Sexual Harassment in the workplace

Submitted 2011-06-24

Defendant: ^Sexual Harassment (in the workplace)

I have been recently let go of a position because my boss did not like that I found a boyfriend. I was in a relationship with my boss 9 months ago, very briefly, and continued to work for him. For 9 months I have been telling him this was not working out on a personal basis. I have hundreds of texts from him harrassing me in the past 9 months. Maybe closer to 1000. I tried going to my wireless provider to get copies of those texts but I am told they have to be court ordered.

Recently he went into my small hometown drilling bartenders if I had a new boyfriend or not and when he had information that I did and found out where he lived, he dropped my working days down to 2. He is a very smart, rich man that is covering his tracks by telling me that my position is not justified and there is not work for me to do. But he also told the secretary that he now knows I have a boyfriend and HE can go pay my bills. He is very wealthy but I have more than enough in the way of texts to prove discrimination/harrassment/sexual misconduct all of the above.

Also, he had me listed as a self employed contractor but I am told that they have to then provide expenses such as gas, mileage, etc?? He treated me as an employee. I was told when to be there, when to leave, exactly what job I was supp'd to do. There was nothing about being self-employed about it.
