My girlfriend was recently hired at a small company to build their quality management system. The CEOs want to go after FDA approval and that can’t happen without a QMS. Things started out really great, but soon people didn’t want to change the way they were doing things. It was more work and more accountability. This went from employees to even management started to circumvent the processes overriding the whole systems they wanted in place.
Well, that in combination with a mask policy put in place by quality (management supported at the time 100%) did not make people very appreciative of her specifically but the whole team too.
Other employees started taking her job and what she was asked to do by management personally and eventually now her personally. Her boss is two-faced. He wants to be friends with everyone, and when other people don’t like each other, you end up being a shit talker. He has stopped supporting the quality team and is really just being a yes man. He tries to talk shit with everyone about everyone else, is utterly incompetent, you get the idea.
The CEOs have “mask fatigue” (big babies using daddies money with the company handed to them by daddy) and wanted to mask policy gone.
Come this morning and her boss abolished it before they even got to work. Her and her team naturally still wear masks and are now actively being made fun of and harassed and bullied by other employees for it (she did send a bit of an ego fueled email about it but still, not deserved).
If all those things weren’t awful enough, she was walking back to her office through the facility and the people who harassed her were standing around.
One of them yelled at her calling her a “stupid d*ke”.
She took it like a champ, but I’m honestly super bent up about it. She reported it to management but they likely won’t do anything (sexist comments in the past towards another member on her team and the FEMALE CEO took the two ladies out to lunch, told them to basically get over it, and then made them pay for their own).
I don’t really know the aim for me typing this other than to get it off my chest. It’s just disgusting. How do people take this comments no sweat?
Anyways, yes she is looking for another job ideally remote.
I doubt anything will come from reporting it. She thankfully took the next few days off.
Thanks for listening.
