Which does not make the OP's premise any less flawed.

I am heterosexual, and my preferred pronouns are she/her. A co-worker of mine is a lesbian, and her preferred pronouns are also she/her. Please explain how having this posted under our signatures says anything about our sexual preferences or is bringing sex into the workplace.

I hope she wins. You can't have it both ways; either a fetus is a human being or it isn't. If it is, then she is in the right (and we won't even go into the question of child support if the mother is unmarried). If it's not then...

At a former position there was an all-company job that no one wanted to do, but everyone complained about how it was being done. It was a once-a-year project and I was on the project committee by default as the HR manager, along with the COO and the head of operations. Each year we would send...

Here's where we have two potential laws that might or might not have been violated, Jack; FMLA and the ADA. The DOL oversees one; the EEOC the other. On the basis of the information we have here, I couldn't say if one, the other, both or neither was violated. Nor should she have posted any more...

And, I think with that response, this is a thread that has the potential for trouble. Since the poster has now received a polite, well explained, well reasoned and legally accurate response, I don't think we need to provide the temptation any longer.

The law does not give one hoot who is making more money than whom. There is absolutely no law anywhere in the US that says someone working for you cannot make more money than you do, or that wages have to be based on seniority.

Everyone's medical situation is different and the law does not say that they can't ask for your information unless they've also asked everyone else. Nor does it say that if you ask one person for additional information you have to ask everyone. The facts of each person's medical situation have...

The employer is allowed to ask for sufficient medical information to support the need for FMLA. They cannot ask for your entire medical history, but they can ask for enough to determine that FMLA is still necessary. It is not unreasonable to want confirmation that there has been no change to...

Let's get the cast of characters straight. Who is "the FMLA representative"? Someone in your department? Someone in HR? Someone at the office of a third-party administrator who handles the leaves? Someone at your doctor's office? Do I understand correctly that you had a previous FMLA...

And we should help you evade the law because...?

How many hours the employee works is entirely a decision by the employer. While CA is one of the two states that puts a cap on how much overtime an employee can be required to work, 70 hours per week is well within the limit. Whether additional compensation is due, is determined by whether the...

If you are a third year law student, at an accredited law school, you are no doubt aware that many if not most law schools offer law clinics where senior law students can, under the guidance of their professors, get experience providing free or low cost law advice to those who cannot afford it...

Ah. In MA, when and where I was a licensed notary, notaries did not provide that service.

There's no reason to have your signature notarized. All notarization means is that the notary has confirmed that you are who you say you are. It doesn't give any legal import to the contents of the document.

quite right

OP - Original Poster - you

Do I have a case to sue for discrimination or how they treated me at all? None that I can see.

I am an American citizen born outside the US and with dual citizenship also. My friend, you brought this entire mess on yourself. You couldn't have celebrated your birthday a day early? Believe it or not, I also have a mid-summer birthday. I work full time and where I work, only two people can...
