What is the name of your state?az
I have a hearing coming up . The hearing is about a first impression statute interpretation and also against an agency for mistreating clients. I will win the first issue - the judge has already told us as much, and I will probably win the second matter too.
I don't have quite enough of an adverse job action for a retaliation lawsuit under Title Vll, but I have the necessary elements of libel. Could you guys read through this and give me your opinion? I was going to just drop it but I'd like to get a few opinions as to whether this is viable or not.
The agency/employer in question had many complaints filed against it. The angency/employer decided that I had filed all the complaints. I had'nt filed any. The CEO of this agency held a meeting where administrators and members of the Board of Directors and couple of people from outside agencies attended. The purpose of the meeting was to discredit me. The CEO wrote and passed out a 12 page packet of material, mostly about me, all false. Among the false statements are:
- that I had performance problems, and I got to the point where I was going to be fired for my performance. I can prove this isn't true.
-"It was suggested that Katy get therapy to give her tools to solve her problems at work." This is an untrue statement but the underlying implication is that mental problems are the reason the CEO had trouble with me.
Description of the complaints filed, then "Katy has become a very disturbing element in the work force."
There was also a letter from a co-worker to the CEO of our parent company. It was distributed to show that my peers do not support me. It said, "I don't agree with what Katy wrote to you in her letter and she has no right to speak for me." and was signed by this co-worker. Sinice I never wrote the CEO any letter, the CEO must have told the other employees that I had written the letter, then had the co-worker write the letter, etc. This was an attempt to alienate me from my co-workers.
It worked. All my co-workers shunned me (some still haven't speaken to me and it's been almost a year), and even my manager wouldn't answer my calls when I had to take a week of sick time.. I finally wrote a constructive discharge letter and quit 15 days later.
I've been out of work almost a year.
I'm covered by an anti-retaliation statute.
What do you think?
