I recently resigned from my job due to a toxic and controlling manager, which left me mentally exhausted. Since my resignation, I've received two job offers, but both were revoked after background checks. I suspect my ex-boss is sabotaging my chances because he couldn't accept my decision to leave. I believe he may be providing negative feedback regarding my sudden resignation, attendance issues, and alleged performance problems. However, the truth is that I was overworked and faced harassment that forced me to resign immediately. Now, I'm seeking legal and career advice on whether it's legal in India for an ex-boss to damage my future employment opportunities. I'm also curious about when this behavior crosses into defamation or professional harassment. If I gather evidence, can I send a legal notice? Additionally, I'm looking for ways to protect myself during background checks moving forward. I’ve started documenting offer letters, rejection timelines, and conversations related to this issue. If anyone has dealt with a vindictive former employer or has insights from HR professionals or lawyers, I would greatly appreciate your advice.
