Hello, I am a federal employee and have brought an EEO complaint for gender discrimination against my agency.
The evidence is pretty strong for me because they selection committee for the promotion has repeatedly said that their decision was based entirely on "what they knew" about applicants, and they never reviewed any documented credentials or conducted interviews. So there is zero documentation. And I was miles ahead of the male candidate who was selected for the position, by far.
Anyway, long story short, is that the investigation is now underway. I really want to settle this, but the only thing I want is that job. It wasn't just any old job; it was THE job I wanted. They can't take it from the guy who got it, so what does that leave for me as options? I don't want money. The only thing I wanted they can't give me. I have been sick with stress over this and want it resolved.
