Okay. Let's cut to the chase. I completely get that it's annoying. I've had an internet stalker as well. But what DAMAGES has she cost? Have you lost a job? Been demoted? Had your marriage break up? The law can't compensate you without damages. Don't just avoid her. BLOCK her. She's not going...

I think Tax Counsel has already answered that question if you review his responses.

I wasn't asking why you thought she needed to be investigated. I was asking why, instead of opening a case against her, you wanted the case against Watts re-opened.

This thread is from 2022, reopened by a spammer

I still want to know why it is so important that the case against Watts be re-opened, as opposed to opening a new case against Kessinger.

I concur with Z.

Just so you know: In a previous job, I was the one who did the in-house discrimination investigations. I also was paid to teach employers how to recognize illegal discrimination when it occurred. As should be obvious, I know nothing of your situation other than what you have told me. BASED ON...

However, neither law requires that existing employees all be given raises when another employee is hired at a higher rate due to market changes.

Fine. Clearly you've made up your mind. But do us a favor. When you come back to tell us how wrong we all were and how big an award you won from your EEOC claim, make sure you wait long enough to make it believable. Those of us who deal with this as a matter of our jobs have been amused by those...

For the reasons I've been attempting to explain to you; the job market and the economy were in different places when I started in 2010, than when they started in 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively. And that female co-worker you're not including in your complaint? You'd better, because you just...

Cleo, here is what I am talking about. I have been in my current position for 13 years. I am at the present time the team leader and I do additional duties over and above what the rest of my team does, so I get paid more. However, there are 3 members of my team who have been in place for 1...

If they were hired after you, that's not definitive proof of gender discrimination by a very long shot. Read my first post and also retic's.

The EEOC is only concerned with inequities that are based in a characteristic protected by law. They are not interested in anything that is not related to issues related to race, religion, national origin etc. If you're going to play the EEOC card, you'd better have some valid and supportable...

Tax can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if there was now sufficient evidence to try someone else for the same crime, the solution would not be to reopen the case on Watts, but to open a case on the other individual.

And we have long since wandered away from the OP's question, which was answered and acknowledged by him/her back in post #8. Any further discussion can be taken offline, or a new thread opened to that topic.

It is a sad fact of life, very common and yes, legal, that often the first one in is the lowest paid. As the market changes, new people who come in often come in at higher rates, and the employer is not legally obligated to equalize the pay. What the pay equity laws require is not that everyone...

This is primarily a US website and the laws of the US and Canada are not the same; in fact, in some areas they are very different indeed. We have one, and only one, expert in Canadian law here and she doesn't post often, though I will tag her. You may want to look for a Canadian forum in the...

Damn, got me! Mea Culpa, thanks for the catch.

Lainey, I edited your post to remove the names and their email addresses - that is for your protection. I have no objection to your PM'ing the information to the OP if you want to do it that way but not out in public, okay?

Yes. Your online postings can be used against you.
