Could I be sued by my employer for making a derogatory comment about her to a co-worker? Apparently some colleagues were in earshot and reported this to my boss. She had them write statements about what I said. I was called into a meeting where she tried to get me to admit to it and then asked me to sign a waiver of “non-retaliation” before she would allow me to read the statements. I told her that I didn’t want to read gossip and wouldn’t sign. This seemed to infuriate her. I asked her where this was leading and she refused to answer. My boss happens to be a former ADA. Can she sue me for slander? Fortunately, I'm a member of a union so she can't fire me --- only harass me on the job (which she is doing).
