What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Hey guys I need some help.
I received very harmful emotional distress couple days ago, and I really want to do something about it because it bothers me so much I can't get it out of my head.
so heres the story..
so I was hired at resturant A, and at my first day of work, I did the usual steps like saying hello to other employees and the manager. I tried to be positive and smiled the whole time, and listened very well with absolutely no sign of complaints or laziness.
so after about 20-30 minutes of work we had lunch break, and what I saw at the lunch break was segregation between chefs and waiters. (all the chefs and the manager were sitting together side by side having usual conversation). Then I noticed the manager making rude remarks to one of the waiter ( manager said it in Korean and the waiter was from Taiwan) front of all the Korean chefs and waiters.
After the lunch break the waiters and the manager had a brief meeting.
so this is my first day at work and at my first meeting..
all of the sudden the managers points the finger at me and says "I'm speaking directly to you, you think you are better than everybody but here you are a nobody, it doesn't matter you study at college or not, people here knows much better than you..etc, etc, etc," I won't go so much into details but you get the idea where this was going.
First, I was shocked by what he was saying, because I've been here no longer than 30mins and I was extremely embrassed and nervous because he called me out front of all the other employees in the meeting.
Second, he did not give any reasoning behind his statements, nor did any other employees. I asked one of the head waiters and he asked me if I was all right, and he told me he does this everyday to other employees.
So through out the rest of the work, I watched the manager because I was so anxious and fabregasted by what he said, it was really unbelieveval to treat an employee like that at his first day of work when he didnt even start working yet.
I noticed couple other things the way he makes fun of customers because their weight (in korean, the customer was white) and he did not even acknowledge me at all through out the work, and told me to stay in the kitchen.
I know there is a violation of emotional distress law under working environment, but I was not sure the exact name of it.
can you guys please help me out?
thanks
