    Post: Employer Mental/Verbal/Physical Abuse

    Posted by Ms. TM on 2/14/05


    I have been with the same company for over 5 years, during
    this time I have been verbally, mentally and physically
    abused by my employer(s). As of this past Friday - Feb.
    11th, I have been told (again, 3rd time or more)that I am
    HATED by every employee in my company, those are the words
    used by the owners. That is why I was lowered in my
    position to receptionist instead of being secretary (I was
    a secretary from 1999-2003). I have been told I am useless,
    stupid, lazy, I am told to F*&*^ find things, it goes on.
    This is a highly family run company, and really have no one
    to speak with about the abuse. I was told if I don't like
    the F*^^% job to quit, sorry I am not stupping to that
    level.

    I have been looking for new work for over a year, and
    nothing has taken shape, I have had to lie about being sick
    so I can go to an interview or for a test. I have been told
    if caught looking for new work, I would be fired.

    I really do not like to associate with my co-workers, I
    can't trust them, after all I am hated by them. I am scared
    to say anything nice, not knowing if it would be ran to the
    boss as sarcasim. I was told if they heard one thing about
    me when they return from their trip on Feb, 22nd I would be
    fired.

    I am currently working on my degree in Criminal Justice and
    graduating next year, I work another job PT to keep up with
    bills and school expenditures. Amazingly I have been
    working 60 to 66 hours a week for 6 months and I am still
    sane. I have learned to manage my stress very well, so this
    is not to affect the job I am at presently, even though my
    employer keeps throwing it in my face every chance they
    get, I believe they are jealous that I am well organized
    and multi-task all that I do. When I start to feel out of
    it, I take a break for day to reorganize myself.

    Is there a possible Defimation of Character Law Suit with
    this? I am a very nice person, I do my work, I keep to
    myself these days, on time everyday.
