Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
I placed a harassment charge against my boss. I had several witnesses and even contacted ethicspoint to place this complaint. A week passed, no response from my company was received. I placed a follow-up call with Ethicspoint to state that I had not been contacted and THEN was immediately contacted by my HR manager. A few weeks later, my primary witness was terminated due to here say without documentation over the phone. I was told "Collaborating with other General Managers would not save me.", and was also scheduled for a 'shrink assessment' meeting to which they then began to find other tangents that they could discipline me on, ultimately leading to me signing a statement agreeing that I had several counts of tardiness, but I did not received any disciplinary documentation regarding this. Do we have a case for retaliation, harassment, and wrongful termination? Any of these? All of the above? Thank you.

Probably, not, (in my opinion) unless the alleged harassment involved sexual harassment in the workplace and had developed into an identifiable pattern of conduct on the part of the perpetrator(s),
