Antiwork

I'm unsure what to do at this point. I love my job, but I'm worried about management ignoring safety protocols. I work for a cannabis growing/processing facility. We have to wear face respirators with special cartridges to spray pesticides/herbicides/fungicides on the plant. This happens 3-5 times per week. OSHA requires employees to have proper fit testing and be medically evaluated before they can wear respirators. No one here has ever been medically evaluated and we have not had training on respirator safety (until today because I kept telling our safety officer that we need this as it's an OSHA violation, but we have been spraying for the last 6 months ). I have been bringing up the issue of medical evaluations and I get ignored (it can all be documented through emails BTW). Do I call OSHA and make an anonymous complaint? I'm afraid I'll get fired if I do…

The guy tells me they don't offer health insurance. Are you kidding me?? An insurance company that prides itself on taking care of sick employees, yet doesn't do the same for its own??

In my previous position there was no way the owners/directors couldn't know how low staff moral was if they were paying attention. It was a hospice and professional as well as support staff were resigning in droves. Again, no way upper management couldn't see what the numbers were telling them. When I had finally secured a position with an agency that knew my worth and who had a reputation in the community for treating people well, I presented my resignation to my clinical manager and executive director simultaneously. They both stared at me, mouths open like fish out of water and sputtered, “Well, this is just great!! Just Great!!!” “How could you do this to us??” “Where are you going??” Why are you leaving??” “You have to tell us!!!” “We demand to know!!!” “You can't do this!!!!!” I offered to leave then and there rather than work out my 3…
