I finally had enough and reported him to HR for making sexually-degrading comments about me in the workplace, for making sexually inappropriate gestures (acting out doing sexually-violent things to me, like a real creep), for threatening and abusive behavior (that included assault; he stabbed me in the ribs with a blunt object at one point). Another co-worker even filed a complaint about this individual calling me the c-word and overhearing this abusive co-worker telling me to commit suicide. HR did nothing. I've recently been in contact with the EEOC (within time constraints). The investigator I spoke to told me that, because my co-worker was not in a position of power and because he didn't harass any of the OTHER women we work with, the things he said and did are not being considered discriminatory. She recommended I contact another agency, but that I "leave out the sexual things" so that they wouldn't refer me back to the EEOC. (Wtf kind of broken system is this?)<br /><br />...

During my time there, I filed not one-but two sexual harassment claims against one of my fellow employees. Inappropriate language ensued throughout our work relationship. The first time I filed a complaint, they made our team participate in a sexual harassment presentation. My co-worker who I filed complaints against, immediately after the presentation suggested "His desire for sexual harassment increased after the training". Literally, verbatim what he said. I was furious. I filed AGAIN and apparently HR "talked" to him but nothing was done. No suspension, nothing. The company downsized and let me go along with 7 other employees a month ago. Every female on my team was let go, and now only males work there. Guess who also kept their job? Yep. Mr. Sexual Harassment himself. Is there any legal retribution that I can do even though I'm no longer part of the company? Unfortunately, the day of my termination, they locked me out of my corporate email account- where all the conversations and documentation of the sexual harassment claims were kept. Is there any way to salvage those? I want to have a lawyer look over and see if I have a case. I would love any feedback Hennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642238556548058516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685903630161577363.post-37652287598149745582017-03-29T09:30:07.237-04:002017-03-29T09:30:07.237-04:00I'm not sure how to comment about a complaint ...I'm not sure how to comment about a complaint I have to HR for a issue with my Manager. I am under DR. care for an illness (my job has a copy of the DR's letter) I thought I could handle working just a few hours a day until I get well and get my strength back. I went to work and got deathly sick after 3 hours of working. I went to the Manager and told him I needed to leave. His comment was "You need to get this fixed!" I explained I had been to the DR 2 times in the past 7 days but was trying to be noble and come to work to help out. He then replied "If you have to leave then just leave!" I said Thank You Sir and clocked out. No other comments were made and he did not even acknowledge me when I was leaving. I felt so belittled and let down because they expect a person to work when sick! How do I approach HR because today I am filing a complaint again my manager just for his comments and attitude when I asked to leave.

Even though I went with written documentation of the incidences. Also said that other workers have not come to HR to make a complaint however they have complained to our union which I got him to admit in the meeting. They say an investigation will occur but until then all they can do is tell her she needs to stop and if she then does it again she will be disiplined. Meanwhile they are thinking of moving me to a new area when she has been involved in many confrontations, many people have complained to our union about her, and no body but her has a problem with me.

I was just told yesterday no more cell phones allowed on my person. I have an infant and a teen daughter. I need to be reachable in the event of an emergency. There was no notice and everyone else is on their phones (4 employees total) I am now suddenly not allowed to put one earbud in while doing normal mundane tasks. Again, everyone else can. I am dyslexic and my boss just found out. I am literally seeing my supervisor randomly implementing sudden (minute by minute literally) protocol changes that are inhibiting my performance. Isn;t my work supposed to have a working phone line for the purpose of contacting employees in an emergency?? All of this JUST started... I really feel I am being treated in a way to make me miserable (working) and stressed out so that I leave rather than them letting me go despite my good work ethic and performance, since learning of my disability. Intentionally making it harder for me to input data quickly is the total opposite of helping (I literally just need a note pad&pen to write down the numbers so I do not mix them up and they took that away!)

An employee purposely hit me with a cart and when I asked him to say excuse me he called me a bitch and began screaming. I immediately found my manager on duty at the time and reported the problem he then informed me he would talk to the employee. 10 minutes late the employee reentered the work space and began knocking over employee property at that time I put my head down and just worked the remainder of my shift. Before I was about to go home this same employee began shouting cursing and pushed a table on me I again notified my manager who decided to have us both in the office during what he called a meeting. My manager began saying that we could both be fired for harassment if this didnt stop. I explained to him that I felt threatened and would like to take this matter up with HR he swiftly denied my request. Soon after leaving the office this same employee physically bumped me. Again I told my manager who then suspended me under no specific terms. The next few days I called my hr department who said they would get back to me and never did. TWo days from the incident my manager calls to say I am terminated for misconduct because the other employee claimed I threatened him. HOw can this be when I expressed that my workplace became hostile on two separate occasions?

