Well.

Well. The rest of the story. I filed an EEOC for not receiving a promotion, that I was qualified for. Fast forward, after 10 months of harassment, hostile work environment, being placed on a "Performance Improvement Plan", (after 10 years of exceeds expectations), I have been terminated.

I didn't see this happening. I guess I should have expected it. Scorched Earth. Now, unemployed, zero job references, over age 60, after a long professional career. I can't afford to retire, I know what my prospects are...well, it was not a happy ending.

I filed in court, but it could be years before I see anything. And it will only be backpay, if I win.

    Well that sucks. I am very sorry for what you have gone through. What type of work do you do? Maybe we can help.

    Thanks. I am pretty sure I have to change field. At this point, administrative work is fine for me. Just health insurance and pay bills.
