I like this guy, no fluff and straight to the point.

Great advice! Only thing missing that might be helpful is to reinforce with viewers how stressful and time consuming the process is. Going to HR is the first step in what could be a slow, agonizing process that more likely than not ends with unemployment. The higher the risk for the company, the more difficult they’ll make it. It’s intentionally uncomfortable, and it’s hard not to get emotional about it when your livelihood is at stake.

A no BS real lawyer... Thank you for the advice. I was just terminated and this was helpful

Great video. Every time I memorialized a conversation or filed a complaint via email I received a email back stating this is not the appropriate way to handle the situation. As you stated, everything they wanted to be handled via a meeting.

I’ve complained about all that when I served my employer by US Mail hours went down, false write ups, went to Indiana dept of labor hours went down even more, got EEOC involved afterwards two write ups with a final warning then I was taken off the schedule for 18 days, I took that as constructive dismissal leading to wrongful termination, I have text messages, tons of emails pictures, looking for a good employment attorney in Indiana, I had three protected activities in place with this company prior to all this, I have and EEOC meetings coming up December 9, 2024, I want ur help

I work in HR and have always said this. I am transparent with people though I’m like here is the line and if you start saying things where I have to act as an “operative” I will stop you but by in large the role of HR is to mitigate risks for the company. Now if you have good ppl they do advocate for employees and try to ensure internal equity but sometimes their hands are tied too

100% truth...people that say these things are not true have simply never experienced stuff like this...they think HR is "for them" to "protect" the employee...the truth is 100% opposite.. I have seen some good people fired because they was the victims.. I saw the "mean girls" in the dept get a new guy fired only bx he looked and talked just like one of their ex-husband.. Great video!!!

[Dani-mjlh]

Thanks for your expertise…this happens to us everyday. I’ve been working since I was 15, and in 34 years. I have been discriminated against 75 percent of the times and I walked away and let it go….never again💪🏽

Even though I understand this fully, it looks good in court that I went to HR anyway with my cases per the handbook. It's all in the documented emails of my rights being violated. I made copies. I have emailed HR about our unrecorded meetings. Good advice!!!!🎉❤🎉 I have everything I need before they terminate me, if they do.

He just spoke the whole truth and nothing but the truth! I fell out laughing with “SON” Very good video!

I went to Diversity Inclusion and Equity and Business Partner they said they did an investigation and put me on PIP and denied it and I was terminated. EEOC is asking me for a rebuttal now. This is Kings County New York.

[NaydineNaydine]

Just had this happen to me … except they gave the unemployment office the same reason SOOOO those calls are recorded and they have the reason is in writing which I requested a copy that I now have

[virtualreality]

I would like to know if one can use an Affidavit for certain events that occured? If so would the employer have to rebutt with an Affidavit?

Great employee kick back informational video!

[cranke]

This guy is pretty good. Also always ask for a copy of anything you sign at work or don't sign until they agree to provide you a copy.

Straight to the point, subscribed. Thank you

[mauricewells]

I'd say first thing to do is complain using your protected class, in email (personal not work).

Dealing with discrimination in the sense of being accused of things I am not doing any tips, I don’t want to loose my job, but what can I do!

JP is a 100%! Document and save everything. You have to box your employer into a box. Create a concrete narrative and hold them to it! Create legal chaos, you're already halfway out the door.
