Daniel Avila
FORM 960-980
(currently in RDP since my transfer of March of 2023)
GROUP-R
YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT: 16 ½ YRS
Hello, I am submitting my two weeks notice on 5-21-2023 for reason’s I can lightly explain why I am leaving this employment. I feel I am not being used right and being pushed to the right direction of my duties. The knowledge I earn from my skill set I have been taught and trained for within my sixteen years I have been here for this company. I tried many attempts to earn an upper position here at the foam department but ended in a rough condition of bad team leader to management not believing in me or my skill set that I acquired being here at this company.
Also I have been verbally, homophobic assault and racism called on from formerly to current employee’s when I report misbehavior acts here at work. I had my locker broken into, I had a sexual male part drawn on my locker to even have my lunch bag being put in a break room freezer. I feel that the environment and vibe is very bad here then it was seven years ago when things were good and taken care of when things like this happen when reported. I feel like I am not welcome here at Pactiv/Evergreen of the things I do here, when all I want to do is to come into work and make the best foam food product I can. So I can still have job security being in place then being worried all of the time that it would be my last day here at work. From the flavorism to cheating and lying that is happening here in the foam department I try to report. Nothing came to a result due to the fact there are a fraction of the employees who are willing to help each other out of the bad behaviors they hide which have happened all throughout the plant, and that also goes to team leaders.
I feel that if I leave here, I would feel much better than me being here in the mental state that I am currently in now. Pactiv/Evergreen was a good place to work from 2006 to 2011, but within the last seven years it hasn’t been good. That also goes to the covid-19 pandemic era in the beginning of March 2020 which was a dark time for me and everyone else who formerly and currently working here during that time period.
That being said, I “Daniel R. Avila” who has worked here for sixteen and a half years as a Pactiv/Evergreen employee is now resigning from this employment for my two weeks' notice. I want my notice to be private until the last day of work. And the reason is because I feel that once someone knows about my two weeks notice, they will (the employees from the foams department) throw a party not for me but a celebration for someone like me who isn’t welcome here in this bad employment environment. Please respect my wishes and keep this private from the employee's public eye.
Currently I am working in the RDP department. Since March of 2023 of my transfer (due to the employee overstaffed on group-r), I have had no issue with that department. But I still wish to continue working in that department until my two weeks' notice is up. Unless I will be escorted out when submitting my two weeks notice, then please let me know through an email so it can be officially documented that I can have it while getting my personal items out of my locker.
Thank you and have a safe nice day.
as of now i am free from that company as of today. i do have a job and i used up my vacation i save up for my two weeks notices. they didn't walk me out because of that but h.r. did get my submit form and wish me luck at my new job. i did had someone told me that my former manager was in trouble when i give the copy to my plant management which didn't end well but he is still working their. the only part i feel sad about is the people who i work with, i am going to miss them but i gotta move on to get away from that company and it bad vibe. my goals now is to save enough money to go to school as a solar technician for next year 2024 spring course. i hope i do well and make it to my goals.
