3. Retaliation For Making A Sexual Harassment Complaint Is Illegal     (26-NOV-07)
   

   I was terminated from my job due to a sexual harassment issue. At first the company was on my side, or I thought, an investigation was done and the doctor was fired (one week after he started). Then the people that I thought were on my side (managers, supervisors, etc.), started changing my job around. Co-workers started being rude and not talking to me. Then I started getting into trouble with complaints about my performance. My position at the clinic where I worked changed and my supervisor started sending me to other clinics sometimes as far away as 2 hours from my house. Everywhere I went everyone knew about all the incidents that had happened and I was referred to as "so your the one." All this has left me as feeling very uneasy as I was never to speak about the incident again. I feel my reputation as a nurse is ruined, what can I do?

   A meeting was held with upper staff members and myself concerning sexual harassment filed against me by an assistant manager at my workplace. The meeting resulted in her being transferred to a different location with a weeks pay deducted, but keeping her title as assistant manager. I was assured that I wouldn't, and shouldn't, have any problems from anyone including the assistant manager. I was told by them that their lawyers evaluated the information complied during the investigation, and concluded that she needed to be fired to protect the company from further matters. They didn't fire her. Weeks later she returned to the store where I was still working, with manager not asking her to leave and not to return, nor did she report that the assistant manager that had been removed came to the store several times while I was working. I didn't want to cause a scene so I didn't say anything to her about being there. But it made me feel very uncomfortable, unsafe, irritated, and angry.

8. Fired For Reporting Sexual Harassment Situation     (20-FEB-06)
