I work on a horse farm training 0-3 year olds. I got hurt and made a claim and man did I get put in the doghouse at work! My manager made work hell for me. After being self employed for almost 2 decades I’ve never experienced anything like that. I’m blown away
I was fired unlawfully from the Kroeger in 2016. I was set up by the area district manager and also the HR director. I filed for unemployment and was denied.. No money for 3 mos. I filed an appeal and lo and behold the termination was unlawful according to them so I was awarded 9300.00 for my claim. I tried to find an attorney to get help however I couldn’t locate anyone during that time frame. I had a good case against them and I would most likely have won. Social media didn’t have resources as they do these days. So thank you for being here for the people. We all need the help sooner or later it seems these days‼️👍😃

I used to ‘register’ complaints for the EEOC & this guy is 100% correct. Another horrible secret is that they purposefully take around 2+ years to even ‘respond’ with any results after they receive a complaint - so if someone is getting screwed by their boss, they are better off quitting than even filing an EEOC complaint. Only people with lawyers are taken seriously - you have to have your lawyer do all the communication - but still are not guaranteed to get any restitution. And… the worst thing is that the EEOC is ‘buddy buddy’ with all the ‘employers’ so they get on the phone & just laugh at the employees behind their back - knowing that they will just fire the employee - even if there is clear proof & witnesses who saw & testified about the discrimination or abuse. The EEOC is a joke.
I worked as a painter 40 yrs for a spacecoast hospital ,i would paint in the office for workers comp. Claims just like your comments is true the things they would say about the claiment were bias
I follow many attorneys/law channels and suddenly just like that… here you are! I’m in a mad rush this morning, but I listened to the first five minutes and I must say charismatic and without a doubt I will enjoy your future content . New Sub from South Florida 🌴
My wife was represented by an attorney then the same day my wife notified the EEOC investigator the attorney actually went to work directly for the EEOC and was closing his firm he replied 6 hrs later saying they was closing the charge and a right to sue letter would be issued. The position statement wasn't even submitted by the companyyet. She requested that and sent her rebuttal the EEOC then placed it in a supervisor investigation and a notice her charges was identified as appropriate for ADR . THIS WAS AFTER HER FIRST INVITATION TO MEDIATION. The company rejected the second session and a right to sue was issued. She got the ROI and nothing was even questioned by the investigators to the company. When you say they don't care I say "ANYONE WATCHING THIS BELIEVE HIM" they dont. Mind you the position statement was a complete lie and she supplied everything to prove it. Waste of time and effort.
My company failed to provide special accommodations 2 times. And 2 times Legal teams reports no case because i was never terminated. So I guess the moral of the story is the corporation can keep forgetting the special accommodations and and not fire you but hoping you will quit the job.
Often in court, standing must be established. Someone can say they are being hurt by their employer, but until the damage is measurable, the case is weak.
3 years. My wife put up with BS AT WORK. went to the EEOC. and that exactly what happened. Kinda blame myself for having the money for an attorney at one time. And didn’t think it was necessary. But my wife is ok. She will expose them. And it’s all documented very well. If nothing else. We are not in something that can drag on for years and years. Who needs that crap.
I filed a felony wage theft complaint with the labor commissioner in California.The labor commissioners office jumped down my throat when I asked about who handles the criminal aspect since they only do the civil side.I finally got someone to respond and said "the local police but chances are that they aren't going to do anything".Woman at the sheriff's office already had a prepared blow and said that "You cannot prove intent" and they refused to even review my evidence.While I am waiting for my civil hearing this bastard robs me again.I confronted him about it by text message.When I came to work the next morning there is a sheriff's deputy sitting in the parking lot waiting for me and telling that I am fired in retaliation for filing a felony wage theft complaint against this crook.The incompetent and insanely corrupt California labor commissioners office bowls me over in hearing despite 400 calls to lawyers and 3 of them with retainer agreements none of them appear at the hearing.The the same county courthouse loses my request for appeal 4 times in a row.The employment department denied my unemployment claim because turning your employer in for felony wage theft is against policies.I blame the lawyers for allowing things to get this fucking bad!
