13. "finally being investigated by the EEOC" GO, girl!!

How is it going so far? What do you think will be the end result?

I wish I'd had the guts to go to the EEOC with some of my stuff in my prior life. I remember one case where my (blonde, white female) boss sent me e-mails telling me how fabulous I was while she was behind my back going to HR every chance she got complaining about me and trying to get me fired. Because of her craven ineptness and stupidity, HR eventually created some kind of measure that you could not fire an employee without having DOCUMENTED PROOF that you had spoken to them about any deficiencies they may have and trying to rectify them. How effed up that something this basic and grade-school worthy has to be made into company policy because of how immature/unprofessional/obviously unsuited to be managing anybody you are?

I wanted to go to the EEOC over this but my mother talked me out of it at the time. To this day, I wish I had and this was damn near 10 years ago. You get even more props from me for seeing this through with the EEOC. Do you think you'll be able to get some justice?
