I need to vent....

[AKay]

I am beefing big time with my job. They lied to me for over a year for a position that would have been a raise/promotion for me. The place I work for is very very racist and a govt agency to boot. I don't think they thought I was Rican when I interviewed for the job. Within my first few months I was threatened with my job twice over me doing my job right but would expose my manager.

He started treating me like shit, cursing at me, calling me stupid, and screaming at me in front of my peer managers. I complained to HR but they told me it sounds like he's an asshole but he is an equal opportunity asshole. I told them I just want that treatment to stop.

Fast Forward to a position opening up in the department that they posted externally instead of internally. I applied for it anyway, my dept tells me they dont know what level it will be until they see resumes which is straight bullshit. HR tells me its the same level I am. Then I am reorganized into the group that the position would be in and given a new lessor role.

In my first meeting with my new manager, I am told to back out of the position as it is the same level as me and no raise for a lateral move. I am also now in the same group so it would be a moot point. Plus they want me to be on the committee to hire the person. I acquiesce and back out of the position. We end up interviewing people that used to work for me for a subcontractor and other external candidates, but my manager and his manager tell me they want the candidate that worked for the subcontractor. We end up hiring him and I later find out they gave him a position 1 level higher than me and paying him $30K more than me.

At this point I complain to the Federal EEOC and now we have been going tit for tat with accusations, micromanaging, retaliation towards me etc trying to push me out.

The agency continues to try to discredit my name, say I have performance problems etc anything mudslinging to make me look bad and so they can win their case.

It frustrates me and really hurts me at times. Dont know what to do and Lawyers only seem to care about taking on easy to win/settle cases.
Since the agency has their own on payroll lawyers they will just motion and paper this case for years before trial.

Just dont even know what to do!
