Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Retaliation and Harassment

A recent (~5-month) organizational change has me reporting to a new supervisor. The new supervisor and I have always had a good working relationship until recently. The org change also changed who reported to me, and soon after I started my (getting to know you) meetings I was bombarded with complaints of harassment, and other unethical and illegal allegations regarding my new supervisor. I took the allegations to HR for them to investigate. Well, not surprisingly my new supervisor found out that I was the one that informed HR, and he has started to retaliate against me. The most recent attack was verbal harassment for almost 1 hour. I have been seeing a physiatrist for several months to help me deal with the stress and physical health problems I am experiencing as a result of this, and now I am starting to see a physiologist too. I really love my job, and have received the highest performance rating for the past few years. My fear is that my new supervisor�s retaliation and harassment will lead to my termination.

What should I do��
