Hi,
I have had two situations on separate jobs where someone at the workplace allegedly told the boss on me. The first occasion it was for a very petty reason related to my educational background and the second time it was much more serious and could have been potentially life-altering. Luckily, I have better work-environments now.
However, both times I was pretty confused about what was going on and really didn't have any context at all as to what happened. Therefore, I naturally asked my bosses at the time where are you getting this information or who told you this? They claimed anonymity and refused to give any details on where the accusations came from.
It always put me in a weird situation because I know I never did what I was accused of but there was never a way for me to disprove it because all context was kept away from me. So, I've come to ask is there any law or workplace requirement that keeps bosses from letting you know who accussed you of doing something?
