My colleague is in trouble

[sunnygro]

I started working for a major corporation 2 years ago. I have a colleague that is being verbally abused and harrassed by her supervisor and the managing director. This woman has worked for this company for 30 years+ and has given her life to them. I've noticed that she doesn't look very well and seems very stressed lately. I told her to make a complaint with HR and that was a year ago. Nothing happened. She is afraid of losing her job and is afraid to do anything, but I feel like she is hurting herself (emotionally, physically) by not taking actions to correct this. Everyone in the office has taken notice. especially lately.

extremely worried

Your coworker needs to file a formal complaint against those who are using unprofessional conduct against her. If no action from HR, she needs to consider filing a complaint against her employer with the EEOC. Good Luck!

presutin's advice is accurate ONLY if the "harassment" is based in a characteristic protected under the law.
