Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
employment question
A former employer gave me a positive letter of recommendation upon my leaving the position. I spoke to another former employer about going back to work at that place of employment. He told me that the person that wrote the positive letter of recommendation told him that I did not do as good a job as the letter of recommendation said. Do I have any legal action that I can take against this?

Probably not. Unless he made false statements or libelous statements, he is entitled to his opinion as to your work abilities.
