Michigan: I filed a complaint on 1/28/2019 regarding retaliation at my job. I was promised a promotion at my job, it was announced to staff, and I signed the paperwork to for the promotion to start on 1/1/2019. There were two other dates given for my promotion including 1.1.2018 and 7.1.2018 but no paperwork was signed with these two. I was asked a question about my supervisors , supervisors performance , in which I told her I did not feel comfortable answering and was asked at least 7 times in front of others until I politely told her to the truth. From that point on she begin to make life hard for me at work.
On 1/28/2019 I filed a complaint. I did not received confirmation that my complaint was received until 2/14/2019, after following up twice. Outside counsel was hired to handle the case. On 3/1/2019 I met with the outside counsel. I was at that meeting that the investigation would be complete by 3/8/2019 . On 3/28/2019 I followed up with my companies legal department and was told on 3/28/2019 that the investigation would be complete no later than the 4/11/2019. On 4/17/2019 I followed again because no one had followed up with me and was told that the investigation was not complete. I have submitted over 200 pages of documentation to prove that I was one promised the position and not only promised the position but I am also doing the position.
Important notes:
1. I am currently the lowest paid person in the office being told at hire that I was not allowed to negotiate salaries but everyone hired after me was given the privilege to do so ( because I was asked my opinion in their negotiations) and they currently make 5-11k more then me but my workload is much heavier.
2. There are 2 other team members in my same predicament and had been for a long time, once my complaint was received their promotions and pay increases went in within 2 weeks. There was email sent stating " I can't help ( my name) now, because she filed a complaint on me".
2. I am pregnant and I fear they are holding off in hopes I don't come back from maternity leave
I want to know if I am being impatient with the process? If I am not what should I do next?
