Longtime lurker first time poster. To start off, I work in the food industry and have been here for 2.5 years. Currently in college but it pays my bills so I’m cool with it. We had a new guy start the other day and his first shift was with me. I won’t say everything that happened because it was so bizarre and way too much to reiterate but long story short I was threatened.
The entire night he was on tangents about murdering women due to his hatred for them and gave me a detailed story of how he wanted to kill his ex girlfriend for leaving him. He made some innuendoes about raping me due to us being by ourselves on the shift and a whole plethora of other shit. By the end of the night I had made up a story saying my boss told me to send him home because we were slow but really I felt like if I kept him any longer he would’ve assaulted me.
This man still has a job and I have informed my bosses to no avail. He has gone on to harass the other women there and I’m at a loss. I’ve never been scared at work but I really am terrified to go in again. Im thinking of just not going back, would that be bad? I need this job and I need money but at some point I feel my safety comes first especially when no one is taking me seriously. Any advice is appreciated.
