I am an educated professional person with an excellent background in my field. I was hired to work in Atlanta after applying from another state. Until my firing, I had become the only white in a large department. I was not trained to the complicated gov. computer program "one on one" as the other blacks in my same position were. I was
given verbal instructions and treated rudely and impatiently from my black supervisor from the beginning. I had been reprimanded for one job that hadn't completed properly. After that time I did do it correctly. When that was no longer a reason, the sup. sabotaged my work and found new trumped up reasons to fire me. I was there almost 6 months. 3 weeks before I was fired, the upper management gave me a nice bonus. I'm just listing a few of the things that show my firing wasn't due to incompetence, but that I was set up without training for the complicated computer program that involved many steps and classifications. I went to the EEOC where my investigator was (another) black female. She was abrupt and obviously unsympathic. I was told I had to prove another worker (black) in my same position, was treated differently than me in that she made worse mistakes and is still there. I have done that and sent the information back to her at the EEOC. I also have 2 good black friends who will witness. They had worked there with me. My question...is it time for me to consult an attorney? I was told to file first. I am "up a creek without a paddle" as I moved here and now have no job.
