[@terrimarco787]

DEFEND Yourself and DON'T BE AFRAID OF ANYONE STAND UP FOR YOURSELF BE RESPECTED I don't care who you are its your right to be in a safe nontoxic and non hostile environment document every thing that is non wanted behavior

[@ryans413]

It's just shitty that people can do this why can't we just treat are employees right

[@mspixiedust100]

Our employer keeps two files, the "official" personnel file, and then the one in their office.

I am consistently told not to speak in meetings, voice the shortcomings, risks. Some managers complained that I am intimidating just because of the speed and depth of thought I have. These reasons are consistently playing to block me from growing. Essentially, I have to follow exactly I am asked to do though it’s BS, act as a ‘yes man’. Besides, my race and color being an Asian Indian adding against me. It’s like how an inferior person know so much. I just don’t know what to do

[@philipbriney4430]

Before retirment I learned the hard way never trust a female at work. They had a big meeting because we ragged each other ( the guys) but never the gals so they complained we were excluding them. Then when we gave them a toned down version of the way we treated each other they ran to HR and whined it was harrasment. Eventually rhe company quit hiring the gals they caused trouble and as soon as the job got nasty and you were getting hurt the gals bailed.

[@michaelkirby7898]

What if you have a stutter and worked for the company for three years, make the deposit for your manager ,come in during the day when called upon, works Saturday, never calls in. Only called in when there’s a blizzard out??? What should I do cause the director of operations for my company said I have a lot of potential but the only thing holding me back is my stutter to a another employee?

Thank you very much for very helpful video.

[@historyforhumanitypamelach4103]

Why cant people just treat each other right? Discrimination happens every single minute in the world just as often as the statics show there is a baby born every minute..... babies? yes!, discrimination! no no no... Dignity and respect is a must! We all deserve that

[@LoveAimshigh]

I'm being bullied by my supervisor & upper management right now & now they are telling me I can't work over time. Just Me! And my time that I did work they did not pay me for. I'm so frustrated about this because this & other instances has caused me soo much stress ect. How do I prove this & how can they be reprimanded for thier horrible behavior!? Speaking of retaliation...now my sup is informing me that I messed up on this work claim & that all of a sudden.. before she was pretending to be understanding about my time adjusting back to work from maternity leave & an serious std medical leave.

[@GaryHest]

Everything is workplace discrimination, what about being a customer in a store who gets discriminated against and told to leave for no reason? Where are the lawyers for that or what should I do to get help? All the lawyers I speak with only deal with stuff in the workplace

[@harmony3279]

I am in Georgia and my employer refused to provide my personnel files.

I can see myself like a black women how to be discriminated because of skin color!!! Sometimes being pretty and sexy are being discriminated as well! I’m called a porn star or prostitute! Therefore, I will just tell to everyone I have HIV disease so that I can validate the feelings of those insecure work colleagues!!! I hope they will feel better 😂😂😂 Yes, I am a drug addict as well at Lowe’s Lehi! Are you having fun now??? 😂😂😂

[@josephholdman1037]

Just become a criminal! It will make things right! They won't know the difference anyway! Stay true to yourselves. And run from the law that is lawless anyway! They don't know the difference anyway! there is no safe haven anyway; they made a mess too extreme so pray to God he forgives us for something someone else does! "Treason" is difficult! Understand the situation here! We are a mess! and it is truly sad.

Do I have any rights for unlawful termination if I'm a temporary worker in a "Right to Work" state such as Virginia?

[@nancyong7670]

I would like to know the answer as well. If i was probationary period do i have a rights for unlawful termination?

[@indym375]

Well heres my thoughts when u work for a million dollar company u are just a number and they attorneys Galore and when you live in at will state they fire you for whatever reason they want without justification plus you know Big Brother is always watching and monitoring your personal cell phone and watching you when you work for a company its like that and invading your privacy your jurisdiction u have to prove all of those things I was sick @the time but its water under the bridge

color discrimination in hiring is the biggest issue in America, ppl that grew up around others with light skin complexion are able to discriminate against darker complexion humans (particularly males), and not have to elaborate to anybody why they chose not to give them the job

[@septiawoman2911]

I agree. Moreover, when discrimination is based on preference for another "minority" group. We are all looking into this and were not surprised to find that this has become prevalent in other employment/jobs as well. We have chosen to FIGHT.

