Re: Slander

Calling names, or belittling, is not a crime or grounds for a lawsuit unless it constitutes slander, a threat, or something like that. We don't know what the owner said, so we can't guess. Post a new note with further details about what was said if you want. As for what you can do, the obvious response is that you can find a new job.

Re: Slander

To add to what Mr. Riddle posted, it would only be slander if the owner belittled you in front of someone else, or otherwise relayed his negative comments to a third person.
