Re: employment law
I'm not sure what you are concerned about. Did your sales manager threaten to fire you for making the comment? In general terms, you cannot defame someone in your speech but based on what you report here, it doesn't sound like you did. If you have been terminated or told you would be, you should consult an attorney immediately.
