Coming Out

Be careful who you trust

I work for a company that is none funding. The company was created to help people get back on their feet due to mother nature and other issues we face today. This company is the worst company I have work for. Last year in November we smell gas so we called the company manager, has a result we lost heat for about two weeks, when we ask about the heat the head manager is going to tell us that if we complain to much they are going to closed the store and we will not get pay. So like fools we work in the cold, some of us got sick because of it. They didnt care if we freezing, they tols us open the store and they will send some one to fix. It took them two weeks, but because the assistance manager finaly complain, that we couldn't work in this type of condition. Then they came running to fix it. Another badthing about this company the customer complain about us they are ready to kick us out. But if the customer complain that they need to fix the bathroom, they ignored them. When I first start working there the place was a mess it smell so bad, that sometime you where afraid to come in the store. It was disorganized, and assistance after keep quiting. Because they where getting sick, I have been the six month and I have two manager and three assistance manager. But the last manager clean up and made the place presentable again. The sad part of my story is that they end up firing her because they said she was steeling stuff. The reality it was not her it was the assistance and the werehouse. She took the heat because she thought about their children because she has no children she feelt bad and took the blamed. She work for this company for about thirteen years to me she was the best employee the company had, probably she was wrong it letting it go on for to long. But the mean reason they fired her because they promise her that they will give her more money because she will be traviling for about two hours or so to come and work for the store. When she approached them about the raised they decided that they no longer need her any more so to let her go without any cause it might cause them money so they made up things to make it look that the have legal rightto let her go. My reason for writing this letter is because i want to help her get back her dignity and respect that she deserve.This woman saw potential in all of us at the job. She would teach us how to price, paperwork and other things we needed to know so the store can run smoothly. Like i said before she knows she was wrong and letting those people getting away with things for to long. I need some advice about how to get help for her about this matter. She is severely depress now and i am afraid that she can up hurting herself. She is an older woman so as a result getting a job is hard already is you are young but for women like me and my manager is way to difficult for us to get a job because of our age. Me and some off my co-workers are desperate to help her get back on her feet before she hurt herself.

Maybe you can start a Go Me fund for her. Reach out to charities who can assist her. She needs to file for unemployment and other types of public assistance. I'll pray for her, you, and your staff. You all need to leave and quick. Bless you all!

The fact is arbitrary corrupt behavior is becoming more frequent, this is because there is rarely a consequence, or any significant consequence, for the behavior. Since this is what society is becoming, no consequence or accountability, it will continue. Even going through appropriate channels these days does not seem to have an effect a lot of the time, although this should still be pursued, or pursued first. Until people start to realize they have to take the risk and stand; essentially informing the individuals to act appropriately, or there will be immediate and harsh consequence to them; these behaviors will continue, and continue to degrade our quality of life, and cause harm.
