stick a fork in the EEOC
Harrison said she provided a list of eight co-workers
to corroborate her story, but they (her witnesses) told her
the EEOC never contacted them.
After her lawyer asked about the status of the complaint in 2014,
Harrison received a “right-to-sue” letter in May of that year,
nearly 2½ years after she brought the complaint.

U.S. Department of Justice,
while you were sleeping I went fishing!
on G-D’S web
look at what I ‘caught and reeled in’:
A child of the Ida B. Wells housing project,
Peterson had been a star
salesman for a medical diagnostic-equipment company,
with a six-figure income and a new home in the suburbs.
Then he got a new boss and his brilliant career fizzled.
As a bracing wind blew in off the lake, Peterson sat across
from an EEOC investigator and detailed what he believed was
an escalating campaign by his new boss to
sabotage Peterson because he is black.
“We’ll protect you,” Peterson remembers the investigator telling him.
“They would be stupid to do anything to you now.”
Less than five months later, however, Peterson was fired.
Another 14 months went by before he finally heard back from the EEOC.
1) Without contacting any of the witnesses
or
2) Without obtaining any of the records
With a six-paragraph form letter dated Dec. 30, 1992,
Peterson’s case was dismissed.
