[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago, I messed up badly at a job. I was young and dumb, and I made mistakes. The employer turned out to be a really vengeful person. She blasted what I did all over the internet and actually wrote a blog post about it. She also included screenshots of some text messages that we exchanged. My name is distinctive and that website is the first result in any google search about me. I have no proof, but I think it is costing me jobs.

What can I do? I have thought about suing her for defamation, but she has proof of everything she says. She also has a lot more money than me and hates me enough to fight it out in court. She refuses to take the website down. [/quote]

Previous advice to create a site about her is spot on.  You need negotiating leverage and that site is it.

People love a comeback story and they'll love your site.

If you don't write persuasively, hire someone on a task website to ghost write for you.

You want people reading your website to have the same reaction that just about everyone on this thread did: the old boss is off her rocker and has gone too far.

You can choose different narratives: the web site can be in the third person (never mind that most people will assume it's you).  Or it can be you "telling your story". If the former, you can use a service that will register and maintain the web site anonymously, so she'll never know it's you.  This will give you big leverage if she wants it taken down - she may think you have $$ money backing you from one of her other enemies.  Let her own paranoia work to your advantage here.  If the latter, just tell your story -it sounds persuasive and at least people doing the google search will get both sides.  [/quote]
