Harassment & Abuse - I Feel Helpless

Not open for further replies.
What is the time limit of when you see abuse that you are supposed to report it?
Four hours. To be fair, what I witnessed last week was not enough for anyone's mind to go directly to abuse. I did think to myself, if this were a pattern, I thought it might constitute neglect. Apparently, according to the other witness who saw more of the same and worse, most of it would consitute abuse, because her actions are wrong, not her inaction.

None of this should be happening at this agency, period. I can't even believe this is happening. There is so much out there that's supposed to prevent exactly this situation.

I know for sure after tonight that she is trying to set up me and my co-worker as somehow deficient employees. There is something seriously wrong with this lady that she would go out of her way to bring down her co-workers. For what purpose? I don't understand why she would lie about us and attempt to set us up in addition to simply threatening and intimidating us AND being bad to the population we work with. I don't get why this is happening, how this is happening.
 
I would report it... and tell them honestly. You aren't the one committing abuse, so if you do get sacked, you can then atleast not worry about fear in reporting them further up the chain. It would be quite discriminatory though to sack the person reporting another for abuse of the disabled.
 
Here I come again with my instance and opinion. When I entered my former place called Hell, there was a woman there with a BS degree(pardon the pun) and she had the personality of a know-it-all and a complete ****. She was jealous of my experience with government but the Director and Co-Director were the biggest bunch of political players who deserved a huge lobotomy but that is a whole other issue.

When Ms. I Have The Personality of Wet Cement became the Office Manager, it was me vs. her. She was hired because of politics, not because she could do the job but she made my life a living hell. She was bitching about everything I was doing, and I could go through the list but then she decided to steal my charger and throw it at me behind closed doors. I reported this WAY ABOVE Human Resources because you can't trust them. They work for the Director, not for you. I got the oh I forgot the ass but I told him the whole situation and he told THE DIRECTOR to discipline Ms. Violent Offender. I come to find out later that she was NEVER disciplined for it but I was and moved from the front desk. The reason why is because she didn't want to see me (the real reason), but it was a "discipline issue" because I "wasn't doing my job".

HUH?

So I was given a new supervisor (comes to find out that she was only a supervisor for time sheets and for attendance) and I was left alone for 4 months. I had all of my work that I busted my ass doing taken away from me so I got my Union involved.

If those assholes think they could play politics with me, they haven't seen a damn thing yet.
So I put EEOC complaints for age and disability through them which failed which shouldn't have however after three bullcrap performance evaluations, I was fired.

Oh really.

August 29th, I went into the office and I sat there and the two idiots, Human Resources and Resources Management was there to tell me I was fired and I sat there looking at both of them with a solid face of "oh just you wait". Worse yet, I was deleting a few pictures on my computer and she touched my husband on the arm FROM BEHIND which was horrid because he could've attacked and killed her. FIrst of all, you are NOT supposed to touch me or my husband when I've been fired, which could be labeled as assault. He was a former bouncer and you don't come from behind a 6'5" man like that and expect to live. I told her point blank, "Don't you EVER touch my husband again!" I was loud and I made sure that the office knew how much of a two faced bitch she was.

After receiving unemployment, I had terrible panic attacks and of course, things at home were bringing me to my knees. I prayed to my HIgher Power many times but in His time, an amazing thing happened.

We voted a new Governor and boy, was HE PISSED OFF!!! He told the Director of my former office to either be fired over my issue or resign. He was ordering ALL Directors to be fired however, when he found out that NOTHING was done about my workplace violence, the new Governor gave him a rather nasty phone call asking him why HE didn't deal with the situation and why the Co-Director dealt with it and there is no records on it in the office but in the office of the Ombudsman. Why was it not reported? He found out that the Co-Director was FRIENDS with Ms. I'm Gonna Get My Ass in Deep Dog Shit and well, he worked with the same Department she was in. Uh huh. Now the truth comes out..

Sooo....after I cursed my office under my breath, the Director "claimed" he retired after 30 years (he only worked 20 years-lying),and the Co-Director has fallen out of favor with the office. People are speaking up finally after what happened to me as I don't play any games. I am the queen of politics and, even with my PTSD, I won the battle and won the war. The attorney finally said, "If you resign, we will wipe your file clean."

That's all I wanted. Now I'm going to school to change to become a cyber security engineer and I have a great job.

If I can win, you can too.

I'll run a quick update here, as it was bumped.

Someone pretty high up the ladder in comparison to this situation found out about my issue and essentially resolved my anxiety about my own job security or this woman's influence. I decided to monitor her this weekend, pay close attention to everything, and then report the behavior to my manager with solid examples of what I find problematic.

I went into work all centered and zen and ready to cope with this situation, having been essentially deep breathing and processing it all day, aaand... she completely flipped. It was like working with a different person. I'm not sure exactly why or what caused this, but it was eerie. I am pretty positive something happened to convince her that I was not worth attempting to bring down, and I am even more positive that she has decided to simply turn her attentions to my co-worker instead. I'm not sure what is up with this lady, but her unpredictability is killing me.
 
The best thing for you to do is to LAY LOW. When you tattle on someone, it makes you look like the idiot. What has happened is that, since you have PTSD, is that you can go to the EEOC and/or you could be a lawsuit waiting to happen. She needs to be very careful and I would write down a diary of everything going on, what and who said what, etc. This will save your sanity and job.
