What are the steps to take to file law suit against a harrassing boss who also retaliates? 0 success w/mtg?

Question

I have a boss who dislikes me. She sends nasty emails to me. Harrassed me at home via email while out sick saying that I sure played my sickness of well at the office even though I had a doctors note. In one meeting she finally had with me she told me that I better not contact HR anymore (HR Mgr breached my trust when I contacted her for advice) and my mgr also mentioned that she knows about my answers to the supposed private, mandatory surveys we are required to fill out. Also lied and stated that 75% of our group has a problem with me which is not true. Boss is in tight with HR Mgr so I'm going to the Global HR Mgr but also getting ill dealing with the daily harrassment and need to come up with a quick resolution. Suggested meeting with her several times and she did respond but when she finally met with me which did not go well at all. I didn't argue but took note. When I mentioned I felt harrassed she demanded that I never use that word again in her dept. Any advice?

I don't feel like the harrassment is based on gender or race. I feel it is based on the manipulations of another co-worker as this mgr is a new one. The old one was fired due to poor mgmt. The dept is quite messy and pushing to gain points at attempts to discredit the better worker, myself. The first area I found a prob was when I requested for a day off for a religious convention. I was denied unless I could find someone to "cover my shift" and she didn't want more than 2 people off. The following week she allowed 3 people to be off. Secondly when I brought it to her attn that my assigned assistant wasn't following up with her assigned duties I was told that I remind her of her 5 year old child by tattle telling. Next I was given additional duties whereas others are allowed to surf the internet and do close to nothing job-wise. When I asked for training for the new responsibilities, I was told to get with my peers whom she has used as her net to make derogatory comments vs me.

The most recent harrassment was via email when I was told by my mgr that even though she does not have a written dress code, she does not allow warm up suits, etc. 2 other people in the dept were wearing the same but did not rcv this email. In addition there was a small altercation with a co-worker via email in which she attempted to twist the subject matter of work (a phone call to a client that I hadn't been able to return as quickly as the co-worker wanted me to) The co-worker posted a negative comment on the account indicating that I didnt follow through but that the situation was handled. I told her via email that her comments were ridiculous and that the work relationship between the 2 combined locations was unhealthy & that it prob be good if it were consolidated to one. Her comment was that I threatened her and she took it to my mgr who emailed me to recap the events and of course copied her HR buddy on this req. I haven't heard anything back because it wasnt justified

I cannot change jobs at this time because I am in the process of purchasing a home and the job market in Georgia is not fruitful at this time.

Answer 1

THIS IS A TRUE HARASSMENT CASE
1. COLLECT E MAILS AT HOME
2. COLLECT E MAILS AT WORK
3. GET OTHER EMPLOYEES TO VERIFY ACTIONS-BOSS HAS HAD WITH THEM-CLASS ACTION SUIT
4. HR LETTER AND COMPLAINT AND RESOLVE IF ANY
5. RETALIATION IS NOT AN OPTION A BOSS SHOULD USE OR CAN USE LEGALLY
6. UNDER NEW FEDERAL LAWS A DOCORS EXCUSE FOR AILMENT IS NOT NEEDED JUST THAT YOU WENT TO SAID DOCTOR-VIOLATES MEDICAL LIABILITY ACT-EMPLOYER DOES NOT HAVE RIGHT TO KNOW WHY YOU WENT TO DOCTOR-CONFIDENTIAL DOCTOR CLIENT LIKE PRIEST AND CLIENT
7. FILE WITH NEXT STEP PERSON AND ALSO WITH EEOC IN YOUR TOWN SAME COMPLAINT
8. IF FOUND GUILTY YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SUE COMPANY FOR ALLOWING HER TO OPERATE AS A BOSS AND CAUSE--HARASSMENT, ALLEGATIONS UNFOUNDED,RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, HOSTILE WORKING ENVIORNMENT ETC--YOU HAVE 180 DAYS TO FILE FROM DATE OF ALLEGATION TO EEOC DO NOT LOSE YOUR TIME FRAME--INFORMATION YOU GAVE ABOUT CO AND BOSS BY IN HOUSE SURVEY CANNOT BE SHARED BY HR PERSON-MATERIAL IS PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL-IF YOU HAD TO PUT YOUR NAME ON IT THEN REFUSE TO TAKE SURVEY-SENIOR HR WOULD BE GLAD TO GET THIS MATERIL I AM SURE-THIS IS NOT A GOOD HR MANAGEMENT TOOL TO ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY ON OTHERS BECAUSE YOU SAID WHAT YOU DID IN CONFIDENTIALLITY-THAT WAS THEN BROKEN BY HR WHOM YOU TRUSTED- --GOOD LUCK--EEOC WILL TAKE CASE TO COURT IF REAL ISSUES EXIST IF NOT GET ACLU TO DO A CASE WHEN EEOC RENDERS A DECISION IN YOUR FAVOR OR YOUR FAVORITE LAWYER FOR SETTLEMENT--THE COMPANY WILL TRY TO SETTLE OUT OF COURT OR DISCREDIT YOU THIS IS WHY IF OTHERS IN OFFICE STAND UP COMPANY WILL FIRE HER OR MOVE HER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION

Answer 2

My first thought is to suggest you change jobs.
If you really like your job or you've been there a long time, you would probably loose too much if you did change.
Document everything your boss tells you. Keep ALL of her e-mails. Keep a log of your missed days, and any times when you are late to work, or leave early.
Does your company have an appeals program if you have problems dealing with HR at the local level? If so, contact them. Get assurance from them in writing that are strictly confidential before you tell them anything you don't want to get back to your boss, or local HR people.
If all this doesn't work, contact a federal agency about Family Medical Leave of Absence. Ask for all the details of that program, and if you qualify. Your company has to go along with this since it is federal law.

If you haven't already sought psychiatric help, consider it. They will help you handle this. Also if you have to file a law suit against your boss and your employer, the psychiatric consultation will help your case.

Good luck!

Answer 3

He most definitely is a natural born citizen - he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in August 4, 1961. Hawaii became the 50th state of the USA in August 21, 1959. He was registered at the school in Indonesia using his step-father's surname and religion. But the actual school had children from many different faiths. Barry is short for Barack, it was just a nickname that his family gave to him. If you like conspiracy theories, here's another good one: "Curiously enough, there is no record of McCain's birth in the Panama Canal Zone Health Department's bound birth registers, which are publicly available at the National Archives in College Park. A search of the "Child Born Abroad" records of the U.S. consular service for August 1936 included many U.S. citizens born in the Canal Zone but did not turn up any mention of John McCain."

Answer 4

You haven't really said what the nature of the harrassment is. If your boss is harrassing you on the basis of gender, race, creed, etc., then you have options. If, on the other hand, she simply doesn't like you, then you are out of luck. Your boss is not required to treat you with respect. She isn't required to like you. Everything that you have mentioned goes on at every corporate setting in the country. It's a dog eat dog world. Find a new job, or find a way to get on your boss's good side....

Answer 5

If you have a designated EEO counselor, meet with him/her. If not, contact a labor attorney regarding actions against a hostile work environment. Your situation must meet certain established criteria.
