During my lawyer search for my claim, the majority of interested parties suggested against going with the EEOC/Federal court route, and stated just filing a claim through State court (without dealing with EEOC) would be best regarding a possible disability discrimination/retaliation claim. The reason was because the EEOC/Federal route is way too slow, and the chances of winning are better when going through State court. What are any of your views on this approach? Since it was the one I heard most when doing my search, it's the route I went with. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1227&page=3#post-11748 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:37:12 +0000 mountainbiker 11748@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>ML<br /> Thanks for the reply.<br /> Sorry you went thru similar situation.Thats how I feel too.They make you go crazy and sometimes I feel anxious. But I am strong person and I am ready to deal with this. You are also a strong person since you put up with all that and succeeded in defeating them.</p> <p>Yes I am well aware of his game and I am dealing with it like a pro. I know exactly what he is doing behind my back with my female co-workers. When someone who was good friend for nearly 3 years turned against me, I know something is not right.I am gonna see how it goes for a while and then slap him with a letter. Right now I am playing along with his game and still continue to act like a normal person with my peers. Even today when they played again trick on me I hit back in email using words like "please, thanks" etc like I normally do. </p> <p>LL<br /> Oh yeah.I am documenting every single thing via email, personal diary, etc.Other day I wrote an entry stating that I am starting to feel that he is making my life miserable due to coworker's actions.</p> <p>I think he must have directed my peers to treat me this way and threatened them with their jobs. Or he may have gave them some sweeteners like a nice raise for this year, or a bonus that can go up to 15% of 6 months pay, etc. The bonus is a complete scam at this place since my boss has to "nominate" a person and he plays that to get work-related favors from females.So far he has given that to 3 of my peers.Once I even overheard a co-worker boasting to a friend on phone that he has promised to give her the bonus next time.Sure enough. He did give it to her when the time came. So this item is included in my charge to EEOC.</p> <p>He is known for his "you do this for me and I will do this for you" management style. It is shocking how very good people are forced to act against their free will by this evil boss.All of a sudden my co-workers treat me like I am a kid telling me how to do my job, saying one thing and doing exactly the opposite, giving me the run around when I ask work related questions,etc. Basically preventing me from doing my work and then making me go crazy.</p> <p>A couple of my good friends at this place have told me that he may get canned for bringing this EEOC issue on the company because of his incompetence in managing people. SO its also possible that he personally feels threatened with his job and taking it out me since he can now.</p> <p>Since I am prepared I am able to deal with all this crap.But in a way I think all these<br /> adds more ammunition to my case against him. </p> <p>I will post an update soon.</p> <p>Thanks LL.</p> <p>MB </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1314#post-11747 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:27:18 +0000 sleeplessCOP 11747@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Welcome to the Forum, cmullen - indeed look for an attorney that has some knowledge and you get the feeling they will fight for you like Lulu has found - let us know through a private PM your area of reidence and we can try to assist you - </p> <p>... as member of national Fraternal Order of Police - (FOP) can try to make some contacts - and we have Forum members all around the country ....</p> <p>hang in there and keep us posted .... </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1313#post-11746 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:17:19 +0000 sleeplessCOP 11746@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Welcome bubba' and thanks for visiting the Forum -</p> <p>OYSide sounds right-on as usual...

