Here's my situation: I have proof that my Employer discriminated against me due to Ableism and Sexism.
I already consulted a lawyer and have been told it is a very strong case.
My Lawsuit's focus is gonna be burnout. I work in Social Services, and some of the things they did have led to me seriously considering leaving my line of work all together. I've had moments in time where I outright considered offing myself or outright almost BSed my day through due to the burnout.
I accessed multiple hospital resources that help people in my line of work, which will be used as proof. Completed 1 program at 1 hospital. Started 1 at another hospital, had to fire that guy because he did something rather rude, so now accessing therapist number 3. I also have a therapist through my wife who is well aware of things. Pretty sure I'll be able to get documentation from 3 that my burnout is very very real. So basically 4 different therapists accessed total. 2 of 4 outright were not believing the things I told them have been happening.
Recently I started documenting things that my manager does that makes my burnout worse. To add to my evidence that I will be using against them..
I quit part of my role, telling my manager that I won't be doing overtime shifts at a program due to my knowledge of certain things that makes me uncomfortable to work there. I still have a full-time role that I am very much still doing.
Really I'm posting here looking for suggestions/tips/ideas on things to do to help build my case.
The plan is to hire Lawyer before I'm ready to leave.
Right now I'm biding my time until then and using the time to collect more evidence for my lawsuit.
I'm hoping that my 2 weeks notice will specifically say something in the meaning of:
I'm giving you two weeks notice, and by the way, I'm suing you. With Lawyer CCed on the email. They fire me over it, then that goes in my evidence pile.
I'd appreciate any and all thoughts, suggestions or ideas.
Thank you folks 🙂
