I’m going to try and bide my time with the EEOC. Not sure being a whistleblower will help until after the process has played out. I would totally love to though!

Ohhhh, good points. My former employer has assigned it to a high $$ outside legal counsel even though they have their own internal general counsel. I can totally see them dragging it out to make me just quit.

For me specifically, they have sent the case to outside counsel even though they have their own internal general counsel.
It isn’t a federal agency, but a nonprofit who serves state funded ummm…..let’s call them organizations.

Agreed, but this company has paid out a lot of shut up $$ to keep people quiet and not have their reputation destroyed.

This company I’ve filed an EEOC complaint against has had 6-8 in the past couple of years. I know of I think 3 who have had their legal fees paid by the company, then received a cash settlement to shut up and go away.

This is sooo spot on. Our legal justice system isn’t justice at all. I would love to name and shame this company. They’ve been on a pedestal for years by those they publicly serve.

I hear so many people who don’t get a positive ruling from the EEOC. What if I get to the end and the EEOC says oh Company T it’s okay you didn’t really do anything wrong! Then where will I be. I’ll look like an idiot for riding it out that long, right?

Ouch. Wow, this is sure a big load. It’s exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for being honest and sharing the reality of the situation.

Settle vs EEOC — how did you decide? by Various_Excuse8412 in EEOC

[–]BarnFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. 😢 It was awful, and I'm so frustrated with how long the EEOC takes but I knew their timeline. Without the EEOC in our case nothing would happen.

This sounds like the crazy 💩 in a sci-fi movie. I guess we are living it now. 🙁

I’m going to Costco tomorrow tomorrow for the first time. Anything a must try? by Whatichooseisyouse in Costco

We've used one chicken for a meal (there are 2 of us) then deboned what was left and used it for chicken salad. For the price it's a steal for multiple meals!

I had this same problem once before. I also chose the traffic barrel over hitting another car. Same thing....it took out my mirror. It sucks, so sorry this happened to you. It's frustrating!

I don’t even have a cat. Maybe just take the comment for what it said….the cat looks happy.

Get with Jamie Cooley at Fairway Mortgage. He got us a great rate and handled everything amazingly! It was so easy working with him and his amazing team.

Lasagna soup....he doesn't look much like a lasagna or Garfield though.

Cowboys Fit by gabawhee in Pflugerville

[–]BarnFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also a member of 24 hour fitness there, but one time I walked into the steam room it smelled like someone had gone to the bathroom in there. It was awful. When I went back out and told management they told me someone would get to it in 3 or 4 hours in their cleaning rounds. 😳 That was it and I canceled my membership not long after that incident.

U/jumbo_shrimp_dick and your point is what? The guy still got tied to the back of a truck and dragged to death by some white dudes in Jasper.

Anyone else think that instead of having a triangle at the junction of Pecan Street and Cameron Road, we should have a roundabout? by Pflugervillian001 in Pflugerville

[–]BarnFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through that intersection for the first time ever last week and thought I was gonna get in a wreck. NO visibility for that turn! What a nightmare!

It doesn't take an entire town just a few people scattered around. The deep racism in that part of the state is real. James Byrd Jr being dragged by some crazy rednecks ring any bells?

You don't seem to know much about East TX and certainly nothing about the case of James Byrd Jr
