Workplace harassment
employment attorney Colorado Aug 8, 2026
TLDR; I’ve been in my position for two years and began documenting at 1.5 years when I realized the treatment was inconsistent. After filing a grievance process following my first performance review, which was accepted by the department’s HR, my supervisor denied me an auto-progression promotion six months later. I pointed out the retaliation aspects of it to HR, who essentially forced their hand to promote me. Immediately, I was given a Performance Improvement Plan in January for three months. I excelled and then was hit w/ a Corrective Action at the end of July. They described this as a “pre-PMP review” when I asked for the nature of the meeting. I don’t necessarily need advice on redirection of my career (I’m already in the workings of interviewing and relocating), but my question is do I have a leg to stand on legally if I were to have documented well? P.S. I’m a state employee that’s unionized. My union representative has been included in all proponents of the last 1.5 years. Location: Colorado, USA.
