In the last several months there has been a series of event that have made me question the work ethics, laws and characters in which I find myself in at my job. it was a subtle yet visible change that many other coworkers high lite as Shady, Favoritism and the big no no Discrimination.
The time @ my job has been a rodeo of a ride and in the last 6 years I have gained much training, knowledge and experience to perform my duties for the company but @ the same time doubt, fear and emotional stress.
So here is the scenario that I feel supports my claim; A Columbian Engineer whom I supported work for transferred out and shortly after I was demoted and replaced by a non experienced employee. This all happened in two days. Day 1: we had Pre Testing for a client which failed and ruffled the departments involved in the preparation, which turned an ugly hand against my Inspection process, a big hoot arose and I provided all supporting documentation that proved we were not ready for the client. Day 2. I took my son to his graduation, management and supervisors conspired without my presence so that I could speak and I walked into a demotion the day after. I was told to not see it as a demotion but as a way to get out of the stressful position and i got written up. But as soon as I hit the shot floor the talk of the shop said different. I was being told I was on the cutting board.
A week or two went by and on a random Monday I was called into my bosses office and was given a lateral move to a new department. Two week into the job I noticed I did not have the necessary tools as my equal co worker did. These were a Company truck to travel afar, a Company lap top to communicate, document, open emails, a company credit card for those Business customer lunches. I noticed this right off the hand and always felt a company should equipped there workers with the tool needed. Oddly the co worker with my same title and who worked for the company for only 3 months was now more equipted to do the same job as I?
It was on Thursday Sept 8th 2011 @ 4pm that I was asked to go home and to return @ 9pm because the job was on a tight schedule so I agreed to do so. I stayed to 6 19am that Friday Sept 9th 2011. I text my manager on my way home a 1hour drive exhausted; Friday Sept 9th 2011 6:29am " Im heading home, you do know I just put in 22hrs. My coworker can swing the next wouldn't you say?" His reply was; I will let you know thanks for last night.That after noon my manager called me and asked me to be in between 6 &7pm and gave me no work schedule. He said he was surprised that I stayed to 6:19am and by that time I had already about 68hours for the week. Friday night 5:44pm I text him "Im on my way. Im not going to be able to pull nights like this here on after. I have little ones a wife whom I cannot bare to leave at them witching hours. I had a clear understanding that you would flex the two of us. Night-shift sucks its is not for me. I then sent that text to our boss. So I started that Night @ 6pm, tired and nausea's I left @ 3:30AM. I realize I was not given a choice to work the night shift I felt if it was for this one tank as explained then it woudl be suitable for the both of us to split the need to nights.
Now I am in a situation where my manager says he needs to know why I left at 2am and why did work not get done. I flutter him with text stating I left @ 3:30am all the items that got closed, I called him to as him why couldn't te co workerpull a double like I did, He hung up on me there after, text me to report to the boss @8am Monday and that was no longer needed out there.
This is when I felt Discriminated, I am Hispanic I have worked for this company for 6years, an employee with no experience was now more equipped not sharing the schedule I was and clearly not being ask to do what I am. Another employee with no experience was now doing project management assignments who also has not even 1 yr of service
