[@KiLLJOY1056]

Same. I claimed Harrassment and they gave me a Level 2 Write Up for claiming harrassment so that Im scared to actually pursue my claim. Theyre trying to silence me and discipline me for claiming ive been abused. If thats not clear retaliation, i dont know what is.

[@NS-ru5gl]

Same here for 2 months and counting. Every week something new happens. So far I've experienced retaliation, defamation of character, harassment, disability discrimination, and discrimination by association.

[@emr7712]

I'm a South African. I blew the Whistle at work. I was assaulted at my desk by the person I blew the Whistle on. He was not fired. I became the problem. The disciplinary was a means to intimidate, bully and victimise me. 8 years later, I am still in therapy, my life in ruins. He is still employed and for him, life goes on. 😢

[@Freebird65]

I have been retaliated against from my supervisor ever since I pointed out safety violations in his department which was new to me. You are so correct when you say HR will not respond or answer your emails. Now I've been spoken with several times by my supervisors supervisor. I have been told to strongly reconsider the position they offered me to leave my current department. That position is more physically labor intensive and definitely a less desirable position. I can keep my same pay and hours. I work in Walton Kentucky and I am going to file an EEOC complaint. I don't see my job lasting long once my company receives the complete. I'm sure they will get rid of me for some reason. Very sad, I was so excited to start working here. Now I'm so stressed out I cannot even sleep without thinking of all of the negative situations that has been going on.

I have been with a corporation for just about eight years and have been regarded as one of their top performers. I have gone through promotions, pay, increases, etc. and then six months ago I reported my boss for threatening and bullying me over a promise that was made off paper nonetheless, I was recently placed on a final, write up when I’ve never been written up before therefore, I went out on a medical leave also known as FMLA and filed a retaliation lawsuit, alleging, harassment, retaliation and Workmen’s Comp. for carpal tunnel. I shall see what becomes of this. It’s really unfortunate

[@jcmcclain57]

Excellent video! It cements that the actions being taken presently in my wife’s situation are correct. This video is a good primer for those experiencing actions violating their “protected rights” on the job. I would add to the recommendations: keep your cool at all times; keep the actions being done to you documented in writing, emails, written communications, etc. Having the documentation proving the basic discriminatory actions by your employer will make attorney selection in your jurisdiction much easier as you bring the case to a vetted attorney on a platter. Search out recent case law similar to your case in your jurisdiction to identify attorneys in your jurisdiction that really know how to win. I’m going to checkout more of Branigan’s videos!

[@abes3925]

Dude it doesn’t matter. Even if you win a case if you try to look for work at another job their gonna find out about your case and no employer wants to deal with that. It sucks but that’s the reality of life.

[@jcmcclain57]

​ @Abe S it does matter, discrimination and retaliation are wrong. A company that operates by using discrimination and retaliation is: a) not worth working for; b) worthy of getting taken to task in court. My wife in her situation had her employer stop the discrimination and retaliation; received a promotion, apology from the CEO, and financial reparations of two times the monies they attempted to withhold... without an attorney and without going to court. Yes, no employer wants to be taken to task without cause, but ones worth working for turn bad situations around because they got called out... even as inconvenient as it is for them to do so. Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues them; but the righteous are as bold as a lion. "A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once." William Shakespeare Discrimination and retaliation in the workplace does "suck", but it sucks a lot worse for employers who engage in it with the prepared. That is my and my wife's reality.

If I was offered a job with a company & I respectfully declined the position, but I took a job with their client & became onsite supervisor & my first day on the job, I was escorted out of that employer I turned down & was told I was not allowed on there. No reason given, embarrassed in front of everyone, almost lost my now job but because I had email of me turning them down for the position my boss ended up not firing me. Just placed me at another plant, business is business if he finds someone who can do that onsite position they will fire me cause I'm not allowed in our customers company with no answer given to why I'm not allowed. Only thing I can think of is I turned their job down. Help me

What do you do whenever the EEOC tells you that you have a retaliation case but can not investigate the matter because retaliation is not based upon a protected activity, although you had first complained about the harassment, before going up the chain of command and filing inquires with the EEOC, OSHA, Labor of dep. ETC. after the employer failed to correct the matter of being wrongly sent home and suspended, following being transferred and 16 days later fired and you can not get an attorney??

I build articulated Dump Trucks. 3rd shift was supposed to be doing 2 trucks a day, while 1st shift was supposed to build 4 trucks a day. For about two weeks I was working ten hours and building 5 trucks a day. And I was following it on my computer system. It would show me every truck I finished. After the 1st week, I noticed my boss was changing the numbers every day. So I build 5 then that night he made it where 3rd build two and we built 3. So it looked as if I wasn't getting our trucks. Then I fine out from the 3 shift. The guy doing my job was put back in the engine area to help them. So My split and the warehouse split used the same guy since they did half the work, they did two splits. the 2nd week was the same, The entire line had two shifts building trucks except the last two stations. So one day our Bum was walking by. (Business unit Manger) My boss's boss. I explain that 3rd is not building any trucks they are just barely filling the line up at night. Then we would run 5 and the next day they would run none off the line again. but the end would be filled up and 1 or 2 gaps in the line. I told her That my boss was changing what work i did to make it look as if they was getting 2 trucks and I was getting 3 trucks. Well that came to an end. then a week later I was wrote up for absenteeism. you have to miss 5 days to be wrote up. two of them I was on WI. that is when you are hurt and under medical instructions or have restrictions. So I told the union what had happen, A few weeks later I went out on WI for a surgery that I'll have tomorrow Jan 8 2024. I heard from one of my old bosses she was back in our department. She told me the other Boss that did all this is gone.((( Can I steal seek damages for something that was taken care of?))) I still went through the BS of being wrote up fraudulently.

4:50 hmmmm....while the co-worker’s retaliatory tale might not be illegal in a vacuum, if your boss acted on your co-worker’s false report by firing you, that could be illegal, although hard to prove in many circumstances. For example: Number 12, let’s say that your co-worker claims he’s worked tirelessly to fulfill the public’s held company’s contractual obligations for the last 2 months, when in fact he went on a Caribbean vacation and filled in his bogus time cards, and created and emailed made-up invoices to the EPA for work he had not performed, all while lounging on a sunny beach, sipping MaiTai’s and staring at girls in bikini.
