South Carolina, U.S.A.
Hi,
My wife has been working at a healthcare facility for 13 years. Her supervisor
has hired on several family members and is of late (the past year) constantly harassing,
intimidating, being abusive and hostile to my wife. As my wife cannot read/write
English and is not part of her supervisors “click”, she is being treated unfairly and (IMO)
the plan is to force her out of the workplace.
Supervisor has started cutting wifes hours (giving the hours to family and/or friends).
This is affecting our livelihood, her retirement as well as our peace of mind.
As for taking these matters to the administrator for resolution; admin relays the info to
wifes supervisor which leads to further harassment/abuse.
To be honest, I am weary of listening to my wifes plaints every day. It hurts me to know
this injustice is directed at her with no recourse or accountability. This situation has
started wearing on me so bad that I really want to go pay these people a visit to let them
experience being on the receiving end of the abuse. I know cannot do this but people
can only take so much. I cannot sit idly by while someone (anyone) treats my wife in this
manner.
We are literally living paycheck-to-paycheck and this is affecting both of us on an
elemental level. We cannot afford to have her hours cut or her state of mind
compromised each day she works: This is a potential bomb that may leave us destitute
and homeless. The stress caused is unhealthy and destructive.
Is there anything that can be done; or can guidance be given that may point us in the right direction?
Please help so that this does not end up another tragedy.
Thanks,
