I was a manager of a payday loan service. I am not a 22 year old “hottie”. I am in fact a 43 year old mother of three who happens to have an Associates degree in Human Resources and a Bachelor’s in Organizational Management.

In July, I began a new job with the company I have been with for 16 years. My new boss started the same day as me.

I was sexually harassed by a man, my boss, whose license plate read The Big Dog. His wife was the HR Manager. He was my husband’s boss as well. Sounds pretty incestuous I know and there was certainly a conflict of interest. This is probably why I didn’t report it for months. I just […]

I applied for employment with the ******* School System as a Custodial Supervisor. My husband is a 100% Disabled Vietnam Combat Veteran so I was entitled to a 10 point Spouse Preference. The School Board refused to grant the 10 point preference, because I am a female, and I was told the school […]

I am a 38 year old female that got a job selling high line automobiles. I needed a substantial income to be able to afford keeping my home and was quickly the “top sales person” making over a hundred thousand dollars my first year.

I got a […]

I was at a conference for work at a casino with several co-workers. A few of us were in the lounge of the casino having a few drinks together. I decided that it was late and I wanted to go to bed.
At that time a supervisor decided to do the same and […]
