My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California. At my job in a law office for 3 1/2 years and have had trouble with our receptionist since the inception. I suppose she doesn't like my essence; she will not talk to me, will not acknowledge me, answer me, dumps my mail on my counter from a height of about 4 feet, shoves packages in my stomach, avoids me, has shoved the headset of my phone in my face when I dropped a call one day when I had to answer the phones, she refuses to cooperate with me, ie, I ask her to support me on a project and she says no so I am stuck being overloaded. I complained to our in house HR person an attorney, who said on three occasions that she was wrong and that he would "talk to her". Talking to her without ever any consequences only makes her mad-on for me even more pronounced so I just take it and take it and take it from her. Last Thursday, one final thing happened and I had my meltdown when I left the office and almost got killed on the interstate in bad traffic because I could not see thru my tears. I saw my doctor on Monday and she put me out of work for two weeks and I had to email the office and tell them why. They had the main HR person from out of state contact me today and they are not taking any responsibility and are insinuating that because I hardly ever deal with the problems, the stress is self-inflicted. Last time I complained it was mentioned in my review that when I come to them with inter-personal problems, the amount of time they have to expend dealing with these issues takes away from time they could be billing clients, so that tells me that they don't want to hear me . . . I think they might let me go over this. Where do I turn?