The big boss I referred to is my District supervisor. I was operational of the year last year in my position. Currently have taken a little more of a planning role for a pilot planning schedule program for managers in my position for the Region. I also did not mention this but earlier in this year I did receive a developmental plan and my other peer asst manager of merch did not get one. She told me last month she never did get a developmental plan and I did, I feel like I am against a wall and not sure what to do, I do not think the district office is going to do anything about my complaint. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1312#post-11743 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:40:18 +0000 OnYourSide 11743@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>By the way, you might want to check your state laws on whether it's legal to record the boss. Even if your husband can't use it for any legal purpose, it might be useful just for the boss to "hear" himself. He may not realize what he sounds like. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1315#post-11742 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:36:49 +0000 OnYourSide 11742@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>When you say this supervisor who practically hired you on the spot told you "she would have to check with my last employer" - do you mean check with your CURRENT employer? The HR department where you're currently employed? If that's the case, that could explain it - they could be confused about why they're getting called for a reference check on a still-active employee. </p> <p>If this is a FORMER employer, I would suggest that you call the HR Manager directly and have a polite heart-to-heart with him/her. Explain that you've had a few "almost job offers" that have fallen through because of the slow or no response on the part of the former employer's HR staff to reference checks on you, and you'd like to find out what you can do to ensure that future reference checks are handled expeditiously so that you don't lose out on any more job opportunities. If the HR Manager has ANY brains at all, s/he will read between the lines that you're really saying they'd better step up the response time on the reference checks or they're going to have some 'splaining to do in court. (Yes - you can sue them for causing you to lose out on a legitimate job offer. Whether you'd win or not is another matter) </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1315#post-11741 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:11:03 +0000 cmullen2059 11741@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Hi everyone<br /> I have been on my job for 5 yrs. Kept trying to move and over a bad boss, and couldn’t So I tried looking for jobs outside the company, had some really good jobs and potential pay. Howeverrrrrrrr...... I didnt get them, after I spoke in length with one of the supervisors she practically hired me on the spot then told me she would have to check with my last employer. (I shrank in my seat) I am 50 excellent worker reliable and trustworthy some (ER's) just dont like you for whatever reason, and it can ruin your life, stress you out. Of course, I did not get the job, so I hired a legitimate reference company to call and find out what information they give. After 1 week of they received no response back from H.R. another 4 days go by, no response back, so I called the Reference co. had them on hold forwarded it to my immediate supervisor which she did not give any info, then she transferred it to H.R. No extra info just basics.<br /> But the point is they may not say anything bad or unlawful, they just dont respond. I called back the supervisor I was interviewing with and she told me that after the 2 phone call to H.R. or if they really want you to work there its 3 calls after that no response is considered a negative remark against you.<br /> that to me is just as bad not answering at all.</p> <p>:( </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1306#post-11740 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:07:44 +0000 OnYourSide 11740@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Senchi,<br /> If it were me, I'd just fill in bogus info on the log to make me look good to the boss. (heeheehee) </p> <p>Yeah, the EEOC process is not "easy" - it's time consuming, but otherwise they'd be innundated with claims. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1314#post-11739 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:02:35 +0000 OnYourSide 11739@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Hi, cmullen2059 -<br /> Your lawyer is full of crap.

I'd say you likely have more protection under the ADA because of your son's disability. Your employer is obviously discriminating against you because of your "association" with someone with a disability, and that's clearly illegal. You should consider filing a claim of discrimination with the EEOC (you must do that before you can file suit). Be prepared with examples of instances of how and when you can tie your boss' behavior to your son's disability. By filing a claim with the EEOC, you'll have some measure of job protection and protection against retaliation.</p> <p>You can report your company to the SEC, but you won't have any job protection. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1312#post-11737 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:52:18 +0000 msliberated 11737@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Sure thing tamaanna!:) That's what where here for to support each other.What nationality is the witch?

I have been with the company for 5 yrs with great references. I had bilateral carpal tunnel, due to typing 8 hrs a day sitting in a call center, with only short breaks and lunch, over 375 phone calls a day divided between 4 people and 30 seconds to wrap up before receiving another, I was in so much pain, stress, my doctor took me off for 30 days FMLA, during which I found out I had carpal sever tunnel shoulder, and neck pain that lead to migraines. ( I know I’m typing now) After I returned I work 4 hours a day. My boss (and her immediate clan) dumped more work, with heavier responsibilities and repercussions if I made a mistake, wrote me up for extensive absentees, gave me a poor evaluation performance, based on false records which I have the correct ones, So I did some work and found out I had 5 absentees during the whole year even w/ w.c. injury, and I had access to records of other peoples absentees I collected the data and found that people she associated with had from 7 to 13 absentees and never been written up. I have those figures for my lawyer. + Many more retaliatory actions and harassments, which I have excellent records.<br /> After my w.c. settlement QME doctor and my dr. said I was not to return to the same type of work. Now they cant (wont) accommodate me, &#38; my edd is based on the 4 hours a day, my credit is shot, we almost lost our home 2 months late going on 3 before they let me pull out my 401K. It will take a long time to regain back my credit, and with this market find a job. I am writing because my attorney wants a quick settlement, and doesn't think I'll get damages or penalties she said the law is NOT on the employees side anymore. Basically telling me I don’t have a strong enough case. I believe I do<br /> Can someone advise me on how non accommodation (not fired) harassment &#38; retaliations, are being handled these days in the courts. .

