I have already filed a 16E complaint with the National Park Service. It is under investigation. But an additional incident occurred yesterday. Can you help me write that up to send to my HR specialist?\
Sure ****, I can assist with that. Could you provide me with the details of the incident that occurred yesterday? Please include as much information as possible such as what happened, who was involved, where and when it took place, and if there were any witnesses.
Please ask me any additional questions to ensure I am addressing everything. Or if clarification is needed: On Monday, June *, my spouse, Ramon Perez, met with Geremia at the end of the day in his office. During this meeting, Geremia informed Ramon that Employee Relations had advised him that using his leave to accommodate picking up our child from the bus stop at *:* PM was no longer acceptable. The following morning, I met with Geremia and expressed that I saw no other solution, as Employee Relations had strongly advised him that I had lost the flexibilities I was initially hired with, as they are not entitlements. With Ramon unable to use his PTO to pick up our child and me unable to work the schedule Jennifer had assigned, I felt I had no choice but to resign. Geremia responded that he needed to consult with Employee Relations and would get back to me.
Later, Geremia had another meeting with Ramon and informed him that Ramon could, in fact, continue to use his leave as previously arranged. At *:* AM, Geremia asked if I could meet with him and Jennifer in the conference room at *:* PM. I agreed. During the meeting, Geremia and Jennifer presented two printed emails to reference my accommodation requests. These emails were between Geremia and Employee Relations, not involving me directly. Geremia misinterpreted our interaction and miscommunicated the situation, a recurring issue.
It has now taken eight weeks to receive clear guidance on our schedules to ensure we can manage child pick-up and drop-off. Jennifer and Geremia provided no resolution or additional information, which I believe was an intimidation tactic. During the meeting, Geremia blatantly lied about various conversations and interactions, despite the presence of multiple witnesses. Jennifer defended him by stating she had known Geremia for ten years and was a single mother herself. The situation became so frustrating that I began to cry and continued to weep for the remainder of the meeting. At the end of the meeting, they walked out and turned off the lights while I was still sitting there in distress.
Following their departure, Jennifer and Geremia met in Jennifer’s office for about * minutes. I sat at my desk, outside of Geremia's office, and continued to weep. Geremia then returned and chose that moment to conduct my midterm review, standing at my desk while I was visibly upset and presenting me with my review.
### Ongoing Issues
I have now experienced nearly two months of this behavior against me. Jennifer and Geremia have been given access to hold meetings with me that have no clear agenda or intended outcome other than to intimidate and harass. This ongoing conduct is creating a hostile and unprofessional work environment, significantly impacting my ability to perform my duties effectively.
This incident exemplifies the hostile and unprofessional environment perpetuated under Jennifer's leadership, characterized by intimidation and retaliatory tactics. Immediate action is required to address these systemic issues and ensure a respectful and supportive workplace.
I'm sorry to hear about your distressing experience, ****. Can you please clarify if there were any specific discriminatory remarks or actions made based on your gender, race, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic? This will help me provide more precise information.
there were not. Jennifer has in the past. This incident was a clear example of the retaliation and intimidation from Jennifer and Geremia whom I filed the 16E complaint against.
****, it's important to clearly highlight incidents that show discrimination or retaliation. Could you provide examples of the discriminatory remarks or actions made by Jennifer in the past? This will strengthen your complaint.
When speaking to John Treanor, a former supervisor of mine she made comments about how I am struggling as it is in my current role. That I dont have work life balance and I am failing to fulfill my PD. This was all in reference to her idea of me that I can not managme my job with * young kids.
