My question involves a cases of discriminations.
Hi, recently there were a few promotions given at my place of employment. I’m the oldest employee here, (that is, I’ve been here longer than all the others). Recently the top head person of the department I work in, wanted to get my views as well as those of my coworkers in regards to the filling of these positional slots. The slots were filled by others that have less time than myself. While communicating with the top head person, he mention that my former supervisor had told him that he and I had spoken about these positions and that I had mention to him that I did not want to take on this Supervisory role nor the role of the Coordinator. Now here’s the catch, this individual nor myself have never , ever approached one another to even discuss the possibility of me moving into one of these position. He intentionally took upon himself to make this false statement to prevent me from becoming the supervisor or the coordinator of this department. Once again, I have never told him nor spoke with him in regards to either position. Let me say, being the only minority in this department and having gone to HR in the past about this person bias attitude towards me. I believed this person has step over the line and directly discriminated against me. Could you please help by telling me how to go about pursuing this matter further, think you?
