Some argued that threatening to badmouth employees to future employers might constitute criminal intimidation, workplace harassment, and defamation.
SINGAPORE: A Singaporean employee is allegedly being pressured by his superior to resign, with the threat of tarnishing his reputation with future employers if he doesn’t comply.
“If he doesn’t resign, he would be put in Performance Improvement Plan because of subpar work. Superior also threatened to badmouth him to future employers for his subpar work, so it’s best that he goes quietly. HR asked him when he would be resigning,” he said.His friend also revealed that other employees at the same company are receiving similar threats and being pressured to resign.
In light of the situation, some suggested that the affected employees gather evidence of these threats and seek legal counsel to address the situation. They advised that employees should document any communications related to the threats and pressure to resign, as this could be crucial in building a case for legal action or complaints to relevant authorities.
“If role is redundant that means retrenchment. No way pressuring ppl to resign is the right thing. But please make sure your source is really legit and truthful before pointing fingers.”
