I am thinking about seeing an attorney and seeing if I have any successful legal recourse.

I filed a complaint with HR at the time detailing everything this fucker said and did. Then since a month after I returned I endured constant workplace harassment by the new manager of the department - that he promoted - after my falsified bad review. Please note the new manager of the department and I have a rivalry that goes way back at least 10 years to another place where we worked together. It is not fair that these assholes are promoted when 1. They both engaged in workplace bullying and harassment, 2. Constant lying, multiple cases of libel, slander, and defamation of character, not to mention this promoted manager was calling in sick once a week for over a year. "You will be the first write-up of my career" the manager I complained about said. Well then "you will be the first lawsuit of my career" is what I wanted to say. What prompted the 10 page complaint I wrote against this fucker was when he bragged to me about having so many complaints but said "everyone comes around to see that *I* AM RIGHT." |

[ link to www.dailymail.co.uk] Quoting: KickinIt I was on James Island off the coast of Charleston when Hugo hit. We were near Folly Beach which had houses complete picked up and moved into the center of streets by the oceanfront. Between us and Folly were multiple tiny islands that were alligator refuges. Alligators and snakes came in from the low country swamps and tore up some in-ground swimming pools. The one across the street from us had two gators that could not find the steps up from the pool right off, but eventually did and roamed around the street. My husband was with two other men that were clearing the street from trees that had fallen over so emergency vehicles could come through if they had to. One guy was so close to a gator that he almost sawed through its jaw. That gator ran so fast but it was a close call. I don't know what the wildlife is like near Houston but I sure hope people wading around in the water as we have seen through broadcasts are wearing very heavy boots. You have no idea what you're going to step on when the water's four feet high on your street. I can only add that copperheads are more aggressive than water moccasins which stayed low on the ground but the rattlers climbed whatever was there; trees, your gutters, telephone poles and generally stayed out of the way. We heard guns going off from people shooting snakes throughout the day. Last Edited by -Haun- on 08/27/2017 01:47 PM |
