Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan
My boss has done this-
-Chris list -
Just ones I really, remember-
Having his wife call me to bitch at me
And then grabs the phone and tells me to “be careful”
Smashing a full metal water bottle on the floor next to me and screaming in my face
Talks about my “tone of voice”
I’m too shrill or “bitchy” sounding
How may times have the guys been sat in your office for “ talking back or voicing thoughts and opinions”
First clue there..
Praising myself- and followed by a condescending comment from him to “keep me in check” or an eye roll.
But the guys get “ hey bud- blah blah men talk blah blah- you’re a real numbers guy” pat on back!
Guys are way better than me at running numbers and times
The fact I even have to defend myself or be asked this ( name times he has been a sexist or bully)
The time you fired Jake for sexual harassment but said that Alyssa should
have been grateful since she’s “unattractive “
The time you let Tanner continue to work here after the horrid messages he left
Saying the lady at the office enjoyed playing them. Making me
Look like a punk to staff.
( I love tanner but wtf )
The time you sent Andrea to work in Saginaw because she was too “Dikey”
When you asked (at a meeting) if the women at work could wear makeup so they looked better at the counter
The numerous times I’ve been asked if a girl is cute or a new hire is cute or attractive
The times you ask for the cute girls at work to work concessions downtown or anywhere
How you treat me- and the fact that I’ve wanted to franchise, and expressed that but you had met with Bill already.
Unwanted Shoulder rubs (ugh)
Started to duck them!!!
Telling new hires how important it is to look good and smell good
Managers got a new vehicles around the same time- and he praised everyone but me- in front of me.
Talking about needing women hired for pretty at the counter
Saying that the store is too much of a “dick party” not enough girls
Said threatening to kill someone wasn’t a fireable offense
Brett—-
Guys club!!!!
Video taped write up!??!
Talking me down in front of
Others even with great accomplishments
Noting of people’s clothes and bodies
Hand on my shoulder to tell me to use my nice voice during the pandemic to staff about meeting outside- like I wouldn’t!??!!
Demeaning “speech” won Rolex for gd company sales
QUIT
Don’t kill self
Don’t
and I quit. !!!!!
Some are petty. Some made me feel worthless! Can I get unemployment or sue him for being pressured out of a job of 16 years?

You should never quit a job, because unemployment is general barred at that point. However you May have a case for construction discharge. Please call my office at 313-402-0853 to discuss the matter free of charge. Thanks!
