it took over a year for the EEOC to assign an investigator to the case...it's been over two years since i was fired. it has been a long process, and i am not sure the reward can make up for that. however, in this economy, i felt i had no choice because: i still haven't found a job. honestly, if i could have moved on, i probably would have, just to be done with it. but i really feel i did not have a choice, i need to be compensated, not only for what actually happened, but also what has not happened since their illegal action. if they had given me severance, i might have passed on the lawsuit. but they tossed me into the street without any regard for the GREAT work i did there. that's the fng rub. it pisses me off to no end that incompetents are still working there while i was fired for reasons other than competence.
i am not sure what is going to happen. the investigator needs to talk to witnesses in order to prove my claim, and i could only get two to cooperate. i think my retaliation claim is solid, but the discrimination case is shakier. i don't think i will get what i deserve, but i will recoup something. however, i am very happy i brought the feds into their little plantation. nothing like shining the light on roaches and watching them scurry 
as for your situation...if it was meant to happen, it would have. and if it happens again, by all means do it.
