i felt that I had no choice but to resign from my job. i was followed around the hospital by fellow associates, i was defamed which led to me being forced into a demotion. I resigned as a result.
I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, ****. It sounds quite distressing. In Illinois, you might have grounds for a constructive discharge claim if your resignation was due to intolerable working conditions.
Can you tell me if you reported the harassment or defamation to your HR department or any higher authority at your workplace?
yes i have several emails that i sent to my director. in one email, i stated that my manager alluded that the demotion was due to me reporting being followed by fellow associates and complaining about incorrect schedules
It seems like you may have a case for constructive discharge and possibly retaliation. Here are a few important points to consider:
- Document everything: Keep all emails and any other communication that supports your claim.
- Report to EEOC: You can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days of the incident.
- Consult an attorney: To better understand your rights and options, consulting an employment lawyer would be advisable.
