You read that right. My supervisor threatened me with false accusations for using the restroom during “restricted hours”. They close off the bathrooms because people use them to hang out. I have no idea what that has to do with me but here we are.
I waited my turn to go. It's closed off by the barricades but I'm about to literally pee myself because the person who went before me took a long time. I go through the barricades. No one is in the restroom cleaning it. As I get out my stall to wash my hands, my supervisor confronts me. Which I expected. He tells me that I shouldn't be in the bathroom. I tell him I'm about to pee myself. He says that's no excuse. I ask “What am I supposed to do then?” He says “Talk to the custodians because they have a radio and they'll contact me to let you in. I say “Okay well now I know what to do.” For some outlandish reason he thought it was okay to say “These are women who work with the restroom. They can easily file a sexual harrasment charge. Easy! It's really easy.” Like he was f****ing excited. I hold my composure and say “Alright.”
Really, inside I was seething. I've rarely felt so angry in my life.
Unfortunately this was not documented. I have no doubt in my mind that this was illegal but it was vocal with no witnesses. I already know I should get another job at this point, but I've never been in such a situation. WTF!?
