Can’t take it anymore
Last night I found out a favorite relative of mine passed away. But instead of calling into work, I go in with my relative’s obituary. First I’m promised to be given an answer about getting time off by 1130 am. First lie. I don’t get an answer until 20 minutes before my shift is over. An obituary isn’t enough anymore, not even with the name and phone number of the person who runs the funeral home. I now have to have a pamphlet from the funeral. Except I’m unable to go to the funeral for I can’t afford a plane ticket.
To make things even worse, an incredibly creeper customer comes in and even though my wedding ring is an easy spot on my finger, he continually hits on me. While my coworkers find it hilarious, and doing nothing to help me. The last straw was when the customer told me to get on my knees, so he can whip it out. I couldn’t take it anymore and went to management about him. He was escorted out and people were telling me he’ll be banned from coming back. Second lie. He’s allowed to come back for he was given ‘counseling’. Even though when I brought a manager over he threatened to rape me, like he did to another girl and got nine months in prison.
This is the second sexual harassment complaint I’ve gone to management about. But nothing is getting done. I want to put my two weeks in, but my husband and I need to both be working right now, but I’m afraid I get one more nasty customer I’ll lose it and quit.
Do I take my chances and go jobless for awhile, or do I suck it up and stay till I get something else?
Don't let them win. Kindness kills. Put your head up even when you have a heavy load. Stand tall and walk proud.
Ignore that comment from Pylyp...sounds like a pervert! I have been hiring and firing people for 30 yrs. You need to contact an Attorney and sue your place of work for sexual harrassment! Your boss is responsible for your safety on the job and he is not doing his job! Best time to find a job is when you already have one! Start looking.....get Pepper Spray...sounds like your stalker may be a rapist !! File a complaint w/police dept about police not doing thier job.....
Chica???? I did walk off a job because I requested a trade in one patient ,because my patients husband was buying me jewelry, sexual enuendo....and trying to touch me inappropriately . ..and the Director of Nursing told me ,,no.....so I walked away that afternoon...enough is enough...especially when your wearing a wedding ring and dude doesn't stop ....sometimes it will get worse with dude,..he could stalk you...so just take a break...don't go back...look elsewhere .
Be open to check out other opportunities! Let’s talk business!
Call 911 from the job phone next that fool come in tell them you are being threatened by him. Go get a restraining order.. If those things scare you, quit and do not tell anyone there. Make sure your coworkers do not know where you live (to keep them from telling this idiot harassing you).Write out your complaint about him to HR, let them know you are fearful and stressed out, leave a paper trail then get a lawyer and sue the customer and the company for not protecting you. Take it to your media outlets you can fight back. But I would just quit, no notice and work temp til something better comes along. It's all about options.
In Time Like These. ... I'm truly sorry for your loss.
These days they want more
File a police report. Also send an email to corporate complaining that you are unable to get resolution for your hostile work environment. If they fire, reprimand, give you less hours, etc, file a complaint for retaliation with your local EEOC office. It is free and they will help you.
Maybe try to file a police report. This is really crazy harassment. The dude probably scares your manager. Just because someone has a position doesn't make them a strong capable person. File a police report, ask them if you can file a restraining order, maybe record him first for personal proof or show them the surveillance videos you have. Make sure you tell the dude directly you don't like his behavior and to leave you alone and find something constructive to do with his time and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself, but make sure that he's not trying to get you to anything crazy like hit him so he can get a lawsuit. The main first step you should have already covered is that you don't like the behavior. Everything else after that becomes enforceable by other means if he continues. You went to the boss, then whoever let him back in was wrong, so go to that person and make sure they know he's stepped up his threats and then involve the police. If this dude is on parole he's going back to jail for his behavior alone and you don't really want to get raped. Talk to the Police and see if you can file a report. Just because you have a position in life where he has the ability to contact you doesn't mean that he has the right to disrespect you or threaten and verbally assault you. You don't know if he's followed you home or if he's doing this to other people. If there becomes a string of reports on him they might do something about him. Maybe have someone come wait outside for a text from you and have him stomped in the parking lot next time, but then if anybody gets hurt it's your fault and you'll be prosecuted. It all depends on where you're from and what's going on over there. There's a lot of preditors around here and a bunch of women die every year. The police would give me some of their time and come to my job to talk to me about this if I needed some help or advice of what I could possibly do about a situation like this.
C'mon kid. Get in the game. Be a little more dignified and quiet and keep your business to yourself. Remember what happens to marshmallows? They get TOASTED. Hugs to you sweetie
