Discrimination: Discriminated at My Job Based on My Gender

jeudi 15 janvier 2015

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: New Jersey



I am a 43 year old Hispanic gay male. Not sure if race or sexual orientation is a factor to throw in, but I'm not sure what the legal process entails. I work on the platform of a bank branch. The branch I work at is full of women, a couple male tellers, with an all-female platform (except me), and female managers. All of the platform and management go against me every chance they get. When the women call in sick, come in late, or mess up in general, they don't even get a slap on the wrist. When I call in sick or mess up in anything that they are known to mess up, I get punished or scrutinized. This has been going on since when I started in April 2014. (The managers have little to no contact with the male tellers, so I cannot divulge in how they are treated). I sell the most in store points, I'm a super star in sales, etc, so no, this 'discrimination' isn't due to my poor performance. I'm always optimistic, I'm super nice to all of my coworkers, & I do enjoy what I do, but this blantantly obvious discrimination has me kind of PO'ed.



I've spoken to my boss in regards to how I feel about "equal treatment among all employees", and my concerns were ignored. And for the record, I have secured another better job at another competing bank company, but I am afraid I am carrying to my future job emotional scarring of all the unnecessary bullying.



As for evidence: there are little tidbits. Me and coworkers have heard the manager saying semi-misandrist things at the store meetings. I.E. "It's great to see just women on the platform", which upon seeing my appalled reaction at her comment, she later apologized to me for saying it. I.E. #2: Where there's physical/laborious tasks like lifting heavy items, coin boxes, etc, the whole bank crew 90% of the time assumes that I should do it because they see me as "man of the house".



I know there are people on here that will say "butch up" or something. I've been through a lot of stuff in my previous jobs, but I've never had to deal with something so unfair and aggravating. Usually gender discrimination happens with women, but not in this case. I'm trying to figure out if I have grounds for a case, because I'm not sure what HR will do about it.
