I’m 18, I work in retail and a couple of weeks ago I almost got stabbed.
Long story short, a deranged man came into my shop after stabbing people in other shops. He came in with two knifes and began running around erratically in the shop, he cornered me and tried to stab me but luckily I didn’t get stabbed.
My manager sent me home that day, as I was visibly shaken and couldn’t stop having panic attacks.
After it happened, not once did anyone check up on me to see how I was doing. In fact, it was brushed off and my coworkers were making snide comments about it.
The company have done nothing to help my well-being at all, I genuinely can’t leave my house without feeling nauseous anymore. It’s making me rethink my job.
