Q: Is it legal for my boss to discriminate against me because he is having problems with his landlord whi is my father?
My boss for the past several months has started singling me out and telling people not to tell me certain things. When I ask him about this his response and in writing was. "You are Randy's daughter." Randy is his landlord and there having disagreements. So since hes is having problems with my father he is taking it out on me. Is that illegal discrimination?
My boss has removed me from all management meetings and I'm no longer included in management dinners, that we have from time to time. There was a discussion with whether we are keeping the current building we are in. And I was not allowed to know because I'm the landlord's daughter. I have never fed information to Randy, and I have signed willingly, an NDA stating I will not talk about anything but that has not been good enough. My title is director of purchasing and I am paid less than half of what the normal rate of someone in my position is as well as any of the men in the company.
A: Discrimination in the workplace violates various employment laws. In your situation, where your boss is singling you out, excluding you from meetings and events, and paying you significantly less than others in similar positions, you may have grounds for filing a discrimination complaint. It's crucial to document instances of discrimination, keep records of relevant communications, and review any company policies or employment contracts that address equal treatment.
