It is very compelling that the federal agencies are responsible for investigating charges of discrimination against them. The EEO in my former workplace was not employee friendly at all. It was very clear that the director of the agency was in charge of the EEO personnel. When an issue arose regarding a sexual harrassment offense there, it was quickly and quietly swept under the rug and those who made the complaint were told that we need assertiveness training. I was told repeatedly when I began my job at this particular federal agency that there was zero tolerance for sexual harrassment. This was all talk. When I was terminated in july of 2010 I made sure to sidestep the EEO office at my place of work and headed directly for Washington. The court hearing was held 4 weeks ago and a decision is pending. There are certain to be some changes in the way the EEO does business at this workplace :)

It’s about time the federal agencies are being scrutinized. I was a federal employee and left because there was was this “good old boys” thing and as
a woman was not taken seriously when I made suggestions in a meeting. It was emotionally draining and I started to develop health problems it seems like when one higher level employee gets into trouble, they get moved to a differenct department or agency of the government.

I want to thank DiversityInc. for beginning what will be a very revealing journey into this country’s federal agencies and the way they are permitted to treat their employees.
