Can I sue my employer for sexual harassment? READ!?

The other day I was terminated for drinking some left over milk at starbucks (my old job) and giving out a drink for a cheaper price only once, right before my 2 week vacation! I was denied my 2 weeks pay...

While working there i was constantly harassed by the "assistant manager," I was told the following things by him verbally:

"if you dont clean up, your never going to be able to walk again, and i dont mean i'm going to break your legs, you know what i mean; Lets just say you wont be able to sit."

"the only way your going to get any higher around here in the ranking is to start giving blowjobs."

and asking "have you ever had sex?" "do you know the gay areas around here, what would YOU be doing there!?" the list is endless


also i have bent down against the counters and he has come behind me putting hands on my back and hugging me rubbing his face against me.

I told the manager about some of this and they did nothing about a month before today, can i sue the corp. for anything?

Everyone working there knows he has some issues and yes an X-employee who quit was present during alot of this. as we'll as some current employees know he is allittle advancive...i dont beleive any documentation was recorded by the main manager he just brushed it off his shoulders...another manager was told also that he was treating me like a "*****," and he did nothing about it...he just kept going on with it and i want some money out of this after working for a company for 2 years putting up with this ****.

Do you have documented proof? If not, it is only going to look like a disgruntled ex-employee who is trying to get even for getting fired. When you complained to the manager, did he/she make a written record of your complaint? If not, you may be dead in the water.

EDIT: After reading your follow up additional details, it sounds like you might have a case. Make sure your witnesses has no axes to grind with these people. that will surely be shown. For future reference if this type of thing ever happens again, invest in a small pocket tape recorder and tape your conversations.

Yes. You can file a complaint with the EEOC.

As far as vacation goes, they are required to pay you for any vacation time that you acrued but have not taken.

You can -- yes. You should consult an attorney. Either way, you'll have to file an EEOC complaint and go through that process before getting a right-to-sue notice, but it's better to consult an attorney first and have his/her help with everything.

SUE THE HELL OUT OF THEM any good lawer will jump all over this get him to get the court to get the viedo tapes when this happen an be fast about it so you will have proof

Yes, you can sue the corporation and I think you should. That is absolutely ridiculous that the manager did that to you. You are already on the right track b/c you have recorded the statements he has inflicted on you. Also, you should try to see if there were any witness they heard him say those vulgar statements. You should sue that company!!! Good Luck!!

Yes and I hope that you do! Best wishes and good luck!

Unless you have documented the incidents or have a witness to the individual incidents you will not have a leg to stand on.

If you told the manager, I seriously hope you did it in writing so at least you will have one formal document to back up the allegations.

If you have no proof you are just going to appear to be a disgruntled employee

Sure. Sue them. I hope you have $ 1000-$2000 to pay a retainer to an attorney.And if you have everything documented, name, date, time, what was said, what you were doing, you might have a chance at an out of court settlement.
