My old employer is using her business social media and personal social media to try to ruin someone's reputation and ability to get any other employment. She has disclosed very personal information such as the mental health of the former employee and has also disclosed information surrounding other employees' dismissals as well. What legal action can they take? I was also forced to quit because the boss and managers made it a toxic environment.

This former employee can commence a defamation claim against the former employer. If you quit due to a toxic work environment, you may be entitled to severance pay as you can allege that you were constructively dismissed. To determine how much severance pay you may be owed, please visit the Free Severance Calculator (http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/).
