Can we still rely on the EEOC in 2026?

Employment Law

I was recently fired from my job for my performance- however I've been asked to stay on for a few months to train two people replacing me.

I’m a Black Woman.
Location: Texas

The two replacements are white women, they’re not the issue.

When I started my area had a lot of turnover and I was asked to put all hands in and pick up the slack for the teams sake. With this economy I was in a pickle so I stayed on.

I have been overwhelmed with all the additional responsibilities outside of my expertise- configuring HCM platforms, AI enablement, platform automations (I do friggin excel sheets and reporting)

Anywho, this one stakeholder asked me to manage one of her reports based on one of her buddy’s (white male) forecasting methods for the purposes of reducing resources (laying off employees). I asked him what his methodology was and why it never aligned to what the different plants were forecasting and I kid you not he said he couldn’t remember because he threw in a little razzle dazzle. We’ve let go people based on his reporting. Our FP&A person was like people are losing their jobs based on this and it doesn’t make sense. The stakeholder I was supporting brushed it under the rug.

Anywho I write all that to show one example of how I became the scapegoat for this project and I’m not being held to the same standards as others. I have several more examples
It’s also funny that they want me to stay on to train people.

I have screenshots and transcripts (because all teams meetings are recorded with copilot now lol) - I want to take this to the EEOC

Can anyone advise if this is a good case to submit?
