Re: Employer Mental/Verbal/Physical Abuse
Posted by Ingrid on 6/07/08
I'm affraid I'm in the same situation, in this company is
not too many employees, but still I have been told by the
owner that I'm unprofessional, incompetent, that people is
affraid to talk to me because they do not know what my
reaction is going to be, and they manipulate the truth to
make it seem that it was my fault.
I've been in this company for the last 2.5 years and all I
have been receiving from them is abusive conduct. Not
directly but they manipulate situations to turn things
against me and at this point I'm already having problems at
home and I can't even consentrate in my job at church. They
got to the point to use my children to get me in trouble
with the owner. The only reason I dont quit is because I'm
not going to let them get away with it.
I think I'm sick, stressed and I turst no one, I will make
an appointmnt to the doctor this week because I am having
sympthoms that seem to be related to stress. Headaches,
pain in my lower back, a lot of pain in my overies and i can
go on and on.
If you can help me to get justice, If they answered to you
please contact me.
