Hello.
I work for a large oilfield service company in Tx.
For the last 3 years I have been in the supervisor training program for this company.
My assigned trainer finally told me (after much asking and go-round) that I had pissed off the wrong people in the company and that I would never be promoted so he wasn't going to train me.
I have gone up my chain of command but noone will address this issue.
I have even been trying to leave my area and move to another branch but (surprise) my application for one position got lost and the other person I was talking to no longer returns my phone calls.
My entire chain of command has not followed my companies HR rule of reporting it to HR and removing me from the situation ASAP.
I reported the incident to my HR officer today, someone who is not supposed to communicate the issue to anyone outside an official capacity, and now my chain is jumping over themselves to shut me up... but getting promoted is still out of the picture and I feel if company phone records are examined, my local HR officer will be found to have contacted my chain (against the rules). I was told my training would finish but it is understood that I would not promote and the training was simply to satisfy a paperwork requirement, not to actually train me to take the position.
I have a perfect record at work. I work in the oil field and to date I have not even cussed a person around me and am considered the most knowledgeable and helpful person around. I am known as an outstanding trainer and am considered the best in my field (blender operation) at my location and have even won an award for it.
I have never received a disciplinary statement and have in fact gotten "met expectations" and "exceeded expectations" on my yearly performance reviews.
I have been the typical "perfect employee" to date in all aspects.
And now that I have broken the rule of "dont tell HR", I feel they will invent a way to dismiss me.
There are a lot of politics, specifically this but so much more, at my work. I have Aspergers (recently diagnosed by my marriage counselor and referred to an official psychiatrist but still waiting for that appointment) syndrome and I don't understand any of it (a form a social retardation classified as "autism")and that is just making it worse.
My wife is pregnant and about to give birth. We lost a baby last year. I am getting a divorce because I am an Aspie (robot for short).
I feel like there is nothing I can do as my chain of command sets me up and the stress is incredible. If it wasn't for Aspergers I think I would have lost my mind and freaked out.
I am a white male with none of the typical reasons (race, color, creed, ect) for claiming harassment.
Do I have any options or just get gone before they get me gone?

I really don't see anything illegal done here by anyone. They don't have to promote you unless you have a binding employment contract guaranteeing the promotion.

Unfair maybe but not illegal.
