Great advice! Only thing missing that might be helpful is to reinforce with viewers how stressful and time consuming the process is. Going to HR is the first step in what could be a slow, agonizing process that more likely than not ends with unemployment. The higher the risk for the company, the more difficult they’ll make it. It’s intentionally uncomfortable, and it’s hard not to get emotional about it when your livelihood is at stake.

So true, I wish I knew HR was not my friend and that when they say open door policy that means tell us everything so we can figure out how we can legally be monsters

Great video. Every time I memorialized a conversation or filed a complaint via email I received a email back stating this is not the appropriate way to handle the situation. As you stated, everything they wanted to be handled via a meeting.

@Dani-mj2lh 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your expertise…this happens to us everyday. I’ve been working since I was 15, and in 34 years. I have been discriminated against 75 percent of the times and I walked away and let it go….never again💪🏽

I work in HR and have always said this. I am transparent with people though I’m like here is the line and if you start saying things where I have to act as an “operative” I will stop you but by in large the role of HR is to mitigate risks for the company. Now if you have good ppl they do advocate for employees and try to ensure internal equity but sometimes their hands are tied too

@thebeachfamily2425 3 месяца назад

HR is only there to protect the company’s interest/liabily. They are not there for their for the employee at all. HR is nothing but the company Snitch/ kiss _$$

@freddyhollingsworth5945 5 месяцев назад

100% truth...people that say these things are not true have simply never experienced stuff like this...they think HR is "for them" to "protect" the employee...the truth is 100% opposite.. I have seen some good people fired because they was the victims.. I saw the "mean girls" in the dept get a new guy fired only bx he looked and talked just like one of their ex-husband.. Great video!!!

Even though I understand this fully, it looks good in court that I went to HR anyway with my cases per the handbook. It's all in the documented emails of my rights being violated. I made copies. I have emailed HR about our unrecorded meetings. Good advice!!!!🎉❤🎉 I have everything I need before they terminate me, if they do.

So true t documented everything and Defendant council is out right denying my requests for accommodations. After only offering unpair medical leave till my medical was going to cost $500 a month with no paycheck. Started abandonment of job willful misconduct charges because I requested accommodations to work from home. Nuts its them that did intentional infliction of emotional distress. Etc. said I cant sue a School district or their employers. Right. Wish I was in FLA keep up the good fight!

@Itzyhani Год назад

I am a target and they are going to do something to me. I feel so alone, unprotected, scared, depressed. After making complaints of sexual harassment, retaliation, discrimination etc they released it to everyone. I am so nervous about tomorrow. This has gone on for years. I took photos of the retaliation from Friday. I’m felt like a kid on a playground until I saw a white car from work follow me all the way home- 25 minutes and turn around right at my turn and leave. I was so scared I didn’t even go pick my son up from my mothers. Do I report this? Can I ask to see the video. I’ve called multiple ppl for help but no one will. They are going to do something to me. I know it.

Record and document everything and get a dashcam for your car. After you have enough evidence, leave the job and sue them. You'll have all the evidence you need. Good luck

@@jep23452 I'm from Canada. What is your advice? Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums ever win.[

Now say I’m at a government paramilitary job . It involves a chain of command system. I asked my supervisor for ADA accommodations twice but she states “this job doesn’t require accommodations” even though I need them. In my evaluation or meetings they compare me to my coworkers who are faster learners . They call me lazy because i take some time to learn. If I go to HR they will blame me for breaking the chain of command. What would you do? I also wrote a rebuttal to a situation at my job of someone defaming me. My evaluation before my rebuttal was fine but after it I received a bad evaluation. Anything I can do?

@sofbebe1 10 месяцев назад

Now looking back at some things in hindsight, a former supervisor always requested a follow-up meeting "to discuss in person" because that was his preferred way. My question is, should I have asked if i could record our conversation that we're about to have? Is it ok to ask or not a smart move despite a target being on my back already. It most likely would've been declined i guess.. what are your thoughts?

I recently sent an email to my manager in regards to racial discrimination, he sent it to HR they did an Investigation w/o me and asking me any questions . I provided my manager w minimum info .. they didn’t even know what exactly was said bower they conducted an investigation and said it wasn’t racially motivated , I do have every single thing that has occurred documented but I didn’t give them all of that information! How are they able to conduct an investigation w/o even knowing all of what happen. ?

@tdunn2 Месяц назад

*IMPORTANT* Only employers with a certain number of employees (20 or 14) are subject to these discrimination laws. So, if even if you’re a protected class, you may not be covered, sadly.
