UMy previous employer has sent me a legal notice for defamation, because I shared my experience and the harassment I faced at the company on a public domain. They are willing to proceed with litigation if I don’t delete the post and publish an apology online, whereas I have all proofs of harassment, the ordeal I had to go through and even my forced resignation that the HR asked from me.
How can I go about this and what are my options?

UThey don’t have a legal standing ….send them a legal notice in return ..they will back down ..but I hope what you are saying has proofs and all …

UYes, everything is documented and recorded. No statement has been made that is false or is an exaggeration. They were aware of my harassment while I was an employee, because I complained multiple times. They refused to do anything and now they have sent me a legal notice for defamation, stating that the company did take an action against my complaint – not true.

FIf you have proof of all the harassment then its not defamation. make sure you are not disclosing any confidential information in the public post. Even things like processes, how sales are done etc could disclose some confidential data about the company which is not known in the public domain.
Barring that they have no case. Engage a lawyer and respond to the legal notice.

UNothing will happen. I went through the same few years ago and startup demanded 70 lacs for defamation and causing ‘emotional distress’ to the founder lmao. The guy was the biggest prick ever.
I used the notice as toilet paper. I don’t even have 70 lacs. But I did send them a standard response denying all their claims.

MOP – please dont repeat such a thing – its a career limiting move. Your future employers may withdraw their offers in order to avoid similar situations.
Also you need to anonymise your postings such that it cant be easily traced back to you.

UDon’t worry legal notice is b******* if a legal cases filed then that trouble starts stop responding to them also understand that defamation is filed on the basis of the cost of reputation so if I believe that my reputation cause 1 crore then I can file defamation case against you for 1 crore but that doesn’t mean that I will get one one crore if I win the case or you will have to pay one crore if you lose the case so don’t worry it’s just to scare you don’t apologize and tell them do whatever you want I will not apologize also truth is an exception to defamation so you are right so don’t apologize
