If people could get paid for every time a coworker made an unfavorable comparison about them, the USA would collapse. Many work environments I’ve been in have been very toxic, with reports actually yielding more abuse or consequences (cut hours, unreasonable expectations going forward, etc). While the UK libel laws go a little far, we could definitely use that kind of culture of responsibility in the USA.