[@sunnyaccount3984]

Yes, that is true, but my friend was working in a place where majority of workers were black males, and my friend is light skin, and all the black males start picking on him and harassed him, this happened in Barbados. My friend told me that he also received personal threats in order to make him quit, and managment were involved in this and they did nothing to protect my friend from this attacks, so also black folks are on the way around when they are majority in a workplaces

[@wanda986]

What is your number?

[@SuperOdra]

I'm having this issue at my place of work. It's becoming so frustrating, tiring, depressing. I don't know what to do anymore. I genuinely like my job, my coworkers and even my direct manager but our departments senior manager is outright a privileged white man and it's not fair.

[@williamprice3929]

This is not grandaddy or daddy's work environment any longer, loyalty doesn't pay. You need to wise up, read the environment, read the writting on the wall. Jobs will discard you in a heartbeat. Leave yourself an out, don't fall for the "their your buddy shit." The people who like you today, can be replaced by people who hate you tomorrow. Jobs look at employees today, not as an asset, but as a cost (they're paying you, therefore you are a drain). This is the view of office types who never do the real work. Bright side is, they do this to you, it will be done at a later time to them, count on it. Like I said, leave yourself an out, act everyday as if this might be your last one there. Seems a shitty way to look at things, but that is the way it is in today's job market.

[@sunnyaccount3984]

The last resort is to sue your employer take them to court and let the court or tribunal to decide if you have the right to be compensated for any of the bad behaviours of your coworkers, administrative personnel and managers, if you have a good case you will win your case and they may have to compensate you for the moral damages they caused

[@truthbetold255]

Basically corporations make the laws so they can do whatever they like

[@TherealEricaEarl]

Yeah pretty much especially stupid ass Arizona right to work state music and hire and fire you at any time without any reason they can let your ass go it's bullshit it's a system that set up to defend the bad guys and not the good

Do I have the right to know and request an explanation as to why I have been discharged from a temporary position in a "Right to Work State"?

[@kathleenowen5524]

I got told about a week ago that my managers were planning to get me to quit or get me fired. The manager had discussed this with an employee that told me about it. Now as of 5/4/19 I am suspended with no explanation and kicked off the property. I have been writing things down here and there then brought a note pad last week to work and the manager flipped out that I even walked in with it. I need help I do live in Oregon. Who can I contact?

[@kathleenowen5524]

I also requested my personnel file from my manager and she stated she cannot give me anything. I also called the HR to request it aswell haven't had a reply yet.

thr complaint has rights, what about the alleged harasser?

[@enekneya7378]

Great information!! If you work for a large company, would the law of an employees right to access personnel files fall under the state the employees lives in or where their primary HR office is located?

[@hectorvelasquez7754]

What about when you have a union and they dont do anything

[@mspixiedust100]

This was excellent.

[@mspixiedust100]

How do we request the manager's personnel file, which THEY go by? "Drop file" they call it.

[@ashraheem9189]

Thank you. This is a really good piece of advice.

[@upsidediy3945]

Discrimination is everywhere. And perhaps to be safe from it. avoid the people as much as you can. Perhaps move, because it won't heal or help your life.

[@upsidediy3945]

Discrimination just a warning . From one person to the other. There's probablly many issues and peices to different people. Every one does discriminates , after discretion.the only thing you learn and have to accept, as character, wether it's you or them

Most employees do not want to get involved, fear of losing their job. Especially if you are new and they do not know you.

[@Spectre2434]

So if the written complaints including emails and texts if they are firm are more valuable than if they are "fluffy". Like if they say " unacceptable behavior or hostile work environment".