On each occassion, I found HR hostile. They did not support me as an employee but the manager who performed the illegal behaviour. In the first instance, I was told that I could then not obtain a reference from the manager concerned, as I had approached HR about their behaviour. This harmed my future employment, making it difficult to secure another position (I was a Consultant at the time). The second time, was in a full time job with a top company. HR's reaction was to send me home, send the manager home and then let him back and then not let me back and call me a liar. I have not been able to secure work since and it has been a year and a half. I acted out of doing the right thing as someone who cares about their colleagues - I wanted to make HR realise that they had someone behaving inappropriately at work, and I wanted them to understand that they had a risk in their environment. It's really damaged my career, my life. I recommend that you DO NOT under any cirucumstances make a complaint, rather resign and get the hell out of there. Trust me, you never want this on your HR record. You will be viewed as a trouble maker, no matter what. Of course, if you want to pay legal fees by getting a legal representative, by all means go for it, but make sure you have a reference, and whatever, never accept to keep the situation confidential because what that means is when you go for a job, you can't talk about why you left the company. Leaving a job makes you look like a job hopper. Then if the person who you reported to is still in the company after you resigned and was your direct manager, they are going to HATE YOU and never give you a good reference and slander you as much as possible. I recently found out that there had been more complains from my previous work place about this person, he has been forced out. I found out that HR was still giving out his email address for referencing for me -- despite his having left the company. I couldn't help it that the HR director had been friends with the manager who asked me for sex in my performance review for 16 years. They never support someone doing this, so don't do it. My career is ruined from doing the right thing, just RESIGN and get the hell out of there.

He was and still is fearful of her because she is a woman and she takes full advantage of it to use him against me. She has pushed her work load off on me and has manipulated him as well as other coworkers who want to avoid trouble, to alienate me. My entire work experience has been greatly affected. She has been married for 25 years and eventually made some minor advances toward me to which I did not respond. My reward for not responding was to be called gay relentlessly. She meddled in my career and reminded my superiors about my job description when they gave me duties that were above and beyond my job description because they felt I was capable. The affect was to paint me as a complainer. I finally distanced myself from her so she began the campaign to convince my coworkers to alienate me which lasted until she finally filed a false grievance against me for harassment which was the epitome of irony. Initially my superiors saw through it all and privately suggested that I go to HR to defend myself and file my own grievance. They told me that she would most likely lose her job which I did not want to happen. I just wanted peace. Three or four days later management acted as if I was nothing but a nuisance and told me I should drop the whole thing and then I was written up with false accusations of insubordination by my supervisor who at this point was completely under her control. They had completely changed their stance most likely due to pressure from the very top to bury the whole issue. Fortunately I am still employed as I look for employment elsewhere. It is obvious that any investigation failed to produce any proof of her accusation because she was in fact never harassed; however, I have been continually scrutinized and subjected to subtle mental abuses by my gutless robot supervisor and I continue to be excluded from gatherings for lunch or other informal activities. One on one everyone seems fine with me and always has been but when in a group setting if she is involved then the function is secretive. She has put the whole group in a difficult position, and I have taken every precaution to avoid the possibility of any casual encounter with her as instructed by HR. Management has addressed my distant behavior in my recent evaluation by giving me substandard marks for teamwork when I have in fact been a stellar employee. They stated that I should encourage conversation and laughter among all of my coworkers. Any thoughts? Should I seek recourse at HR to clear my record? I am constantly irritated by this issue. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685903630161577363.post-73534588135469179512016-02-09T12:35:37.974-05:002016-02-09T12:35:37.974-05:00Hi CJ.

After you tell HR go file with the EEOC ,, It is a Hostile Work Place.. Only if it is a drug free work place.

I work at an LTACH hospital. I am a seasoned CNA, Tele Tech. and Unit Secretary. I have recently encountered a fellow employee whom is a Resp. Tech. who has been hostile towards me, been threatening towards me and making antagonizing gestures when in the vicinity of me at work. I did go to my supervisor and then to HR and the DON and the Administrator with a witness and proof. They came back to me counseling me stating they had also counseled the employee i claimed harassed me. The second time this happened was the worst for me to deal with. I followed through the same procedure and this time I was told the investigation held no merit to my claim and they could do nothing. I refused to work with this person and asked if they could please schedule us apart. HR and the DON agreed. Several weeks later this person was working with my so I went to the supervisor on that particular shift and asked why he was working with me. She pulled up an email from the Assistant Administrator stating that we both had to work together professionally. If i hadn't gone to the supervisor and asked that shift i would have had no idea this was final. After all I've endured with this person, and the up and down stress of thinking i was safe from his harassment to finding out he was going to be working around me again, I am even more stressed and on edge at work feeling as if he will do this again. What now can i do? I don't want to quit, I've been with this place for 4 years now. I feel as if I can't go to my administrative staff if something else happens and over this change.
