If the rumors were intentional, then yes, the rumor-spreading company could be sued by the one it was spreading rumors about. The success of the suing also depends on evidence and whether or not the company has a good lawyer though.

Can a company force three out of four employees to make home deliveries without any justifiable reason for not making the fourth one deliver?

No. A company can't 'force' any employee to do anything, since he is an employee, not a slave. The company and the employee participate in a mutually-accepted agreement: The company agrees to pay the employee money to show up regularly and to do what the company wants done. In return, the employee agrees to show up regularly and do what the company wants done. At any moment that the employee feels personally dissatisfied with the arrangement for any reason, the employee is always free to withdraw from it, and leave the company. The company can't force him to stay employed by them and do things he doesn't want to do.
