मेरो म्यानेजरले मेरो अंग्रेजी उच्चारणको कारणले मलाई ग्राहकसँग कुरा गर्न दिँदैन। मलाई सधैं पछाडिको काम दिइन्छ।

मैले म्यानेजरसँग कुरा गरें तर उनले बेवास्ता गरे। HR मा पनि उजुरी गरें तर कुनै जवाफ आएन।

Advisor

Since your internal complaint wasn't addressed, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commission. We'll investigate the matter and try to reach a resolution through conciliation.

It's a meeting between you and your employer, facilitated by a Commission member, to try to resolve the issue. It's confidential and less formal than going to court.

के मलाई नौकरीबाट निकालिन्छ?
