Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Terminated discrimination

I have been with comp 5 yrs, i have been told they need a man in chg (i was office mgr)(comp is foreign owned) owners promote sales rep to office mgr a few months ago. i am 55 yr old female he is in 30s. I have complained to owners of harrasment & was told maybe i deserved it, nothing was done. The harrassment has worsened. On Friday i was told via several emails to put a file on his desk before leaving the office, I replyed & verbally told him as he passed directly by it where it was. At 5pm i left the bldg. he chased/ran after me YELLING to come back in & put the file on his desk. As i was getting into my car, he is yelling if you do not come back in & put that file on my desk dont bother to come in on mon. (there was a witness to all of the above) I do not know if he has the authority to fire me. the owner of the company is due to come in office on mon, do i go in? was I fired? do i have a sex & age descrimination suit? If i do not go in on mon do i go in this weekend & collect my personal items with a witness? How should i react in my best interest?

Re: Terminated discrimination

What you have described may well be harassment, but based upon these few facts it would not appear to be of the kind which implicates federal antidiscrimination law.
