What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Connecticut, and have for the past 3 months worked for someone who frequently insulted me, made embarrasing comments, made fun of my apperance, cursed at me, etc. This would often cause embarrasment and make me upset, which in turn made my job performance suffer, as I worked with the public. Other employees have also told me that he has done the same to them. He pulled me aside today and told me that a customer complained about me, because he thought I wasen't paying attention to him, but I was busy helping someone else, and it was just a misunderstanding. He yelled at me and insulted me, telling me I was incompetant and should never again in my life work with the public because i was so horrible at my job, while other customers and employees were able to hear all of this. This was not the only occasion when he made me feel so bad, that i actualy cried. He then told me to get the "f" out, that I was 'f'ing" fired. To make a long story short, I contacted the U.S. labor dept, the labor dept of Connecticut and the BBB for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and harrasment, and they all told me there was nothing I could do through them, that I would have to call a lawer. I have never in my life experienced this and I have no idea what steps I have to take or who to talk to. I'm not after suing for some outrageous amount of money, or out for revenge. I want him to be held accountable for what he put me through, and to stop him from repeated actions like this in the future. Does anyone have advice, please help!!!
