What is the name of your state?
Pennsylvania

I work from home in a sales role for a large corporation.

I signed into my computer last week and checked my sales stats. I was surprised to see they were not meeting goals because I had been above goal all month. I reached out to my supervisor and asked him to check the stats. My sales (which had been statistically accounted for) were no longer showing in the system. I gave him the information, which he verified, but the stats haven’t been corrected. I contacted technical support as he advised. They sent me a message to have him check my scorecard to see if he could see them (which seemed senseless: he can’t see anything different than I can on the scorecard.)

It is still not fixed after one week.

Next I checked sales call backs I had scheduled. The phone numbers had been removed from the client file. I had entered them: the initial call I made was entered in the account activity.

I couldn’t initially complete the application because the enrollment form wouldn’t load then the numbers were gone when I tried to call back. I had to reach out to my supervisor again.

There was a different tech support ticket created.

My supervisor visually checked the file and said it was unusual.

I have long suspected minor tech bullying but these incidents went beyond the norm.

What happened recently?

I found out from a complaining customer about a corporate political donation (he wanted the address to write a letter of complaint.) I did not discuss my personal opinion with the customer but I admit I was privately shocked and dismayed by it.

It is in contravention to my personal political position, which is not an online secret. I had made a political donation and participated in a public political event just before these two incidents.

The incidents impact my income and evaluations if not corrected and they haven’t been, the tone is what I would call jocular …

I submitted help desk tickets. I obviously am going to have to continue. It’s why it feels like low grade harassment. I wasn’t looking for a legal standing position. I was more interested in the occurrence of tech bullying since many work from home. Practically speaking a person erased the stats and phone numbers. Data errors don’t work this way

Nothing you described that the company has done is illegal either under federal or Pennsylvania law. It is not illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee for the employee's political positions.
