Sex And Age Discrimination In Promotions

[SHONROO]

What is the name of your state? TENNESSEE

I AM A 32 YEAR OLD FEMALE WHO HAS BEEN EMPLOYED AT MY CURRENT JOB FOR TEN YEARS. I HAVE WORKED IN THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT FOR NINE AND ONE HALF OF THOSE YEARS. I WAS UP FOR A PROMOTION TO FISCAL OFFICER. I HAVE A BACHELOR DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING; WHICH IS ALL THE JOB REQUIRED. THE PERSON THEY ARE HIRING IS A MALE, RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATE WHO IS UNDER THE AGE OF TWENTY-SIX AND NEVER WORKED AT THIS AGENCY. I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHY I WAS NOT PROMOTED.

DO I HAVE A CASE FOR SEX/AGE DISCRIMINATION?

That depends. What evidence do you have that "but for" your gender, you would have been promoted? What evidence can you supply to show that it is SOLELY because he is male that the employee who was hired, was given the job?

The fact that you are female and he is male is NOT, in itself, enough to base a claim on.

Boy, sex discrimination really does suck!!!

Imagine, the last job I had before I retired they wouldn't let me have sex on my OWN desk AFTER hours with the cleaning lady....DAMN LAWS!!!

if you would stop YELLING you probably would have gotten the promotion.

Please Include your state, be civil, brief, and to the point, and use lower case letters.
