What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I work for a company that has instituted a forced ranking system where 10% of employees receive a negative ranking each year. I recently received a poor ranking for 2002 even though I had received excellent quarterly reviews throughout the year. My supervisor was unable to list any deficits in my performance and had suggested at both the Q3 and Q4 reviews that I would be receiving a promotion. I had taken FMLA leave for the birth of a child during the year and have since learned that 65-70% of the employees in my department who have taken FMLA leave during the past few years have received a negative ranking for the year that they were on leave. Combined with the fact that I was discouraged by a manager for applying for a new position because he said "you'd just get pregnant again and go on leave and I would be without a designer", I am starting to feel that I may have a case for FMLA discrimination. Any opinion??
