Exactly right. If there were discrimination in the workplace, I am certain that more employees would have spoken up long before now after carefully documenting evidence of the discrimination and quickly reported her to the EEOC and DOJ CR Div. to start and one or two would have no doubt called a major TV network or two, started a Facebook page and then maybe they still would have sued her after all of that took place first. But even if the people were desperate for jobs and didn't report her to federal agencies right away, no doubt they would have documented evidence of it and several would have eventually come forward and registered complaints. I don't know what the reporting limits for a federal discrimination complaint is but if there is one and the employee let the time expire or years go by and not file, I would think that really weakens any civil case they might have on the separate bathroom, employee entrance issue even if they do have some type of documentation. This part of the Deen thing seems weak right now.
