resign and look for a job that treats you well

I don't think they are allowed to fire you based on that because it would be discrimination.  That doesn't mean that they can't come up with some other stupid reason instead.  Just be careful and consult an attorney just in case.

She might have broken a law in saying something about your personal life on the job. Spend your week-end researching the laws in your state. I know that Federal law prohibits your boss from discriminating against a behavior or social "disorder". It sounds to me like she might be the one that needs to go! I think that you should go to the woman on your own and discuss w/her your feelings on the situation. It might help to carry a recorder in case she tries to threaten your job or something. Good luck!

in the uk you are covered by the "Disability Discrimination Act.I dont know about the states.But the date on the paper would cover you.seek legal advice as can't give full advice as only got snippets of your story.But as long as your employer was aware of the facts, he/she should be reasonable.

Well, descrimination is slightly different than being passed over for a promotion. Obviously you feel you performance warranted a promotion, so was there anything that you can identify as descriminatory. For example, are you some kind of minority: Woman, Hispanic, African American? It's very difficult to establish discrimination if you're a white male. \n\nFirst, I would advise that you find out how you've done on your recent performance reviews, many employers are obligated to tell you. Second, I would try to find other people within the company that feel the same way you do. Even if you can't find others, if you find that you've been doing well, with no reason for being passed over, then you can either file a complaint with the company's headquarter's  or simply threaten a lawsuit.

I work for an employment agency and it's illegal to discriminate against a pregnancy woman.  You did not have to tell them your condition, however if you do get the job, I would let them know, cause you are going to be showing soon.  Just be upfront with your supervisor, and say, I am having a baby and want to let you know when my due date is and that this will not interfere with my performance.  Let them know you will return immediately after you 6 week check up if there are no complications.  Also you may luck out with it being a doctors office, they may be more understanding.\n\nGood luck.

I would speak with HR.  It sounds like your supervisor is in need of some social training about respecting people.

Firstly, make sure that you are not losing a penny and that you are on full pay whilst suspended....if you are not then they are punishing you before they have concluded the investogation whist is unfair.\n\nAssuming you are on full pay, suspension is probably company procedure anyway especially when dealing with a 'people' complaint such as this - they can never be too careful.\n\nIf I were you, get hold of the Company policy on bullying/harassement (I'm not accusing you of anything but your colleague may class this as racial harassment, depsite what they have said to you) just so that you know what procedures your company are looking at. \n\nUK law-this would be an internal matter, and legal representation would not generally be allowed at this stage (unless you are a company director or could be damaging to your career - publically), you will be invited to an investigation meeting where you will be allowed representation from either a Trade Union Representative (if you are a member) or a fellow colleague. Make sure that you get everything in writing. On suspension, your employer should have given you a letter stating that you are suspended on full pay pending investigation and stating the exact allegations that have been made against you. At the investigation meeting, take someone with you, a fellow colleage or Trade Union rep, to take notes during the meeting. It will also keep your employer on their toes, especially if they know that you made a complaint a few days before. During the meeting, you will be given the opportunity to read any statements or letters/evidence that they have against you, and make sure you take copies - its your right. \n\nI would also question what they have done about your complaint that you made a few days before....why have they taken your colleagues complaint seriously and suspended you whilst appears to have ignored your complaint. Whether or not you consider your complaint to be unofficial, you employer HAS to take you seriously and should be treating your complaint in the same way as anyone else. If it appears that your complaint has been overlooked then you have every right to say that you have been discriminated against on the grounds of Race - this means that you have been adversley treated because of your race, in other words...because you are not Asian, your unofficial complaint has been ignored.\n\nOther than that, just make sure that your employer follows the correct procedure....there are very strict rules stating the procedure for investigation....and if it gets that far....discipline. Just make sure you are invited to a meeting where you are given at least 24 hours to prepare for, you are given the right to be accompanied, and you have the right to appeal against any decision. Also, although it sounds obvious, make sure that you are very clear on exactly what you are being accused of. Once the internal procedure has been exhausted, then you can go external and consider legal representation, but I really hope it doesnt get that far...

I think it is not wrong.  Your boss would have no problem complaining about your performance.  I think you should talk to your boss about your issues and document in a notebook the date/time/response of the conversation.  Sometimes the incompetent ones set u up to be fired!

Talk about reverse discrimination!  Whitie?  \n\nShame on you!  In your case, I would say if you don't get hired, it will not be an issue of color, gender, or anything like that.....it will be a lack of intelligence.\n\nStraighten yourself up, already!

I work in Human Resources and we had this problem about a month ago. I always say - We can't see everything that goes on at work so our employees are our eyes and ears.\n\nI say report this information to the boss because if your co-worker is not being reasonable across the board and she is showing favoritism towards this other person. Your boss needs to know. \nAlso, I would read up on your employee handbook, make sure your employer has something stating they have anti-retaliation guidelines, that way if you do report anybody it can't hurt your job.

There really isn't any "fair" discrimination.\n\nDo an internet search for "workplace discrimination" "labor laws discrimination" etc., and I'm sure you'll find all the articles you need.\n\nYou can modify your search to include specific terms that will narrow down the results, i.e. age, sexual, racial, etc.

It is happening because you are allowing it to happen. Not meaning to be insulting here, but I think that's the reason.\n\nTell your supervisor that this is happening, and tell them how it is adversely affecting your job performance, and therefore how they are perceived. Tell them that not only is this not fair to you, but it is costing the company business and/or money. They have a **RESPONSIBILITY** both to you and the business to make sure that things are done in the best possible way.\n\nIf things still do not change, and you feel that you are not being unreasonable (not saying you are), then it is time to start looking elsewhere. It is hard enough to do your own job well, let alone somebody else's as well.\n\nI wish you the best of luck!

Just contact the EEOC. they will file a law suit against the person. Report it to the boss in writing.

How about your own experiences with discrimination in the work place. Everyone experiences it. It doens't matter who they are.

I would arrange a "sit-down" with the supervisor to discuss your feelings and her "close supervision" of your work time.  Ask her why she has singled you out. Let her know that it is making you uncomfortable, and since other employees are aware of it, it is  coming awfully close to establishing a "hostile work environment", which is illegal, a form of sexual discrimination. Let her know that you have options (going to HR, filing a complaint with EEOC), which you don't want to utilize, but will if the situation does not change.\n\nLet her know that, beginning immediately, you will be keeping a log, recording any employment decisions, good and bad, time, date, person involved, witness, issues and reasons.

Wow, your boss sounds like something else.  The first question I would ask is who has complained and how often have complaints been officially brought to HR's attention?   Make sure that all of these issues have been documented and keep records for your own legal protection.  Sounds like he has many issues.  I would focus on the most eggregious issues.  For example, while your boss may leave 2-3 hours after the day begins, that is not as much an issue for you as how he is treating you.  \n\nSecond, while HR has not presented you the resolution, it may not mean they are not still investigating or have not taken some action.  They may also need more evidence. I would continue to provide documentation and evidence of your boss' bad behavior. \n\nThird, I would find legal help.  Life is too short to have your life ruined at work.    Obviously I don't know all the details of your case but if you have evidence of his actions, it sounds like you have a fairly strong legal issue.