What's worse is if this was in a one party state, you'd likely be able to record some of what happened as evidence. Since it's California with a 2 party recording law, you can't do shit. Also, if it's felony wage theft, then you can record it because it is a crime to do that. Sadly, Commifornia ruins another life with 2 party recording laws. Sorry you have to go through this nightmare. The system in place is designed to fuck over anyone who isn't rich and powerful.
I learned the hard way that if your employer violates FMLA and ADA after a series of mini strokes; that something has to be filed with L & I in order to sue. Unfortunately being cognitively impaired, I didn't know this. It meant no one would take my case. Another employee got representation and won. Now it's too late. I learned that a 20 year employee with a service above self award and nearly all Exceeds Expectations mean nothing with a bullying new boss. Now drained all my retirement 401K just to stay above water. I learned that there is no Healthcare benefits when for ed into an early medical retirement. I learned that absolutely no one at the huge Healthcare Provider ( I worked in one of their hospitals) doesn't care.
I GOT FIRED FROM MY GOVERNMENT JOB FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER..I EVEN PROVED MY CASE..THEY STILL FIRED ME..BUT THAT WAS DECADE'S AGO..I WAS THREE FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS...MAYBE CUZ I WAS NEARING 20 YEARS..OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THIS BRANCH..
To have someone out there that that doesn't just do it for the money but he does it because it's the right thing to do..... I'm glad someone still in the fight
I was refused a religious exemption for the mask due to the safety of others during COVID-19. I was also told by EEOC that they could do that for the safety of others too.
It really sucks when your fired for no apparent reason in a state like California who they (the employer) says California has a no fault policy for firing. Wow !
Can I make a legal argument to my employer they cannot require me to work on the weekends without compensation of some kind? I work for a couple that requires some travel to conferences that take place on weekends. But if I don’t use my leave they expect me to come to work on Monday. This would mean I would have 7 day work weeks
I recently learned the only real justice is the justice you create for yourself. Take matters into your own hands and control your own outcome. No one else cares about anyone except themselves and what affects them.
They’re allergic to self-accountability…. After all, how can One become prosperous when One is constantly oppressed, discriminated against, and literally doesn’t comprehend the possibility of success?
Ever since the 1960s When the quota system became law and hiring put merit in the back seat Westernkind and Western civilization have been harmed..Blessings
Then why the hell do companies make people watch sexual harassment videos if nothing can be done to the perpetrators, the retaliation I experienced was horrifying..Screw everyone who harm others...We only have hope that karma will serve them WELL
My question exactly! Every time I have orientation and see those videos, I basically be like, "Why we even wasting our time watching this." Then these jobs wonder why they are so short staffed today. This has been going on in workplaces for years. I never got the information I just got now, and now that I see how hopeless it is to try to pursue one of these claims, I just told myself, "forget it. I'm just gone have to quit my job." LMBO
Things only turn out this way if the offender was an employer. Employment law in the US is truly fucked up. The laws are not on your side. They are on the employers' side because the lawyers for our major employers own our lawmakers and write our laws.
I worked for 21 yrs (aka 21yrs a slave) at my government job. I had strong work ethic, was reliable, and a great communicator. Over the years, the physical injuries i sustained during my work there caught up with me. When i filed a worker’s comp claim, and then a worker’s comp legal case against, I went the hell! The level of game-playing, disrespect and harassment was over the top stressful and made my physical and emotional pains worse! I filed with EEOC but it made things even worse! I was eventually given the option of staying, with NO work restrictions or resign! I opted to take a regular early retirement (they denied my disability retirement appeals) so i would at least have SOME income. After two years if pain and suffering, i settled my legal case for than my yearly salary-i was just DONE! It was with law enforcement, so they had more resources of harassment than i could continue to endure.
