For 22 years, I have poured my heart and soul into this, what is now how I view, fucked up company. I specialize in making pipe. I'm an honest worker trying to make an honest living.
Today, I was let go for taking a shit in an unauthorized bathroom. One of the higher-ups caught me hastly pulling up my pants as I left the bathroom. I knew I was finished when we locked eyes, but I still proceeded to my designated area. I got called in the office over the loud speaker, and all of my coworkers knew what was up. I headed towards the office and shut the door as I entered.
The manager didn't even acknowledge me. He just stayed looking at his computer screen with his back facing me. So I said, “what the fuck you want, man? I got shit to do.” He turned around slowly in his chair with a smug grin and told me I was fucked. No one talks to me in that manner, so I left the room, only to be greeted by part-time supervisors beating me with pipes as I scrambled for the exit. Some of them started throwing banana peels in my path.
When I made it out, I counted at least 5 lumps, still pulsing on my head, along with bruised arms and legs. I'm not even going to HR, I'm lawyering up and getting this place shut down.
