This query is : Resolved
I am working Sales Head for an MNC company and have built & establish all process /policy/ infra / manpower and product launch of new category from Dec 2013 but I was the person who designed the road map of this company except for technical part I joined as Sales Head in March 2013 which I did successfully.
Product launch took place in Dec 2013 everything went well but being new category the sales did not happened as expected but as per our strategy we were heading towards the right path which no doubt will take its own time as "Rome was not build in day.'' Although company has only one product to sale right now & there is no brand extension or product addition being sighted in companies portfolio basket might take another 6 months to roll out and by the time without good volumes thru one product will create frustration and the attrition.
My new VP joined on 20th May everything was cool till 4th July when we were discussing some marketing plan he could not answer my query and abruptly started shouting in front of office staff and arbitrarily without notice he scrapped my position and violated all my rights by making dummy position in one hour and issued mail without HR consent that I will handle WUP project (alone) while all people reporting to me will be now taken care by him also all my responsibility by him and his coordinator.
I and my team is facing intimidating, harassing & humiliating mails from him as he started sending all mails down to my subordinates stating I have no right to manage team and i have to just obey his orders which has spoiled my earned image of 20 yrs in trade moreover all the issues pertaining to this VP has been shared with HR though HR convinces me that company trust you so have faith but for time being you just behave like a sheep and not like sales head which also does not satisfy my as convincing answer.
Now I am still facing unbearable humiliation from him where things have gone out of hand as he is creating hurdles in project and have asked HR to scrap my post and decide on my future. I have spoken to him that platform which he is standing is my individual planned and established infra how you can say that I have not contributed to company and what back ground he is has scrapped my position....which I was never discussed and neither ever mailed as concern if any. I have not resigned but yesterday Meeting Invitation to all was sent except me....whilst Richard is telling staff I have quit when I have not received any show cause or any communication from office ...so I immediately filed a NOTICE on 23rd July through a lawyer asking for explanation but very next day of receiving the legal notice company issued me the termination letter on 30th July 2014 .
Now, I want to be reinstated, compensated for wrongful termination and character defamation.Can I sue this VP for character defamation in IPC & Civil in slandery & libel category.
Would be looking for your urgent response and guidence what to do.

company wherein you have no respect it dosent make sense in fighting fr reinstatement . it is the company prerogative whether they want to employ you or not . leave the organisation collect your dues .
no sense in filing defamation case against the VP . once word goes around that you have tendency to file case against the senior management others will hesitate to employ you

You have capacity, use it, say goodbye to such a company and search your job elsewhere.
No use of filing any case, let future decide the actual position.

Thanks for your suggestion...yes I am doing search elsewhere also,especially when market is small and when you are a national figure in trade it becomes news and difficult to handle when wrong & false allegations without any backgrounds needs to be addressed strongly otherwise for others it will be me having something creepy elements which resulted to this issue and made me sneak away....without raising the voice for unjustice and also how we as a citizen will be ever check all these nusence from companies for their escalating arbiterating approach. I need your help to understand the gravity of my case to put weight on my success of wining when in defmation case slandry as well libel proofs are there where I can demonstrate the company action to be :
1. Retaliatory.
2. Character defamation.
3. Constructive discharge.
4. Violation of Rights arbiterally.
5. Humiliation and intimidation.
All has documentary proof.
