With erratic readings and a recent fuel leak I’m gonna land even if I just fueled. Sounds like the following day OP was justified.
Ironically I just had my EIS crap out on me mid flight a few nights ago. Somehow I gained about 500lbs in flight. Went from 1450 something to 1988. Plane was grounded the minute I touched down per our MX dept.

Nothing wrong with a return to origin airport to be sure, but not continuing with a valid MEL is a little harder to explain. Definitely not an "experiment" as he suggested. MEL programs exist and are FAA approved for a reason.

It is a minor event in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't worry too much about them being able to affect you in the future. If they are leaving former employees bad references than the recruiters at other companies will know about it.
My advice is to ignore their shennannigans and move on.
A lot of times when someone writes some crap like that, they are trying to bait you into responding/ doing something bad.

Some very good points posted here. You did the right thing.
I think your manager was trying to do his job in the best way he could. He is somewhat under the gun.
I had a different but sobering situation many years ago. I applied to a twin Beech operator for a job a s a D-18 captain having some 300 hours in one. Right away I took a dislike to the owner/chief pilot. He was cocky and bragged about going out over gross. I told him that twin Beech at gross is a handful; over gross is just stupid. That sorta ended the interview.
Three week later that same operator plowed into a home killing 5 people when it appeared they lost an engine right after T/O.
Just something to think about as you are building your career.
