. So this brings me to the present, 3 yrs in with a new store coach and new managers and I am getting crapped on like you wouldn't believe. Not just me a few of us long term people. So I go on a week vacation and hear one of the managers is talking horribly about my minor child(whom she never met) so when I come back I talk to store coach - she does nothing for 2 days. Then calls me into the office with said manager and some woman from another store and starts berating me and falsely accusing me of something that she said happened 3 yrs ago!! I don't even know who she was speaking of but she still stood there with the other manager saying so many harsh things about my child and me!! I couldn't take it I felt attacked and ganged up on that I quit. I told them that this was unfair and unprofessional and quit. Nothing was resolved. Do I get the vacation time I earned? Do I have a case for defamation of character? I'm lost. A lot of the employees that told me what was going on refuse to say anything for fear they will lose their job or be forced to quit also. Fellow job casers I need help right now. . .

i would recommend that you go higher than the store coach. tell the supervisor or go to corporate and let them know what is going on. i would say that you do have a case of defamation of character.

That is definitely a tough situation. i would probably recommend talking to an employment lawyer so they can look into that stuff for you. I do think you did the right thing. No one deserves to be treated like that.
