Might have accidentally fell into another EEOC complaint
It’s kind of crazy how once you’re aware of the EEOC you can easily recognize illegal activity in the workplace.
I didn’t experience the discrimination, but you don’t have to experience it to file. You can be a witness and still file.
I have to stress I wasn’t actively looking for a reason to sue my current job. Just because I’m aware of the EEOC doesn’t mean I’m sue happy. I didn’t even know about the incident until someone gossiping told me about it. I was just doing my work and she came over to tell us the news. She was excited too. I was like wow and they weren’t fired??? But that same week a black woman was fired for an equally fireable offense. It’s really Interesting how the employee said this in passing and was completely oblivious to the severity of it all. It was just normal gossip. This is why employers and managers do what they do. The average employee is unaware of their rights and basic labor laws.
The black woman was unaware because she didn’t make it to work the day the incident occurred. She was fired the following week. If she knew she could sue as well. I rarely believe in open and shut cases, but this one might be. If I sue, I can subpoena the woman that was fired as a witness and that would open another can of worms.
I’m gathering evidence today 🤭 with my handy dandy recorder.
I wish I could share more but it probably wouldn’t be wise. I think any good defense attorney routinely goes on this thread for any evidence. So be careful what you say on here.
