I would like to know if you could kindly tell me if I have a case.
I have been working for a company for fourteen years. In my performance review, at the beginning of this year I was given a perfect review for my achievements from the previous year. A month later HR sent an email to all managers in the company to remind them about completing the additional Potential Assessment review for all their subordinates.
When I read HR's email, I went to the department's manager to ask her if I could be nominated for the Managerial Development Program offered by the headquarters. I told her that I felt qualified for it and that was willing to do the extra work. At that time she told me that I needed to talk to my immediate supervisor instead. I few days later, I scheduled a meeting with my immediate supervisor and asked him the same question and listed several of my important achievement from previous years. At first, he told me he didn't anything about that program and that he needed to do some search. I said fair enough.
I few days later he scheduled another meeting to discussed my request. To my surprise the request was denied. The reason for this, as he put it, is that I had not done anything extra, extra ordinary during my fourteen years. When I asked him for specifics, he started to make things up. I was very confused since none of the reasons he gave me made sense. In addition, he said that he had talked to the department manager who originally told me to talked to my manager and that decision had been made by her
Before I started the conversations with my managers, I had talked to HR to find out about the process I needed to follow in order to enter the program and they said I needed to talk to your managers. I feel am being discriminated because of my Hispanic heritage as nobody can give good reasons why I do not qualify for a promotion
I have printed performance reviews as well as emails that describe this issue in more details. Do I have a case?