Every manager at that time told me that the CIO had a back door relationship with a vendor. I have recently found his resume on-line and it lists his degree from Buxton University (a diploma mill). Since he is in change of Sarbanes Oxley and were a PCI level 1 merchant (were take in 30 million credit card transactions a year). I think that this is a big deal and if this comes to light will shed light on the lie he told the bod about me which then cause my career to implode.

The bad news is there is no law against bulleying in the workplace YET. But, if the boss is doing the harassment for a reason other than he/she is just nothing but an ASS****/BITCH and is doing it to everyone then you and your husband will have to toughen it until you can find a better job in this crappy economy. I'm sorry you have to go through this bullcrap but there are a lot of us here thet are going through the same thing even worst. You mention in your other post that you are almost done in your school which is a good thing. Hang in there. Have you purchase Curt's book on Bad Boss Folio Workplace Laws Exposed....it teaches you how to fight these toxic co-workers and bulley bosses.

My husband has an excellent review in terms of his performance (we have waited for his last review before retaliating) . His boss is very bully. Now he started to retaliate her bullying habit. She(boss) in return has become more hostile. My husband complained to CEO about this. But this CEO has no spines to stand up against the unjust. (CEO is very good friend of my husbands boss). He is like take it and sallow it. This lady has ruined our mental health.<br /> Please guide what will the best option to proceed ahead. Is it worth to sue to my husbands boss or just go ahead and start searching some other opportunity.</p> <p>P.S -- His group has very high attrition rate. Further 2 employees has sued her in past and 4 of them complained to HR in a period of 2.5 yrs. HR is expert on helping his boss to throw the employee out by giving warning form time to time. Both his boss and HR starts documenting false things and asks other colleagues to lie, so that they can justify that the employee is not productive &#38; poor performer. We are very well aware of her habit and steps that she follows if any one asks for justice. Also all the employee in his group are made to work about 11-12 hrs a day without any overtime. </p> <p>I would really appreciate any input </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1311#post-11727 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:01:48 +0000 grsola 11727@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Reading through this forum, it’s sad to see so many others having experienced similar as I. I worked in an environment where they try to claim they treat everyone as equals and as family with honesty and respect. Clearly not the case. Though it was known manager had a problem with taking things very personal and becoming defensive, which still surprises me the idiot told me this himself, I had to go because as much as they tried to stop his reaction to me, they couldn’t. All of the endless badgering and bullying eventually transferred to others. I knew my manager could not fire me on his own, as he had lost the right to terminate or reprimand anyone after I reported him to HR, and he needed VP approval. He started having his petty nonsense documented by my team leader, though team leader would tell me he didn’t have a problem with the issues he was told to document. After all of the constant over the shoulder looking I had to do, regardless that even bully manager admitted I was hardest working in my department, as displayed by stats and customer feedback, I was pushed to the point in which I had heart problems. I woke up on two separate days over a three week period with my heart beating through my chest, or palpitating for hours at a time. The first was so bad I scrawled out a will! This is why I went in for doctor appointment, and that’s when I was diagnosed with hypertension and required to prepare for a number of other tests to rule out actual physical problems, since I was sure problems were anxiety related. When I reported that to my team leader, I asked him to go to HR to set up a meeting to discuss the diagnosis and situation. He was gone for hours, but on return he sent an email stating “at your request, a meeting is being scheduled with HR”. When I was called to meeting, the axe fell immediately. So that’s how they treat “family”? I’m so looking forward to the court case. They can play as dirty as they want, because the bulk of what they have is a bunch of exaggerated and false nonsense from problem manager, much of which I rebutted in the reprimands, or with emails sent to HR and bully bosses boss. I documented everything from my first months there to the final day, with copies of performance reviews, reprimands and rebuttals, positive customer feedback, and tons of relevant email. I knew I was in for a bumpy ride when a few months into my employment, bully boss spent an hour talking to me about his heavy Christianity, and trying to “convert” me to his way of thinking. While I told him I respected his beliefs, I didn’t share them. All that did was enrage and encourage him to continue. We had such a bad relationship, and it was very personal. I always told him I would prefer a professional relationship, but he had this insecure need for me to be his friend. Those who played that game with him were rewarded, while my desire to keep personal and professional separate always caused a problem. Not only did the situation encourage my health issues, (and I’ve not had one of those mini heartattacks since I was terminated a couple of months ago), they dumped me when I reported the health issues. I hope by the end of all of this, they will be very embarrassed by their actions. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1051#post-11726 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:50:01 +0000 littlelulu 11726@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>I don't believe you HAD to tell her about the depression. The fact you were diagnosed with depression puts you into a protected class and the fact you were off work for 2 months on medical leave SHOWS you have a medical condition.

