I was sexually harassed and sexually touched at a new job and when I reported it to HR, I was fired. I know that was the reason because on a Friday morning, my boss said I was doing really well and he was very happy with my work. That afternoon I went to HR to complain and when I got to work on Monday, my boss was visibly shaking with rage. He said I was being sacked because I apparently almost cost the company a one million pound law suit because I had lost a blood sample (it was a private pathology company). The problem being, my job at that particular company didn't involve me handling blood samples.

I guess most, if not all, of these are from the wonderful US of A again. People should stop complaining and fix their labor laws if they want worker's rights. Unionize, vote for people who want change, refuse to work yourself to the bone, etc. But no... they make work their lives and complain about all of it.

some people are so disgusting, mental health problems exist, emergencies outside of work exist, sickness exists, something that affects an employee at any job affects the job, sexual harassment exists, sexism exists, too much work also exists and caring about other living things (you and others) is the first step of being a human. some people can't grasp that and the world is such a broken place because of that.

when i saw all those stories i wonder why all the shooting are in schools and not at these workplace

With every thread I become more thankful I don't live in the USA. Look at yourselves: this isn't a land of the free, this is a land of the oppressed and enslaved. And you're so stupidly patriotic about it because you don't know that the rest of the world is better.

My boss shortchanged me $500 and I got yelled at. Glad she is gone and we have a union

I had to work a 12 hour day the very day my dog died. At the end of the day, my boss complained that she had to go home and make mashed potatoes ( the next day was thanksgiving). I said I had to bury my dog using the headlights of my car for light. She said, “oh you win!” Same company never gave me the extra hours I earned from doing weekend trade shows. Then later stopped paying our health insurance but still took $$ from our paychecks. Then started to “hide” the paychecks, then started to bounce.

I was sick with the flu and strep, had the doctors notes to prove it and was let go because I couldn't be there....oh I'm sorry I'm contagious and your building has no ventilation.....this is a HUGE bank company too....unreal

A guy came into the bookstore where i worked. He had a bunch of gun magazines, and wanted a teacher's discount. Well... 1) we don't discount magazines at all, ever. 2) teacher's discount doesn't apply to things that cannot be used in the classroom, and our local schools were zero tolerance to the point of crazy/stupid. I didn't mention the second part, just said that I couldn't discount magazines. He went full ammosexual, freaked out about his constitutional rights, and demanded an apology and a discount to make it right. I told him I literally couldn't give him the discount; the registers blocked that sort of thing. He physically assaulted me: slamming his hand down on my wrist and pinning it to the counter while demanding an apology and the discount. All throughout his screaming fit, literally no one showed up to find out what was going on. Eventually, he stormed out in a rage. I was written up for "provoking" him to violence.

I worked for a big video game selling company, and because we didn’t have a assistant manager (high turnover and the DM didn’t want to promote me), we had this store manager that was for better words, a jerk, working one morning with me. I was 6 months pregnant and chose to sit down on a chair with no customers in store because I was tired (I would walk to work, half mile from my home and stand for 8-10 hrs, then walk back). He got all bent out of shape, told me I was nothing but a number to the company and the reason why I couldn’t get promoted was because I was having a baby and it would “inconvenience” the store. I stared him dead in the eyes and called corporate on him. He still worked there months later. I didn’t go back until after Christmas rush (medical conditions kept me out longer than normal) and I got called multiple times while out (mostly of when are you returning? We need paperwork to support this extended time. Ok fine.) I left that job two months after coming back.

My daughter just quit dunkin due to unsafe working conditions bc they told 2 people with covid they had to come into work after 4 days off bc being sick doesn't mean you don't work! Yes that is exactly what it means. This came after quitting wendys bc she was being too emotional when a make coworker smacked her butt. I waited tables in a nightclub and was attacked by a drunk customer who pushed me down 3 stairs and when i hit my head and passed out proceeded to kick me in the head repeatedly. They paid for my hospital bills and physical therapy but told me i needed to be careful not to upset the customers in the future.i asked if she wanted a drink for last call. I still suffer from that head injury. 8 years later. Sexual harassment stories....i got em by the dozens. Give people a little power and they forget how to be decent humans.
