What is the name of your state? Ohio
Was with company for the past 16 years and posted for a new position within the company in a new department only to find out I was hired under false promises. Job description was misrepresented. Job level was decreased. Zero job training even though it was required and promised. When I reported to the new position I found very undesirable working conditions had very little working space in limited workspace quarters, working in squalor, office was filled and stacked with numerous boxes and stacks of papers, and reports that were left there from previous employee with no organization and told to clean it up. Promised one type of job position and was being used for another. Was subjected from the period of 04/01/2005 to 06/18/2005 to Intimidation, Humiliation, Embarrassment, Belittling, Degrading demeanor, Email Reprimand, Verbal Abuse, Light physical abuse, The person threw mail at me hitting me in the chest. Old school intimidation, Harassment, and Demeaning comments. Manager was sharing personal information not meant for others to see or know about me with other staff members and just plain intimidation and mental abuse. Cost me a $5,000. Increase promotion. Left the department and went back to my old department and my old position was eliminated when I left for the new position so I had to take a job that decreased my salary to my old salary of what it was when I left. Damaging my reputation. During that time in the new position I had to take a two-week medical disability leave causing me numerous physical and mental health issues and am now being treated with medication for the next 6 months. Would like to know if I have any legal recourse with this at all. Thank you,

Though they are likely 'not actionable' it would take a review of the SPECIFIC acts to see if any of them rise to the level of 'actionable'.

The person threw mail at me hitting me in the chest.
Possibly 'physical assault'.... but would again require a review of the SPECIFIC's to see if it actually is.

Old school intimidation, Harassment, and Demeaning comments.

Cost me a $5,000.
How??

Increase promotion.
What does that mean??

Left the department and went back to my old department and my old position was eliminated when I left for the new position so I had to take a job that decreased my salary to my old salary of what it was when I left.
Nothing wrong with that.

Damaging my reputation.
How??

Based solely on your rambling post, I don't see anything actionable..... or sufficient to cause you PHYSICAL (??) and mental health issues.

Would like to know if I have any legal recourse with this at all.
Based on the contents of your post, it appears that the employer may not be the best one in town.... but that in itself is NOT illegal. I see nothing (other than your claim that he threw mail at you!!) that would rise to the level of legal remedy.

Quit and find another job.
