I raised discrimination concerns because I was excluded from a major team project when I had more education and work experience than my two younger male co-workers. I was given a final warning containing false accusations that I view was retaliation for raising discrimination concerns. On around my second day of employment the Manager mentioned that I was hired before she knew she could have Matt, another co-worker.
This situation could involve potential claims of discrimination and retaliation under employment laws. Here are some important points to consider:
- Discrimination: If you were excluded from opportunities due to your gender or age, this could violate anti-discrimination laws like Title VII or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (if age is a factor).
- Retaliation: Employers cannot punish employees for raising concerns about discrimination.
Do you want guidance on filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)?
The Manager has been trying to dimmish my Professional reputation from the start. I was not assigned work that would enable me to use my present work skills. The tainted work record, false accusations and any reference from the Manager could prevent me from obtaining employment with future employers.
