This is exactly what will happen if you complain. It's wrong & awful, but it's up to you how much you want your job. The EEOC thing sounds great on paper, but it would take a year or more for you to prevail in court (and it's not certain that you'd prevail). In the mean time, you'll be out of a job.
What do you do for the hospice program?
Hi AlohaChris. Your take on it is pretty much my belief in how things would go and I do need the income. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My position there is bereavement counselor. I used to work as a social worker with the dying patient and family, but now work with the family members after death providing grief counseling. We provide home visits for individual counseling and do various types of grief support groups also.
