Ex-friend is telling people I know that "I'm amazed she hasn't been fired yet" behind my back and I don't know what to do about it. She isn't known to cause drama or speak Ill of people so I'm pretty sure everyone is on the edge of believing her and questioning my employability.



She doesn't know where I work nor what I do. She doesn't have any evidence to back up her opinion.



I'm known around the office as a competent and trust worthy employee, I don't know whether this will make it back to my employer but I thought it'd be safe to ask here:
What should I do to prepare for any of this?
Is this slender or defamation?
Should I go to HR and explain the situation to them?

Is this slender or defamation?




Well, surely this is speaking bad of you, and perhaps seeking to hurt your professional reputation.



This could well be because this woman is jealous of you or your professional success.




Should I go to HR and explain the situation to them?




Absolutely not.



This woman does not work in your company (nor is she telling these things to your coworkers), so this is not an issue HR should be handling.




What should I do to prepare for any of this?




Continue doing whatever you are doing to be considered "around the office as a competent and trust worthy employee".



In other words, keep up the good work. Her telling this only to your friends will hardly have any consequences in your job. It would be very unwise and weird of her part to try to reach out to your coworkers to tell them this, as they know you are a good worker and will not be easily carried on by gossip from a stranger.

  • Even if her comments did reach people who matter, some random person thinking somebody else should be fired isn't grounds for termination. If it were, probably everyone, everywhere would have been fired.
