I've recently have applied for an position with Fed Ex Ground and Fed EX Ground Home Delivery. I applied online with Fed Ex Ground and a week later they called me and told me to come in and fill out some more info on their computers and they would quote" get me in as soon as possible" as in like I was an good canidate for hire! I went in the local Fed Ex Ground office and fill out all the info needed for the position and the managers were very nice and were very positive on hiring me! An ex girlfriend heard I applied their, she is an package handler there for 2 years and she called me when she heard I had an interview there and she said she talked to the managers and told them she would quite if I was hired! Also she said that the managers didnt knew who I was because I apllied under my spanish name Juventino and they knew me as Joe when I was dating my ex! She said to her, not to worry, we wont hire him then! So, I was golden and was about to have a job until they found out I used to date an employee there! So i applied at Home Delivery which is in the same building and in saying I had two interviews, past a background scan, drug screen,driving test, and orientation and had my ID picture taken and got uniforms and after all that they found out also I dated an employee who is working for Ground on the other side of the building and based on my conversation with the Home Delivery manager, she mentioned their could be drama issues between me and my ex! I am even in their system with a file and they wont call me for work! Now does that sound like RETALIATION DISCRIMINATION,OR Refusal of Hire on unjustified negative refrences? I have not yet contacted my local EEOC or FEPA offices. What do you think I should do? Im a spanish single male that lives in Beckley, WV.