I have a feeling that HE has told your co-workers that YOU are doing unethical things that could get THEM fired so they have turned on you. Either that, or he HAS directed them to treat you this way or be fired. Whichever the case may be, he IS retaliating against you for filing the EEOC complaint which is SO TOTALLY ILLEGAL. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1051#post-11724 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:10:56 +0000 HardHead 11724@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>After 2 months of medical leave, I came back with a rebuttal letter and 1-inch thick of supporting document. She didn’t address any of the items I’ve brought up in the rebuttal, instead, she responded with events that had happened before her time and twisted every achievement I have done into negatives. Worse yet, she got a promotion. Since she was the one who initiated the improvement plan, my new manager can only follow orders.</p> <p>After I returned to work, the evil B* gave me due date for every task and meet every week to discuss progress. I had the illusion that if I put in 200%, I maybe able to save the job. The illusion was broken yesterday. When an issue came up, my manager came to my defense, the evil B* however twisted what I said and emailed her negative conclusion to the HR. I realized she just wanted me to finish the tasks because she has no one who can do them better than me and then fire me after she’s got them.</p> <p>I don’t want her to get away with this. What can I do? I understand what she’s been doing to me is not discrimination according to the law. She put me thru hell and caused my depression to worsen and hence the medical leave. She couldn’t leave me alone and called many times to ask when I’d be back and what’s my illness. I didn’t tell her about the depression and therefore I can’t file for disability discrimination. Is there anything I can do? I think she doesn’t even want me to have unemployment benefits, based on the language she used in the weekly progress report to the HR.</p> <p>Your advice is greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1227&page=3#post-11723 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:00:01 +0000 msliberated 11723@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>MB, that's okay, right now he's doing all he can to trap you into messeng up. But because you are aware of what he is up to, you can go thru' this like a pro. MB, these eggheads who comply to his evil whims are going to get the message. Just play along the game. This may sound crazy to you but when I had to succumb to similar web of crap from my boss; every bulleying tactics maneuvered by him from different directions, I mean from others in the place where I work even the ones outside of my department,will drive you crazy. I had days that I could not get myself to get up and get ready for work. I started having anxiety attacks. He had co-workers literally paged me and do other duties outside of my job descriptions and set me up to fail or appear as if I am not a team player. He called me once and chewed my ass infront of someone who use to be my co-dept. head who is just like him a bulley and an a BI***. He used this woman to make my life miserable for awhile. Well, he FAILED!!!! THEY BOTH FAILED.<br /> Play along with his game, then slap him with a letter notifying him that these are not things that will not go un-noticed, and that it will be reported to EEOC as blatant retaliation tactics coming from him that YOU are well aware of.<br /> The co-workers, well they will also get the message by your treating them just as nice as you have been. If they know they are being used by your boss to intimidate you, unless they have something against you.....it will eventually stop. Then you can build rapport with them and let them know bits and pieces of what your evil boss is up to. You might just find someone who despise him also. I did it!...not one but several:):):):):)on my side now. And the bulley co-workers that he used----- had stopped completely. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1227&page=3#post-11722 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:03:53 +0000 mountainbiker 11722@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>LL, ML<br /> An update on my case.<br /> I mailed in my formal charge this week to EEOC. Since they had left out many items, to be sure I included a letter saying that these are some additional points that I want to include in the formal charge. Basically listed all the main items in bullet items. I also signed for mediation.</p> <p>Meanwhile my boss has been making my work difficult everyday. He is forcing all the female co-workers give me a hard time in doing my work.For eg. - he said one of them is the responsible for adding things in the project. When I send that coworker my items to add, she asks he to send it to another person. Similarly another coworker used to very friendly with me before.Now the lady has turned against me and is making me do things her way as opposed to my own way. All these are in equal position as me and I suspect my boss is forcing them deliberately to give me hard time. </p> <p>When I complained to him and asked to send an email clearly detailing who will do what in the project, he says that it is not needed. You are professionals you can take of these among yourselves.He plays this game with me and then acts like he is God and I am kid.I am also kinda afraid that he is setting me up this way to do some other evil thing.