drama with wifes job

if jokes were all that had happened, we wouldn't be having this discussion. its the retaliation that took place after the request was made for them to stop.

Telling jokes = law suit? I'm moving to the US to be a gazillionaire!

I'm not a lawyer, nor did I ever play one on TV, but I think is something about a "hostile" work environment.

Maybe. I'm just funnin' ya cuz I don't get the whole "sue" mentality. Maybe I'm too old school. LOL

what's the alternative? how would you react if you were fired because you stood up for yourself? the people who did nothing while knowing it was going on need to be held accountable for their actions so it doesn't happen again. one thing that really bothers me is that the chain of command was alerted to the incident and the response from the bosses boss was "I can't get involved in personnel issues."

Been there done that. My first job out of hi-school, got fired for not wanting to work 7 days in a row, after working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day for months. I took my case to Labour Relations and was told I was in the wrong. Fawk that and move on. Two jobs later I got fired for something that I had no involvement in (I was made to be the fall guy). I left and fawk them. Never looked back. Here we are almost 30 years later and my career is doing just fine. If a job doesn't want me, I don't want them/it and will move on. To this day, I have people from 20+ years ago wanting me to work for them, so I know I have done something right.

point taken, you do what you can and move on. we are doing what we can, it just takes a long time. we have moved to a new area and making opportunities for ourselves. we did have an unemployment hearing and the judge ruled in our favor, so it would seem the employer was in the wrong.

Nice. Good luck.
