What is the name of your state? I am in California.
Hello My name is Angel,
I work in the medical field. a single parent.
To be brief,
I started at a company in the medical industry,(of about 20 employee's) , which is predominantly male.
I worked there for two months and then the sexual comments began by one general manager. Then comments lead to touching.
I complained to the owner. No disciplinary actions were taken to this General Manager. I was forced to deal with it, cause I needed the money.
I stuck it out for four more months. By this time he had his cousin working within the company, who had become my supervisor.
I had found a brand new job for a company just starting out.
I was offered more money per hour and I would help start this company from the ground up.Sounds great huh?
I was asked by the Regional Supervisor to have an official interview, but I was already hired. This was just a formality at the the other location. Where I was introduced to my new (General Manager). It was the general manager that had sexually harassed at the company I had just left.
I was pulled off to the side by the Regional Manager and then told"Angel, I know the past that you and the General Manager have had! But please realize you are in a male dominated field.
( Like this behavior is condoned?)
"The general manager and I have been friends for many years."
Our meeting concluded and I went back to work. All the while knowing I couldnt go back to my old position because of the fact that the GM,s cousin was still employed there.
The following day I worked my shift as usual. I noticed a discrepancy on my time card. The owner ( a female) had taken my time card scratched out legitimate hours and initialled it with out my consent. When I inquired to her,as to why this was done without my knowledge.and the fact that I had kept a personal record of my hours. My wage's still did not reflect the amount agreed upon, prior to my hire.
I was consequently fired by the General Manager for this reason alone.
I still sit after three weeks of being wrongfully terminated, sexually harassed,verbally harassed and definately had to endure a hostile work place for almost a year.
No employment opportunities. No UI benefits, as of yet. and a very low self esteem.
If anyone has any input.or suggestions please let me know.
Sincerly Angel
