49. File a Police Report

Sun May 9, 2021, 07:21 PM

May 2021

Get it on the record

Even if the police, HR, and whomever calls it an exaggeration

If you file a report then it is on the record and they cannot:

-- retaliate by firing, demoting, etc
-- refuse a FMLA
-- ignore the entire episode

You may be able to sue for damages.

They may see the light and change their ways.

They may offer you a buyout/severance package.

You must get the law on your side. Hiring an attorney on retainer is a good start. Filing a police report is even better. Ask your attorney about it. They will most likely back you 100% in filing a police report.

Also file an OSHA report. Get the Feds involved.
