My dream job asked me to come in in less than 24 hours for a face-to-face interview. When I approached my supervisor for the two-and-a-half-hours off, she asked if it was a doctors appointment. I said "No, it is something personal.".



My supervisor then goes to another employee, "Jennifer", and says I wouldn't be in the next day because I "have a job interview.". Jennifer and I are both looking for work and have never given each other details, other than we both want out. Our boss says "I know she is looking for other work." To which Jennifer said, "How do you know?".



My boss then verbally attacks me, nearly yelling that I promised I'd be there for one year, that Jennifer told her I had a job interview, and why would Jennifer lie. I said I wasn't sure why Jennifer would say that, that I am not looking for work, and that what I do in my personal time is not up for discussion at my job.



I still need this job, but I do not think what my supervisor did was professional or even morally okay. She went to another employee to try and find out why I wouldn't be at work, and then lied to get information out of both of us. That can't be okay, can it? How do I proceed?
