Recently, I was passed up for a promotion that I, along with my coworkers and manager, felt that I definitely deserved. I was better qualified than the white male who was placed in the position, after not giving me a chance to interview. The reason that I was given by upper management was that I was not allowed to work in the same area as my fiance, even though a year ago he was my direct supervisor. Last March I applied for a position in the same area as my fiance and there was no mention of our relationship being an issue-I just wasn't ready for the promotion. Since then my immediate manager has been preparing me for this same position that now all of a sudden I am being denied. The real reason I feel that I was passed up is because I am a Latin female in a white male dominated company. I was the best person for the job and I had sacrificed a lot for my career with this company. Now, I feel that my career has been brought to a halt with this company because of this issue. I am the one who was wronged and now I am being made to feel uncomfortable at meetings and company functions because no one really knows what to do or say around me. Do I have a case?
