California

I have been working at my current job for several years and recently I have been facing discrimination from my supervisor due to my disability. Despite providing all necessary documentation and accommodations, my supervisor has been consistently undermining my work, excluding me from important meetings, and making derogatory comments about my disability. I am now considering filing an EEOC complaint, but I am uncertain about the process and if I have a strong case.

Short answer: Yes. There are some siginficant deadlines (180 days and up to 300 days) you will need to meet, forms to fill out, and a venue to choose (California law vs. Federal law). Without more specific it is difficult to give you specifics, Thus, given the deadlines and the specifics of your case, I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an employment lawyer very quickly to fully understand where you in the timline, what you will need to prove, and where to file -- and more importantly, if you have a case. Good luck.
