-When my company was involved in a racism lawsuit and wouldn’t own up to any wrongdoing
-When everyone was expected to work ridiculous hours and roles way outside of normal expectations
-When a female coworker had her butt grabbed on camera- was told it was impossible to tell for sure what happened- and the man kept his job until he got in an altercation with another employee
-When employees attempted to unionize and expensive teams were hired to stop them because the open door policy was better than a union
-When a coworker started losing feeling in her legs and was forced/tricked into quitting by our boss who had asked her to come work there in the first place
-When my boss started giving prescription anxiety meds out when employees got stressed
-When I had a doctors note saying it wasn’t safe for me to come into work and I was told to anyway (and did)
-When a coworker worked through contractions to qualify for maternity leave
There are many more. I regret who I became by being passive in the face of an abusive company. I will never make compromises like that again and I sincerely apologize to those who were hurt by my silence. Everyone deserves better.
