I work for a large food service company. I manage a small
account for my company and have 6 employees. I was
recently (last 6 months) transferred to a new account,
where from day one, I have had performance and hostility
issues with one employee. This employee is black and has
made claims (both through a law suit and through company
HR) that I have harrassed him due to his race. This is
untrue and in the meantime he has made several
intimidating gestures (getting in my face and yelling at
me) towards myself and other employees. I am a woman,
which he has said that he has an issue with (me being his
boss) and he has made several remarks to other employees
and client personnel about my sexual orientation. The last
time he physically intimidated me I left the building,
phoned HR and filed a police report. He was suspended by
the company (with pay) and will probably return. I am
afraid, but due to his looming law suit, the company does
not want to go any further. Do I have any recourse since
the company refuses to protect me on this? I have asked
for one of us to be transferred with no response.
