Boss called a meeting concerning oldSexual Harassment issue

[Lamplight]

For the past month, I've encountered serval problems at work. First my bosses were sending out department wide emails about my lack of communication concerning a POS system that has the capability to crash ever 20 minutes. This system is currently under development and is not in use company wide yet.

2) My schedule was changed with 1 days notice. I have 4 kids, I need more notice in order to rearrange everyone's schedule at home. 3) my crucial work time is now when I have to get my kids ready and off to school. I have no one who can help me this. I managed to make it work out so they decided to add more to it to make it harder to accomplish. My daughter is now helping me with the work stuff so I can achieve the goals. They don't and won't know about this. 4) the boss will chew me out about trivial stuff concerning my new assignment such as an email template that our department has used for 4 years. It was good enough yesterday what's the concern now. 4)My boss has scheduled a meeting with me and the guy that was sexually harassing me 9 months ago, that is no longer an issue. So why now? It's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. What is he trying to gain from this meeting? How and what should I say in this meeting? I was planning on saying that I don't have experience on a matter like this and that I need to reflect upon this meeting before proceeding and leave the meeting. Thoughts?? Pretty sure I'm on my way out the door but just want to make sure that things are covered on the way out to protect myself legally and financially.

If you think your schedule change is in retaliation for complaining about sexual harassment consult a lawyer.

 

If everything is fine between you & your nemesis now tell that to the boss at the meeting. Point out the behaviors you didn't like but praise the fact that they have stopped.

 

If you really can't deal with the new schedule & it was changed to punish you, start looking for a new job but in the mean time as for an accommodation but you better have an actual plan or good business reasons why what you want is better for the company not just you. They are under no obligation to accommodate you.

I agree with Donnivain. If they are trying to warn you or terminate you, they will try to make you sign an agreement not to sue them, basically, and might offer you money as well. This raises some opportunity if they offer you money. Tell them you will take the document with you to show to your attorney and do NOT sign it. If they really want to not worry about the prior claim or wrongful termination, they very well may offer you a sum of money that might make it worth it considering you're not happy with the schedule there now anyway. But you should not sign anything there in the office and you should let an attorney look at whatever you sign.

 

Do not let them intimidate you by saying you're in one of the states where they can fire without cause. That does not apply to discrimination claims of harassment, age, gender, etc. That's for a lawyer to say.

 

Otherwise, go into the meeting as if you expect the best, not you expect the worst. Just don't sign it and be sure you put your hands on that paper before you tell them you're not signing it so they don't keep you from showing it to an attorney.

 

It may not be about any of that. It may be about reorganizing something. Good luck.

 

It won't cost that much just to have an attorney look it over.
