Antiwork

My job fired me for speaking out.

So, I live in Utah, which is not a right to work state. I used to monitor security alarms, burglar, fire, panic, medical, the works. I was on the grave shift for most of my employment. On the grave shift, I came across a boss who treated the workers like garbage. We could never bring issues to her without being scolded heavily. It was various stuff, yelling at us for following policy, degrading people, hell the policies they did enforce, they didn't follow themselves. For example, they dated a coworker on the same shift. I moved shifts because of her. Not even a couple weeks later, the day shift gets me comfortable with speaking up about it, and I start opening up to the leadership. Not a week or two later, they are talking about discipline or getting rid of me. They finally did that, calling it work avoidence.
