Report Descrimination

[startingover2016]

I need to get as many answers to make my choice.

i'm reporting an employer who i worked for and gave blood, sweAt but sometimes tears. I worked about 3 to 4 years a at this rehabilitation center were the work was rough. The patients were paralyzed and some times had brain injury. I was Perdiem and the pay $15.00 for necessary work to help the patient. I have add and naturally very hyper=energetic, always did my round, never ignored a light of patient. I was very helpful and young . This was about estimate 9 years. Im not bipolar but i am unique with a very kind heart. I have a psychiatrist and psychologist. Early in my life i was told i was bipolar took meds and they caused me to try suicide etc The bottomline whatever was going on then honestly came from being young, stress because i was a single mom with going to school. So yes iwas hyper and a really good CNA. I wasnt perfect was late slso i worked 16 hrs sraight.

I applied recently but was told no for an administrative position. I i was told no.

the recruiter mentioned the name the high ranking nurse. Over a month went y and i called the recruiter back for a RN position. I asked to forward reference letter and added info. Could you believe the recruiter said no because theindividual making the decision remembers me. Insisted but then all became cleat. i was judged for add realized not onlyhow iwas paid back but my hupermess only made me and me mae

Ditto on the post being very difficult to understand.

Did the person you talked to say, we won't give you an interview because we heard from our source that you have ADD? If that happened, it is discrimination.

If she didn't say that and just said, "she remembered you." Then you should find out what she said. If she said unflattering, untrue things that prevented you from getting a job, you might still have a case against her, but it would not be discrimination. It would be libel or slander. In that case, it might be worth a cease and desist letter from an attorney, but probably not worth suing.

In any case, move on. There are other jobs.

Seriously? There is no case for anything here. A bunch of 2nd/3rd-hand he-said-she-said does not equal a lawsuit.

Sheesh! Everyone's so easily offended these days and so quick to claim discrimination:sarcastic:

I also don't like to point out poor writing skills, but these posts are actually almost incoherent. It speaks very poorly about our education system if someone can obtain a Bachelor's degree in spite of such a clear language/writing deficit. Perhaps the OP's first language is not English and her degree was obtained in her home country. If not, I'm baffled.

I also agree that the OP has provided no evidence of any kind of illegal job discrimination.

Her tale illustrates very well that our most valuable commodity is our reputation. People will remember our past behavior. Even if we go on to change, it's very hard to erase a bad impression. It's usually best in that case to move on to an entirely new environment, where we have a clean slate. Of course, if we have burned bridges badly, getting that good job reference may remain a stumbling block for a long time.

Yes, seriously, if someone lies about you to a potential employer you can sue them for slander or libel.

I'm not saying that happened. I don't know if it happened. I don't think the OP knows either.

How do you know the person didn't have notes or records available? If you made such a big impression on someone, then clearly the issues were pretty big and perhaps it is you who is misremembering.

It's not not discrimination unless you can prove they didn't give you the interview because of a protected reason. A history of showing up late, calling out, and behavior is not a protected reason. Move on and just cross this place off your list of potential employers- they've clearly crossed you off the list of potential hires.

This is is why people need to be mindful of how they present themselves to an employer. It's not just getting the job; it's maintaining the job and keeping a positive record.

^^^^THIS.

It doesn't matter what you think about whether you're safe or out. The umpire will let you know. In this case, s/he has.
