If a supervisor does this, can you sue them personally? The slight punishment given to them by the company is unsatisfactory to me, for what I've had to go through

I want to thank all of you for your answers, they are all good, I don't think I will be able to choose one! I have contacted several attorney referral sites. Waiting to hear back. If anyone's interested I'll keep you posted on what's happening.

I think you can sue almost anyone for anything, but is that what you want to do? You feel the company didnt punish the guilty party, then take you case to an attorney, who can tell you in a few minutes if you have a case or not. Good luck!

"A" supervisor indicated that this wasn't your direct supervisor. Go to your supervisor and outline in gorry detail all the problems you're having. Include the names of the co-workers who have harrased you - which is essentially what this is.
I recommend you take notes and keep a written record of your supervisors reaction. Then ask them specifically how the company intends for you to contribute to the success of the company. Put the monkey on their back since this is a situation they created.
As for the lawsuit, the pain you're going thru now is nothing compared to dragging everyone to court...

Not knowing the nature of the information or to what extent it affected you that it was divulged makes it hard to answer your question. You can however discuss this with your local or state labor board. Assuming that this was a rather serious issue I feel certain that you will have recourse against the individual and the company.

Depending on the information that was released to others, it could be a clear violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. If that is the case, which means personal information was shared, you certainly would have a reason to take action.

consult with a attorney. some will consult with you for unfastened and then make it easier to know in case you have a case. bear in strategies this. if the attorney needs paid to circulate after the business enterprise then he would not think of you have lots of a case or it would be extremely no longer trouble-free to tutor in courtroom. If he provides to artwork on value then he thinks he has a winner.

I would go after the company and the individual in separate courts.

Refer to your code of ethics for your business, get a reliable information and afterwards report this to the highest level of management.
