QUESTION
Can I personally file a lawsuit against a company vice president?
Asked on Mar 13th, 2013 on Labor and Employment - Texas
More details to this question:
The vice president actively set out to get fire me several years ago. He has done this to other women between 40 and 50. I turned 50 in 2011 and lost my job last August even though I had high performance results. He favors and supports men. I have filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission but want to personally sue him for damages.

I do not think the officers are personally liable, but I do not know. You should consult with an attorney that handles EEOC claims. I do not. Most do not charge unless you win. EEOC will not prosecute the case for you. That is up to you.

You likely do not have a personal claim against the VP.

You should speak to a employee-side labor lawyer about this. At a minimum, you will need to wait until you have received a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC.

Yes, you can sue. Thats not to say youd win, and it's not to say a judge would not dismiss the case.

No, you have to seek damages against the company unless he publicly defamed you or assaulted you in some way.
