I live in California, and my former employer is telling people that I was fired, when in fact I resigned. Is that considered defamation?

I recently resigned from my position as Director with my former employer due to a toxic work environment caused by my direct supervisor a VP. Because of the toxic environment and feeling like I had no choice but to leave, I asked for severance and got it. However, I have proof in writing that they know I resigned.
I recently learned that high level execs in the company are telling people that I was terminated, not that I quit. Do I have a case for defamation?
