[Educated Latina]

I just recently won my EEO case against some of the worst managers ATF has ever hired.  They lied and stuck together in their joint efforts to win their case.  However, they underestimated an educated Latina!

• I documented everything!
  
• I carried a journal with me at all times.
  
• I recorded conversations and meetings.
  
• I printed my emails.
  
• I collected my own statements.
  
• I had my recordings transcribed.
  
• I was calm, cool and collected.
  
• I stayed professional.
  
• I hired an attorney.
  
• I did my research and never let management get away with anything.

They are not "God" and mean nothing...nothing but a joke!  If you are involved in an EEO battle, do all the above and then hire an attorney.  They will shake in their panties.   Take charge of your situation, don't let it take charge of you.  If you must quit, then quit.

Excellent advice Proconfesso. Every word.

XXXXX - go to the EEOC website Proconfesso cited above, then click 'Federal Sector', and then 'Publications'. Go to MD-110. MD -110 is the handbook that will tell you everything you need to know (except for all the trickery behind the scenes).

In government service, any policy, procedure or personnel action that is discriminatory based on race, gender, etc., can, with a few exceptions, be the subject of a valid EEOC complaint.

I think I might be filing an EEO complaint next week

Where do I start?

Several '"secret / unannounced details" have been handed out to a select few ( no white males). Those people now have an advantage in future promotions because the details are part of their resume. Everyone else was cut out of the loop.

Is this basis for EEO complaint?  They were lateral moves.
