Started a job around 6 months ago. Recently put in my two weeks notice after a male coworker was very inappropriate with me (i.e., took advantage of me in an area of the facility that has no cameras, coerced me into physical contact). HR did NOTHING after doing an “investigation” (literally just told us to “stay away” from each other). In my notice, I told administration that I no longer felt safe since I was expected to work with that particular coworker and act as though nothing had happened… and that, overall, I was overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated for the amount of work that was expected of me. Administration called me and terminated my employment immediately after reading the notice — before my two weeks was up! So now, I am stuck trying to find another job before bills are due… with no savings to speak of due to the rising cost of living. On top of that, they shorted me on my last check because they did not apply my PTO to the time I took off after the traumatic incident after they assured me again and again that it would be covered!!
It makes me so angry that these big corporations think that they can get away with mistreating their employees. I never got any breaks, even my UNPAID lunch break, due to severe understaffing. I want to report the corporation to the labor board, but I am unsure if I have enough “evidence” for it to even be a strong case. 🙁 It was bad enough that I was victimized by a creepy coworker, but the fact that my own employer continued to victimize me is honestly insane. There has to be change… And soon.
