Job harassment?
|
My immediate manager has been harassing me for contacting the President of our company with a very valid complaint against my manager. The complaint was that my manager has chastised me for 1) sending my resume' to HR and the company President for a promotion, instead of him and 2) When I found another job, I sent my letter of Resgnation to HR, and the President of the company as well. I have 2 weeks left at this job. My mamnager has harassed by cutting my over time hours I was scheduled for, and verbally. I stated that sending that documentation to HR is a common practice in corporate America, and he states otherwise. Everything should go through him. The reason I have collected that he wants things this way, is becasue he is a shady character and does not want HR or the Present to know what goes on in our division. Additionally, Id liek to point out, our weekend shifts are 8 hours, no lunch, no break. Which organization can help with a complaint against the company?
Additional Details
Update: the reason I was given for having my hours cut, is that I missed one call on my Overtime shift ( this is a 24/7 corporate tech Help Desk). I was alone and missed 1 single call. However, a male that works with me, missed a call last night and has not been taken off of over time, and has serveral write ups for falling asleep on the job. Yet, I should not be on a shift alone, for missing one call, when i was busy assisting a cleint.

Melissa dear, since you are leaving your work I suggest that you do not rock the boat anymore as you would need job references in the future. Accept the fact that there are people who are a butt hole. Just keep everything in stride, I suggest that you reconcile with your manager and have a graceful exit with your company, this is to your advantage also, remember, you might need their help in the future. Call it an investment if you will. You have to turn around a situation into a win-win one.
Good luck

Bad managers are not illegal.
And leaving the entire company with a lawsuit/formal complaint can, and probably will, come back to haunt you in the future when you need a reference. Contrary to popular belief, there are NO laws in the states that say a former employer cannot give a valid, documented reference, even if it is "bad".
From personal experience, both my own and from candidates that were denied jobs, do NOT use your exit as the time to complain about the company. It almost ALWAYS will bite you in the butt.
Leave professionally, and it leaves a door open. You never know when you may need it.
As for the complaint, it does not appear that your manager has broken any laws, so there really is nowhere you could file this complaint.
As for the Better Business Bureau, it is a consumer protection organization, not an employee relationship company. Not to mention that it is primarily made up of companies that have paid to belong. So, it may make you feel better to rant to them, they can't do anything about it. Nor do they care. |

Possibly try EEO within the company (should you have one) or state. Every company by federal law has to provide a break within a 6 hr+ work day. Look into a 'legal aid' in your area or city. In my area the consultation is free-depending on your predicament.
Hope that helps. |

Take your evidence to your state's wage and hour board, and to the local newspaper/radio/tv station 'watchdog'. |

Better business bureau, even call your states local department of labor, and the national labor relations board, osha can help too.
I am sorry but i do not agree with all of these answers that keep saying to not worry about it because it will cause a problem in the future possibly. This is a problem that millions of employees face everyday. Harassment, discrimination, and witholding of hours to be worked. There are some people on this answer list that obviously do not want to work problems out just turn around and take it in the a** for another two weeks. if there is a problem with managment do not just ignore it, you must raise your voice or it WILL get worse. |