</p> <p>I have already filed a retaliation complaint with EEOC and the lady in the interview asked me about that.Now instead of direct retaliation the guy is forcing my peers to make my life miserable.</p> <p>Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this situation? I am already documenting as much as I can via emails. It is so obvious that in the past week or so things have gotten so worse in doing my job. Weird things seem to happen for no reason like the coworkers are telling me how to do my job, etc.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.<br /> MB </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1306#post-11721 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:51:21 +0000 Senchi 11721@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Hello everybody ♫<br /> Another crappy day at work...When my supervisor wanted to get his first TARGET out he came up with this LOG LIST for everybody to write all we do each day. Then he fixed the numbers and have his target look like the poorest performer. The very fist day she was out we stopped using the LOG.<br /> Well, he called us today ans announced the LOG LIST again :) :) I laughed ...smiled...and smiled while he was talking about it..."AGAIN?!", I just said. It is his way to "show" that my performance is not good. hm..can these abusers ever be stopped?</p> <p>Called EEOC-got some info but it doesn't look as an easy process. I am very discouraged..I should probably just find a job and let him continue until he fires the owners and stay by himself :) </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1304#post-11720 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:36:11 +0000 littlelulu 11720@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Thats a great letter of recommendation AND it will prevent doc from retaliating against you in the future. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1311#post-11719 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:32:49 +0000 littlelulu 11719@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Welcome to the forum Grsola. Sounds like you have an EXCELLENT case against your former employer, just too bad you had to go through all that stress and grief. And I'm sure glad you were able to receive your rightful unemployment benefits. My ex-sup disliked me so much that she fabricated lies against me. It took her over two years to make up enough lies to terminate me for misconduct. And that is preventing me from getting my UC benefits........ </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1304#post-11718 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:15:17 +0000 msliberated 11718@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>So far everything is going in your favor druddock so, just keep it up no need to exert yourself. Just go with the flow. With that letter of recommendation you will have no problem getting another job. Take your time.......I mean realy take your time,he-he-he**** </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1304#post-11717 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:51:40 +0000 OnYourSide 11717@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>Did he include that your job has been eliminated? That's key for you, so you can use the letter for Unemployment, too, in case it comes to that. </p> <p>Who says you should talk to the doctor and office manager and why? Are you really trying to keep your job? Do you think the office manager is going to change if you talk to them? I doubt it. </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1304#post-11716 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:11:15 +0000 druddock 11716@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>I got my letter of recomendation boy what a good one I got too. Doc went on and on how great an employee I was and how I consistently contribute to the growth of practice, gets along great with staff and paitents, and he would highly recomend me for a position in my feild. Now my next move in this game of chess! I was told that I should send Doc and office mngr/bitch an e-mail asking if they would consider sitting down to discuss the issues that they have with me, was told it would show I was trying to make an effort to keep my job, does this make any sense??? Also fellow employee who is witness to unfair treatment said she would testify against office mngr. What should my next move be sit back and keep my head down and do my job and get more ammunition for the fight or ask for severance and ask to be laid off timing is key I think? thanks for all the support! </p> http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/topic.php?id=1306#post-11715 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:45:46 +0000 OnYourSide 11715@http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/forum/ <p>No, "evil" isn't considered a protected religion, but "devil worship" COULD be. The behavior your describe (child molestation, etc.) wouldn't be protected if it's illegal. Illegal is still illegal, whether it's religious or not. A religion doesn't have to have an 'ethical and a moral code' to be a protected religion. </p>
