What is the name of your state? Georgia
I have been employed with a Fortune 500 company for the past 12 years in various positions. In March 2006, I accepted another salaried position in another division of the organization and immediately experienced a culture shock. It was as if I signed on with a totally different company. In any event, my current leader has demonstrated various legal opportunities which stems from violation of EEOC/Civil Right laws, Fair Credit Billing Act, and discrimination within her hiring practices. Additionally, in her plight to climb the corporate ladder, I am constantly being asked to manipulate data which doesn't leave for a very comfortable situation, and whenever I push back, I am given very direct ultimatums. On 7/31/06 this matter was escalated to my leader's boss, who in turn escalated to the HR Manager on 8/24/06. However, my observation is all involved is trying to clean up their dirty work. Unbeknownst to everyone, I have evidence to support my allegations. Because of all the undue stress, additional medical issues ensued and I am currently out of the office on FMLA, currently in my 3rd week. At this point I am really fearful to return to the office because of fear of retaliation and loss of my job and would like to seek out my options from a legal standpoint. What I would really like to do is expose my leader/company wrongdoings; however, I would like to retain the service of an attorney whereby the legal cost would be covered upon receipt of a settlement. The company in question is in the habit of settling, as they do not want the negative publicity which would impair their brand image.
