Human Resources Won’t Let Me Transfer To Another Department,?

My racist supervisor has written me up twice in 2 months since he heard I was going to transfer to another department. Up until now I had a good employee record. Human resources says I can’t transfer until a year has passed to drop a writeoff from my record. I went to school and got my certificate for this other position now it was all for nothing. Human resources says they have to be fair on all there policy’s (which is understandable) I just feel they should use a little more discretion on the severity of a writeup before holding someone back for advancing their career. Any advice on what I can legally do to fight this. The write ups were my first offense ever.

Help! My Coworker Is Trying To Make Me His Personal Assistant And The Boss Won’t Do Anything About It!?

I was hired to be the salaried office manager of a small, busy construction office in Chicago, IL. I have also become the HR director, the receptionist and at the moment, the accountant. One of the guys in the office is dumping a lot of work on me which severely limits my capacity to tend to my original and additional duties. I don’t have time for breaks and barely have time for lunch. The boss said I have to help him. This guy yells at me, swears at me and constantly belittles me. He also yells at everyone else in the office, telling them what their job is and how to do it. I complained to the boss and the guy stopped swearing at me, but that’s all that’s stopped. I have been bringing work home nights and weekends, yet I get yelled at for not getting all the work done and have to deal with upset customers and coworkers because I don’t have time to do anything for them. I have 3 kids at home and I’m having a hard time finding another job that pays decent. What can I do?

My Company Won’t Seem To Allow Me To Move Up?

the company that i work for is very anti-female. my boss told me there aren’t many opportunities for women. i should have gotten a promotion, but instead they held me back. i wonder if it is because my boss winks at me and i don’t wink back.
anyway, so the other day my boss sent this out:
Store Team,
Please do not take this as chauvinistic [I have three daughters], racist, or judgmental, but these are facts and important when we market the Store and the details are as follows:
92% of the Electrical Engineers in the US are men
2. 36% of the middle managers in the US are women
3. 17% senior managers [director and above] are women
4. 42,700 new EE’s graduated in 2007 – presently there are about 200,000 actual design engineers active in the US
We always need to understand our customer base.
————————————–…
The actual statistics are fine, but I found some conflicting stats and he got angry with me. he flipped his monitor around and said, ‘look at my god d*mn monitor.’ i went to human resources after telling him that he doesn’t have a right to talk to me like that. then i heard the owner of the company talk about punishing because i went to human resources.
is there anything i can do?
