well, it's only slander if the intent is malicious and it results in a damaged reputation.

I feel for those women. Anyone who has ever worked where one of the employees is screwing the boss--that's the WORST!

The claims have to be untrue for it to be slander, too. Don't they?

yes. truth is an absolute defense to claims of defamation.