EEOC do not help workers people at all then they send you loads of of paper work for you to fill out , now they know you not going to fill them out especially when you stressed out can’t think or hurt so what is their job why they sit in there how come they can’t ask the question fill out over the phone?
So it seems like these employers can get away with anything they want to and nothing can be done about it. The EEOC isn't worth the effort to me I see. The lawyers want to charge you out rages frees just to look at your case and are not sure if it is worth anything.
This video hit it right on the spot. Having a skilled attorney is almost the only way to get a successful outcome speaking from experience. Thank you for your videos very helpful information.
I recently had a harassment complaint at work and I was pleased with the outcome. Problems arose when I needed to get a restraining order against the harasser. Since my employer "investigated" the complaint I thought that getting a copy of my statement would help me get a restraining order passed. When I contacted them I was told there was no paperwork to be had. ??? That nothing was in my employee file.??? How can that be? I just wanted a copy of the summary statement. Deep down I do not believe they did an investigation, I signed no papers, I was not even interviewed by a HR investigator. I plan on speaking with a legal aid consultant to get my statement or anything to get the restraining order. What should I do overall, and do you all think I will have a positive outcome? Should I just leave and get a new job and just put all of this behind me?
No harasser needs to be put in his or her place,I am not a lawyer, but you need to standup for yourself for get about Hershey ate looking out for themselves, they are useless, perhaps if you are a big shot they would get involved

Is it legal to take 600 of someone's paycheck because the company allegedly signed a contract with a broker, but the person is hauling as much and possibly more loads than before the reduction in pay????
Hey I made a video to try and help, it will go live 9:30 am on the third and you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aaOC4BvrRuE.html
You should schedule 3 to 5 free consultations with local employment attorneys. They are going to be much cheaper than our firm because we fly attorneys around the country. We also have videos on the channel about how to find a good employment attorney.
I am an RN who can’t find a job in my city of Las Vegas Nv for whatever reasons. Trust and believe that there is NO reason not to hire I have 4.5 decades of nursing experience may to be age, race, blacklisted who knows. My EEOC case against the VA of Nevada failed. Would love to have help in my battle to seek employment
Add to that preference and connection. I came to the an understanding there is equal opportunity to have right of interview but being hired especially when it’s internal hiring.
I requested that my job reopen a sexual harassment investigation and the company retaliated against me. They terminated me and not only terminated they ended my career in trucking. They reported that I smoked marijuana and consumed adderal. The random drug test given to me was negative and I had a prescription for the adderal. I’ve gone to EEOC previously and they didn’t help me. I need a good lawyer.
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️: does these statistics also include government employees?? Even with union bylaws? Thanks! I see EEOO personnel complaints a lot but had no idea, this is really an eye opener!
I can't say how I know, but my employer has LOTS of EEOC claims open against them. The individual claims don't seem to phase them. Would it be more effective for the people with claims to come together for class action?
I have a workers comp case. Due to get injured at work. The workers comp Doc. Wouldn't put me on Disability after many requests, because my employer couldn't accommodate my work restrictions. What can I do?
So, pure hypothetical: If I bribe the EEOC how easy would it be to prove I actually did it and, say the employee, who in this hypothetical is named Paul, wanted to prosecute me for it. How bad would the charge be if I was found guilty? Thanks.

I was an assistant manager at a Dollar Tree for about 2-4 years. First as a sales associate then asst manager. They gave me a 401k but can't get any information about it because they inputted the wrong birthdate for me and I tried and tried to get them to change it but they have given me the run-around so much that I've given up. Now I hear they are closing the stores so it will probably never get resolved.😐 Is there ANYTHING I can do at this point?
I have a case against Pepsi right now. And I've also won A L and I human rights investigation case. What state are you in? I have also caught them audio taping me which is illegal in this state and I now possess the video. Do you have any attorneys in Washington State you can recommend?
