What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
About one year ago, I was hired in my field as an engineer. In my first month of employment (while on probation), I began working closely with a gentleman "Bob" who was extremely vulgar and continually bashed and made fun of gays and lesbians. He made many derogatory statements. When I asked him to stop, he refused and I then became a target of his antics. (I must be gay, etc.) I finally went to HR and reported his behavior and explained that my aunt and sister in law are both gay and that he was offending my family. The woman who handles all HR matters is married to the man who was my boss at the time. She called both of us in the office while I made my complaint. She exploded at her husband, (who was often in the room when "Bob" made his slurs, yet said nothing), and yelled "I TOLD YOU TO STOP BOB! WE ALREADY HAVE ONE PENDING LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF THIS GUY!" Her husband admited Bob was a problem and they then discussed with me how many problems they have had with him. The HR lady was so upset and then said, we probably shouldn't be telling you this, but I am just so mad. They said they would take care of it. Next day, I was let go. What can I do? Do I have a case?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
