If you face harassment on the job you can sue for millions of dollars. If schoolkids could do the same up to age 25 for school bullying I bet we'd see less of it
I would have loved to have sued that fucking school. Not that I could afford a lawyer. Maybe I'd start a GoFundMe.
HR isn't your friend but when I had a lead harass me on the job last year they delt with it because of they didn't I could sue. An email with the subject line "hostile work environment complaint" told them my problem was now legally their problem. Give kids those smart rights and make school administration have the legal duty to protect students and failure to do so causes personal liability
If you want HR on your side, frame the issue as one that will leave a company liable or put them in legal jeopardy.
HR may not be your friend, but they aren't your direct enemy, either.
HR exists to protect the company, but a good head of HR knows the easiest way to do that is to treat your employees well.
Hell, the HR people I know spend most of their time stopping the company from doing illegal bullshit.
HR can be made to do what's right if you notify them that not doing so exposes the company to a lawsuit
maybe find a lawyer that works on contingency
I guarantee you that here in Indiana, the school didn't do anything I could sue them for.
That's awful. And one of my biggest fears. Are there any anti bullying advocacy groups that would be willing to help fund your case? A good court victory does wonders for the cause.
I feel like the monkey's paw outcome here is public schools closing because no one (read: conservatives) wants to pay for it, or change the schools to be better about the underlying problems.