How do you get representation if you don't have the money for legal consultation...I live in New York City...I just recently lost my job...the story is too long to write on here...I was done very wrong and now I know I need to get representation...I just happen to be scrolling on my phone and your video popped up...If you can help...I appreciate it...Thanks
With the national school ‘failure rate.’ / It’s astonishing. I keep asking myself, What is the future going to be like? (So many ‘uneducated’ individuals. With the capacity that is below a third grade level.). Weep for the future.
I resigned for hostile environment and denial of FMLA for me to recover body injuries from work from 3018-2020 and still injured not working. Too late to file.
I just had a eeoc case here in Los Angeles this week! I wish I would have seen this before I had my case. He’s right! I should have hired an attorney instead of trusting the eeoc would have my best interest in mind. AND I still lost my job! I work for a charter school district.
I was terminated from my agency last week with the reason being: they didn't have a client for me to work with & the school I was at didn't want me back. Odd, considering since I was told that they had many clients available since my case was unfortunately going to fall through (the client wouldn't be with the school district anymore). I don't know if there's anything that could be done about that
I live in Houston and I can't even find an attourney that is even willing to talk to me. The only one that even responded told me of file a claim with the EEOC.
HR will forward you to EEcsues will fire you after you call that vnumber to report issues. This happened to two of my friends. Department of Health and Safelite.
Does it help or matter if one you’ve recorded and documented everything and two if you have upper management who have or will go on record about your claims ?
I was fined for something my employer did . Got a lawyer and he was told ... quote ! Your objection is noted , time to move on . They are judge and jury.
EEOC was pointless in my case. Fired from job because I refused to be a plumber, when I was hired to be a "Purchasing Specialist". Need better representation of wrongful termination. If the company is racist why would you want to work for the.
In Florida we spoke with multiple attorneys regarding workplace discrimination and sexual harassment cases. None of them had a "free" consultation, their fee for the first consultation was $250. If they decided to take the case there would be an additional charge (up to $500) to have them do the EEOC filing, and then they would decide if they'd handle the rest of the case on a contingency basis. Florida is an FEPA state, so the EEOC would dual file with the FEPA/FCHR office. But my understanding is that if instead you file with the local FEPA (FCHR office) it will still be dual filed with the EEOC, and the local agency might have stricter laws than the federal EEOC leading to a stronger case. Honestly the information out there is difficult to weed out, some law firms appear to be mostly interested in making an initial $250 - $500 than helping the client unless you have an easy/high profile case. Whatever you do, you can't file with both the EEOC and FEPA, but it is best to use the FEPA for the initial filing and let the FEPA pass it on to EEOC (if your state has FEPA). This "dual filing" is automatic. To anyone who reads this: The most important thing is that you have a very detailed LOG of names/times when the incident(s) occurred. Also you obviously had to have tried to make at least a few attempts to resolve it with the employer via managers and HR. Basically you have to show a pattern of the employer being negligent by not addressing your concerns, if you can't do that, they will simply brush you off as a disgruntled employee. Do NOT wait for them to fire you before filing! Do that, write it up in a document and have that document on hand PRIOR to consulting with any lawyer or filing an EEOC claim on your own. Bottom line: Be prepared, don't lie or embellish your claim.
Yep, I made a video about employment attorneys charging for consultations - I hate it when they do that!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ziPvOGneog.html
@@JobAttorney Question. I see you are in NYC, we are in Florida and the case is my wife against Walmart. The incidents occurred over the past two years, and it reached a turning point in July 2022 which is what triggered us to look into this. She is still employed by Walmart, but was demoted and is being harassed to the point that she should quit due to the intense environment this created. Not only did they refuse (both managers and the store HR) to address her concerns, we had to discover for ourselves that we could go up the chain to Walmart's ethics division (a 3rd party they use). It's been a couple weeks and nothing was said to us about her claim. So now we are seeking EEOC filing (my wife is 59 and has over 35 years experience with the job she does). My question is do you have a firm that you would recommend that handles cases in Florida?
