Hostile Work Environment: This company fosters a deeply toxic culture. I was a target of relentless bullying, harassment, and defamation by my leads and coworkers. False rumors were spread about me, and any complaints I made were leaked back to the group of people who were harassing me, leading to further ostracization and gossip.
Zero Accountability from Management and HR: My managers actively participated in and encouraged the bullying. When I brought my concerns to HR, including receiving death wishes on my baby, they dismissed my pleas for help, stating, "you need proof or it didn't happen," which is a line from the movie Training Day. This shocking lack of professionalism and empathy is a clear indication that HR is not there to protect employees.
Retaliation and Discrimination: My experience was one of constant retaliation. I was written up while 8 months pregnant for "huffing and puffing" without any proof. After I returned from maternity leave, my shifts were stripped away, and my seniority was given to new hires. When I inquired about this, I was fired shortly after they learned I had filed a complaint with DEI.
No Career Growth Without Favoritism: There is absolutely no opportunity for internal growth or advancement unless you are a personal favorite and part of the select group of individuals who engage in this negative behavior. Merit and hard work are disregarded in favor of a clique-based system.
Union Ineffectiveness: The union reps are in cahoots with the company and offered no real support. They advised me to "keep my head down" and "take the name calling and being yelled at" rather than advocating for my rights.
