I was harassed while working for Aetna

I have worked for Aetna since 06/02/2013. I was bullied at my job in San Antonio by the supervisor and some members of my unit! I went through a lot of bulling and harassment. When I first started with Aetna I explained to HR that I was disabled (I am bipolar). The class found out about my illness then the harassment started. I was being told to take my medicine loudly in class by Maria and Lakissa and the manager never said anything to stop this harassment. They all just laughed and continued. After we were finished with class I took 6 weeks off this mess. When we reached the floor the harassment was worse. It was then that I went to HR and they opened up an investigation. The investigation was finished and it was won to my advantage. I got really sick with my diabetics and my nervous system then i became sick with sepsis. My Dr. stated that my body was shutting down. I went out on a short term disability leave. I had so many issues to get this approved. Finally did about 1 month after and not only the pay checks were always short calculations wer not and still not correct. I tried going back to work on October 21 and the harassment started again. See, I was also physically hit by and employee in the ladies rest room. They did not do a thing to her. I reported it and they made her take the harassment courses. There was another ticket open for abuse and I won that also. The manager in that area was removed and the director was released. But now my check are 3 months behind, they are taking their time on renewing my long term benefits. I have not been paid in three months. I want to sue them for assault and abuse and age discrimination, and disability discrimination. Please help! I want to get off this crazy train. Please help me get a settlement for I won’t have to deal with these people anymore. My heart cannot take it!

Linda, I am sorry to hear of all of your troubles. With respect to the workplace harassment and injury you will need to speak with an employment attorney. We can assist you in contacting one. Additionally, depending on when you became eligible for coverage under the Aetna disability insurance policy there may be a potential issue of a pre-existing condition for purposes of the LTD policy. Please feel free to contact our office to discuss further.