@@WyMustIGo We actually do handle EEOC matters in all 50 States, but if you can find local counsel in Florida it will generally be cheaper than hiring our firm just because they don't have to fly attorneys around the country like we do.
@@JobAttorney Good to know that you handle all 50 states. Honestly we are not sure who to use locally. If it were a car accident, there are probably a million choices. That is why I asked for your recommendation. We'd be glad to discuss the possibility with you.
@@WyMustIGo You can give us a call at 917 985 7886 if you want to discuss that, I just prefer to see you save the money. I wish I had someone down there to recommend. Have you tried avvo.com? They have a tool to search attorneys by practice area and locale.
I feel silly. I filed and they took a horrible intake, it was dismissed and I was still waiting for unemployment by the time my 90 timely filing limit to find an attorney. Now I’m “mysteriously” unable to find work in that sector
What about if you had an employer that used a mentally ill woman to harrass to threaten or harrass you but I dont hold the woman accountable for what she did being she was mentally ill. Then the employer thought some silly things . Then had law enforcement, my apartment manager, other residents, other small businesses, etc.. continue to harrass you until you had a mental breakdowns. Almost didnt make it and continue to struggle everyday because of the abuse. Whats that worth? I live with a lot of issues with the community. The employer is probably the richest guy in the tri county area so everyone just did whatever. Hoping to get themselves into a position of power or something. I contacted WERC. They didnt have much to say. Im guessing hes got private investigators hounding and harassing me as well.
That's all I'm going to say for now. Literally... I've been dealing with this nonsense for over a year and 6 months. You're the 1st... The 1st to actually show interest on my behalf besides whatever little help to help know what was going on. My brain slid right off the plate off because of this. I understand being a man and sucking it up. But some things still haven't stopped. I always hope after someone makes a mistake. They'd stop. Learn and move on. I gave as many breaks as I could. But apparently, unless I do some sort of negative reinforcement to get things to stop. It's not... As in legally. I'm not getting myself in trouble because of emotions or acting bad as these people have. Unfortunately, because of those people's actions, it has been unmendable or that doesn't have a simple fix. Once the defamation starts. It doesn't stop. Stack the mental issues that came with it along covid and normal defamation. It's too much to where I need some sort of justice or a way to deter from things continuing or occurring again. I apologize if my language or typing isn't the best. Genuinely, it blew some sort of fuse to where I have a hard time focusing. There is too much inside. Once I get going, I can't keep track, but it's all true. Getting it in order is the problem.
@@HaroldErdman-zs9tp Understandable. I hope you can get your mind clear and figure a way out of your situation. Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems as if you're being conspired against in a way, this does terrible things to your head. Good luck to you.
I got let go When I was 19 at a fast food place and they lied on me saying that I was let go along time ago and I lost my stubs when I tried to file for unemployment. We sat in front of a judge and they lied and I got denied for EVERYTHING.
It's almost like our Mayors taught our business owners, how to teach our landlords, how to teach us. For 20 years we've all known whose fault it is and for the rest of my life it will be the same s*** sucks what can I say?
If attorneys are only interested in high profile cases then what good would it do to consult one especially if they charge a fee for the initial consultation
"Okay uhh, consultation is free. But'ahh, I'll need a retainer fee of $2,500 to begin the paperwork..." "Well, I don't have that kind of money, I only have like $900 in my account. And I haven't gained employment yet." "Then you should be talking to Legal Aid, not me."
I filed with the EEOC after being threatened from a worldwide company that I would lose my job if I didn’t come back by a certain deadline. I had an emergency surgery due to an injury than had to travel out of state to get 5 more surgeries by the specialist, ended up in a wheelchair, and yes all was documented and filed with HR even by my doctors and EEOC did not do anything for me even with all the evidence I had including a call video from an HR person telling me I’d better walk away, unfortunately because I had to focus on my medical issues and two kids, as I was a single mom, I did walk away. Bottom line I would never advise anyone to file a complaint with them, just get a lawyer, you will be better off. EEOC should not even exist, the people are useless and don’t care about your case.
