Kicked out of work for wearing kilt

**Michael Flemming** · 10th April 10, 10:09 AM

I know from some of the mandatory trainings I've had to sit through at work that if you use "transy", "sexual harrasment" and "creating a hostile work environment" in a polite sentence, it is **guaranteed**!!! to get your managers attention. All managers in the US these days are aware of the legal issues that can result from this sort of behavior.

Using the proper code words is a way to let them know that you know too.

After working 33 years for the same bank where I have had my experience working for bosses like yours, here's my advice:

1) If you don't plan to make a career of this place, then go to the boss that gave you permission and rat out the lower-level boss; or...
2) If you plan to make a long career of this place, then drop it, because if you complain (and win or lose), your immediate boss will come up with many ways to get back at you that won't be traceable to this incident.

They cut my hours so I am not working this week, and will talk to my manager when I go in next, till then it's on hold, however, I have applied for a security position at a local firm here in Madison, if I get it by bye bookstore

I .ike the way you think, Chelsea. Can you imagine the look on the shift supervisor's face? Especially if he happens to be the only one available to help Scotcop with his purchase....

Congratulations on the bairn, by the way. Hope you're both healthy!

Regards,

Brian

Bye, bye, bookstore might be the best for you, but don't let that rascal get away with it. I am all for forgiveness but he'll just take it out on some other victim.

So... your hours got cut?
Did everyone elses hours get cut, or just yours? Or maybe even just the hours of some folks who may not have been kowtowing properly?
Seems to me to be added grounds for an EEOC complaint.
This seems to be too timely to be just coincidence.
Don't go down without a fight. Do not let them get away with this. They are counting on you to give up. You can win!
