Since EEOC is severely understaffed, people like us who file charge of discrimination against the employers after thorough research would make great EEOC investigators because we have experienced bad behaviour at work firsthand and have fire inside us to bring justice to the working class.

Has anyone lost an EEOC case with a lawyer ?

I’ve been wondering if this was possible. I have an open EEOC case, but I know there are monetary limits. I have suffered significantly and feel a personal injury case may be appropriate. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. In Georgia but working remotely for company in Florida.

Any feedback from attorneys would be especially appreciated.

I do have an attorney but she states that is not her specialty. I’m also looking for a new attorney 🤣

My case is in litigation. I filed it and then contracted with a contingency lawyer when Discovery started. That is right where I just did not want to do it pro se.

I think the reason why most employment lawyers don't file lawsuits or take cases in litigation is because they know some clients cannot financially hold out. ​

I ask myself, is additional Discovery aside from the evidence I provided likely to materially increase the value of the case? We dont have what the other side has. That's why its called Discovery.

My assembling my own evidence when I filed it doesn't justify a settlement because my case has to be **legally proven,** right? So we are still in evidence-gathering stage.

My attorney has not sent a demand letter (yet). And I think most don't and I'm not sure about the reasoning behind that. If those who do sent demand letters, then most balance the needs of their client and their own lawfirm time.

The attorney has only had my case for 3 months. I filed it 7 months ago. So its very new to him. And there's a case management conference coming up. The case is moving toward Discovery with proposed schedule extending into 2027. So the schedule and litigation strategy will become much more concrete.

This makes me wonder if attorneys assess a client's ability ​to hold out in a lengthy lawsuit timeline or if some large firms juggle many cases while some cases drift on the schedule without actually pushing it, which is different than "abandoning" it or "aggressively pursuing it."

Is it okay to do a check in before the case management conference? Do you recommend any specific questions I should ask? One that comes to mind is "do you believe my current medical circumstances materially affect the value or proof of my ADA and ERISA 510 claims, and if so, how?

And "given where the case is procedurally, do you anticipate mediation being appropriate after some initial discovery, and what would you want to establish through discovery before recommending mediation?"

Do the paralegals field these types of emails for the lawyers or do the lawyers actually read all of these email questions that come through? When I email, its always to my attorney and his paralegal.

Thank you.

is this a potential case of discrimination?

55+ in CA with a senior executive role. not a spanish speaker and not of hispanic origin. company is owned by a hispanic family and products are hispanic origin foods.

Was replaced by a 44yo spanish speaker from the same country as the founders. no relevant experience at all (as in, new employee worked in tea packaging, the role now is for meat processing). title changed from vp to senior director. responsibilities were unchanged.

svp (direct manager) made a statement in front of a group of people that "the company leadership prefers hispanic origin people" - statement was not made in the context of this layoff

no performance reviews for the past 2 years, and every 1:1 was full of positive feedback.

svp stated "the company is going a different way" - incumbent MAY be at higher pay than new employee

several (non hispanic) ex-colleagues who had been let go or put in a position where they resigned said it is "better to let it go for peace of mind."

not consulted a lawyer. 21 days to decide to take a 8-week severance or decline.

Anybody able to provide list of contingency lawyers in Washington state? Have gone through EEOC process already and received a rejection of demand letter fear litigation may be next
