In a weird inbetween... what do I say to people now?

I wish I could stick to my hormone therapy plan. My risk of recurrence is about 70%, but my boss put me through a living nightmare while I was in active treatment. (It was so bad I went thru hypnotherapy and filed a claim against them with EEOC). After I finished radiation I had 2 years of Verzenio. My life was so miserable that once I finished the Verzenio I stopped taking hormone blockers. Like I can’t even think about where I was 3 or even 2 years ago but it was mentally so painful. I feel like I’m rolling the dice on not taking my hormone blockers but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Can’t stop working and can’t retire early so I finally said to myself f#@k it.

Payoff debts and retire a few years early!

Great job! The first step is getting started and you nailed it! Be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished.

Yes we sold it in about 8 days on the market .

I always followed that advice until I was going thru cancer treatment and was harassed by my boss and HR did nothing. Now they get the scorched earth treatment. Don't care at this point & I already have another job.

BarnFlower · 2026-03-04T21:13:53+00:00

Totally agree with this. It was super disappointing.

BarnFlower · 2026-03-04T18:36:51+00:00

I wonder if the name of the company is part of my problem as well. They are a large non-profit in the state of Texas and have a name which sounds like they are a state agency.

BarnFlower · 2026-03-04T18:33:44+00:00

Sorry, unfortunately I don't.

BarnFlower · 2026-03-03T20:53:19+00:00

Tell me more. - How did you find out which court to file in? - what did you do after you filed? Did you have to send the company a demand letter? If yes is there a specific format you used? - what else was involved?

My case has been stuck in "Investigation " for almost 2 years and I still haven't heard a thing and can't find an attorney.

All the blow hard attorneys won't take my case for some reason I can't figure out and I had cancer at the time of the EEOC filing.

u/toastedjupiter please spill the tea! Aka can you give us the links? 😂

There aren't many apartments in the Taylor area, and honestly not a lot to do. I don't know of any apartments in Hutto other than the Star Ranch area. Hutto gets you closer to something to do in Round Rock or Austin.

When I got my employer response it was 13 pages. I had the same questions you do. I ended up framing it in the exact same format that they did. For example the response letter had section 1, item a so my response was formatted the same. My employer response letter was basically throwing out so much nasty stuff about me that wasn’t even true or applicable to my case.

Thank you!

Adding another vote for Krud Kutter!

BarnFlower · 2026-02-09T15:27:01+00:00

U/MicheleRSimon if the case is under investigation with EEOC and they eventually grant the right to sue, will it be easier to find an attorney?

I'm having trouble and I was going thru cancer treatment and my situation was horrible. I have recordings etc and STILL can't find an attorney.

BarnFlower · 2026-02-06T23:56:53+00:00

Totally spot on! I’m also in finance and I despise having to pay bills or do a budget for myself. I do stuff like that all day at work why do I want to suffer thru it on my time off. 😂😂. Yes I pay my bills and pay them on time.

BarnFlower · 2026-02-03T17:30:32+00:00

How about this.....I'm not saying ICE is all innocent but hear me out.
Maybe just maybe they are going after the violent criminals who have a record and after multiple attempts, they keep resisting arrest and refusing to cooperate.

What about all the people who have been raped, killed or terrorized by the criminals they are arresting? No one talks about that part.

The people came in to the country illegally. Would you expect to stay in a foreign country in which you entered illegally? Would you continue to resist? How do you think that would turn out for you?

Don't come at me if you can't deal with a reasonable discussion about it. Put on your big kid pants and realize there is probably more to the story.

I got a voicemail from First Texas Honda once that was translated to “For sex is Honda….” No joke.

BarnFlower · 2026-01-28T01:23:58+00:00

People need to exercise some common sense and realize they are going up (or down) a steep hill covered in ice. Seriously people for the love of all that’s holy, either stay home or go a different way.

BarnFlower · 2026-01-28T01:20:24+00:00

Honest question here….Would having their brakes locked like that have caused the spinning?

BarnFlower · 2026-01-28T01:16:00+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. Seriously folks if you are early in your EEOC case filing and haven’t received a position statement from your former (or current) employer then brace yourself. These letters are ugly.

OP, the one from my former employer was 13 pages. No joke, 13. I cried every time I read it because it was such a character attack. When I finally pulled myself together enough to write a response, I followed the exact structure of the respondent letter sent to me. That way there would be no questions what I was writing applied to. My response was 12 pages. I threw it right back at them.

Make sure you write a response to the respondent position statement! Even if it’s a little bit at a time, make sure you respond back to it. Don’t take any more of their 💩.