What if they give disciplinary action to black employees but not to white employees? I know you should do the step by step with the company HR department and so on then rappels to corporate then go through EEOC. However, the pudding is in the paperwork and they’re basically just saying you’re utility with no proof. The plant manager is telling supervisors to write up certain employees, but the people getting disciplinary action are black.
I'm white and watched black dudes not do their job, walk off for unintended breaks, caught all the time flirting with women , ALWAYS treated like children, " come on Demetrius,now you know you cant be doing that" On the third offense getting let go.... " you all just hate black folks" Ok buddy 👌 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Manager and other employees are harassing me, singling me out, and bullying me at work is there a way to stop this at work? I filed a complaint to HR but they never do anything What can I do?
Mr. Vince, I just want to thank you for all your videos and very informative information. he touched Byron since you expression of attorney, going rate of attorneys today or not or fair playing grounds for those that really can't afford an attorney. would be more appropriate for advice pertaining to how to go for a decent attorney when you got left in your pocket..

I was assaulted by a student...I was working as security for a high school in California for 31 yrs..I felt I had no choice but to retire...at 60...plus I got hurt and still have workman's comp case on going..I just feel I just screwed
Hey Vince, I was told to ask to speak to the EEOC Director if unhappy with receiving a Right to Sue. The reason they said they didn't have jurisdiction is the reason the company never had a right to have me terminated. No employer/employee relationship. Right, because my boss was independent representative for the company. He controls decisions of an employee.
@@JobAttorney They don't see an employer/employees relationship. That's why I sued. They didn't have a right to have me terminated. It was retaliation after complaining to HR about my former boss. He's been with them 30 years. I was thinking EEOC took the case because I was never an employee of the company that had me terminated. It's an insurance company.
@@tallchicknvegas So the EEOC determined you were an independent contractor? Or that you did not work for the company at all? If you were correctly classified as an independent contractor the EEOC may not have jurisdiction over your matter, but State or local laws may still offer you protection in some pats of the country. (Example: NYC but there are many others) Check with local counsel about your State and Local rights.
@@JobAttorney thank you so much for your time. Not me, my boss. You know, agents who work for Allstate or State Farm. I'm an agent who works for agency owners. The owners have an independent contract with the insurance company. There's legal disclaimers saying I am not an employee of the insurance company 🧐 I also brought up a sexual harassment case I won in the 90's against same company, in my complaint. Then I was fired a week later.
I had a question. I lost a Job in 2020 at a fast food place after I went to the hospital. Could not call in. Did call back 5 hours later with a doctors notice. Still lost my Job. Went back to apply to another restaurant of the same brand owned by the franchisee. Was told they do not hire former workers. This concerns me. What should I do and second...I cannot find unemployment law attorneys in my areas.
I wish I knew that I had to file with something with L&I when my employer refused accommodations to let me return from FMLA. It's too late for me now.... but I had a series of mini strokes due to work related stress. Eventually forced into early medical retirement. Worked in a hospital for 20 years. Had a service above self award. New boss was behind it. Thos all happened in 2020. They just sent me a text asking former caregivers to come back. Ummmmmmm noooooo.
The company i work for wont cover surgeries resulting from on site injuries and if you’re injured and you can stand on both feet they’ll keep you on the schedule anyways
I have been told that I am, suppose to be, a 'Team Player' and that entailed doing dirty and smelly clean up jobs that the other so called 'Team Players' (co-workers) refused to do. Safety rules were always changing depending upon the Stupidvisor liked you or not. Low accountability for co-workers. High accountability for me is what I was seeing and had to deal with.😑
