Gun pulled on me, told to work…

I worked (I quit) at PCC Community Markets and on the way to work I had a gun pulled on me in a road rage incident. I was about 10 mins from work and about 40 mins from home. So I called 911 and they said they would meet me at PCC. When I arrived at work I finally realized what had happened and started crying my eyes out. I went into the store and asked for my lead, when she came to me I told her (while sobbing) what happened. She told me “Oh, ok.. well talk to the cops then clock in and work late”. Me being in shock said “okay..” I then walked out to my car and waited for my boyfriend to arrive. I talked to the cops which didn't help anything and made me feel worse (another story). When my boyfriend arrived I told him…

I went into the store and asked for my lead, when she came to me I told her (while sobbing) what happened. She told me “Oh, ok.. well talk to the cops then clock in and work late”. Me being in shock said “okay..” I then walked out to my car and waited for my boyfriend to arrive. I talked to the cops which didn't help anything and made me feel worse (another story). When my boyfriend arrived I told him I had to work and he basically told me the hell you are and walked me into the store. He told me to get my stuff and told me to tell them I am going home. I went into to get my stuff and told my lead that I was leaving, she was silent but finally said “Ok, I guess, but this doesn't look good”. The store director then came in as I was crying explaining what happened and what the cops said. He then began to get political with me and told me “well see you tomorrow.” I left, went home and cried.

The next day, against my better judgement I went into work. I was a mess, it was hard. I kept going to the bathroom to cry. My lead pulled me to the side and told me to “get over it” and “It's not that big of a deal, you aren't dead”. I finished my shift and called out the next couple of days as, as much as I wish it wasn't a big deal, it was for me. After that they began treating me differently, micromanaging me, nitpicking (and not to be that person, but I was VERY good at my job and liked by coworkers and customers a like). About 2 weeks after the issue, I got my review.. It was horrible. I was told no one liked me, I was emotional and missed to much work (I missed a couple of days for the gun and 5 days because I got covid). I went to the union and HR and was told there was nothing they could do. I gave my 2 weeks.

I write this because I NEED people to know how they treated me after having a gun pulled on me. I was treated like an idiot and made to feel dumb and like I was being a baby. This is a co-op that prides themselves on “being better than the big chains” they aren't, they are just as bad if not WORSE. HR is worthless and they make you feel like you are nothing. I tried to post a review on glassdoor, but it kept getting denied. This is my story… PLEASE don't ever work at PCC, and please.. don't shop there.
