Reply #93: No Probable Cause.

[undeterred]

That was the finding of the Equal Rights Officer. I couldn't be more disappointed.

They don't really investigate anything. Turns out they haven't actually gone onsite to employers for years. I don't know if they even leave their cubicles when doing an "investigation".

No Probable Cause in my case depended on legal technicalities... did the person who did the harassment have the direct power to hire and fire me? The question I was asked in June is was he my supervisor. The answer to that was yes. But somehow over the months, the question changed and my answer to the new question was no.

Did I report the harassment to my employer while I worked there? No I did not, because I was given an ultimatum by my supervisor and taken off the assignment less than a week later. I did not know I was going to lose my job. I did know, as a contractor, that if I complained about my supervisor in any way, it was likely that I would end up unemployed.

Its possible to appeal. But I don't know what grounds there would be. I was a contractor, an as I was reminded today, contractors are not a protected class. Sexual harassment has to occur within such a strict set of circumstances its hardly ever prosecuted. And harassment of a contractor probably happens all the time and is never prosecuted. As they like to say at this company "You can do anyting to a contractor."

I'm disgusted. He did it, everyone knows it, and he got away with it. I am still unemployed.
