With several years of service as a deli clerk at the Clackamas Fred Meyer, I have faced persistent weight-related ridicule from management and department leaders for almost a year. In a similar situation, a meat counter clerk named John was allegedly coerced into resigning due to his weight, and his hours were reduced after he posted about the incident on Facebook. Following reports to HR, my union representative, and BOLI, the matter remains unsettled. I fear that my job may be jeopardized if management learns about this post.
This is the truth. I was a meat and seafood counter clerk at the Clackamas location until those barbarians decided to retaliate against me for complaining to my union representative regarding a scheduling issue. For the next two years, I was constantly set up for failure and written up for failing, teased about my weight issue and humiliated by management when the store manager found out from the pharmacist that Im on antidepressants. :crying once during one of their so called employee appreciation bbq, a coworker yelled at me to save some food for the rest of the team. The store manager was present and he fell on the ground laughing at me. After that I found a better job and Im going great. SHOP LOCALLY!
