Hi I filed a charge with the EEOC and just confirmed with the investigator that my company hasn't been notified. I have a meeting with HR and management today... should I disclose this information in the meeting or just let them be bamboozled?

So I didn't tell them. But I laid it all out there... essentially everything I listed on my charge I said to their face and it was liberating AF.

You’ll likely be waiting forever, unfortunately.

If I were the company, I would end the meeting immediately after being told something was filed until I was able to review the charge. In my opinion there’s no benefit to either of you to have a meeting today if you’re not all on the same page about what’s at stake. If something got so bad for you that you filed a charge, it seems unlikely the conversation will be productive anyway.

So I guess I would evade the meeting until the EEOC contacts them. You could tell them they’ll be hearing from them and that you will no longer be attending the meeting, but I’m not sure that’s the best choice. It depends on what you think their reaction will be, and whether you still need to perform your job in peace, get paid this week, etc.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
