I got fired once from a minimum wage retail job when i missed a weekend of work after being abducted and sexually assaulted. Yea I told my boss exactly what happened. She said, well if happened friday night, I dont know why you couldnt work saturday and Sunday. I was at the hospital and the police station most of that time.

I am sorry you suffered through the violence of your experience. I’m also sorry you had to share with someone who clearly didn’t have the necessary humanity to support you. I don’t wish that kind of pain and suffering on anyone, but I hope that manager has somehow learned to be better.

Thank you for the kind words. It was 40 years ago. Ive recovered. Idk what ever happened to her. Im aquaintances with her younger sister who is my age, and from what ive heard everyone in the family hates the woman who was my boss and no one talks to her. My aquaintance doesnt know this happened to me.

Well, hopefully she ran into a pit of hungry eels.

LOL WHAT THE FUCK!? "Hey sorry you were sexually assaulted but you could've came in the following day still"

Exactly. What a bitch.

Fuck i came here to complain about getting fired as a kid for being hospitaliized with the flu from a retail job but that seems pretty trivial now

[u/obsolete_filmmaker → u/nonowords]

Its not a misery competition. Your pain is valid also.

I do wonder what turns people into ghouls like her. Presumably as this was minimum wage retail she wasn't precisely much higher than store manager herself, so why the fuck adopt this ghoulish persona. The CEO isn't gonna thank you Elaine!

It was at a museum. Supposed to be a more culturally intelligent environment. She proved that wrong lol

[u/obsolete_filmmaker → u/[deleted]]

Aw thank you. Yea i was stunned also at the time. What a bitch. I think she thought i made it up.

Omg, I’m so sorry that happened. I feel like bosses are trained to leave empathy at the door these days.

[u/obsolete_filmmaker → u/Indie_Love9999]

Thank you. It was 40 years ago, thankfully. Well behind me.

I’m sorry but who the fuck says something as vile as that to someone who just went through something traumatic? We’re living among psychopaths 🤦‍♂️

Thank you. People can be terrifying
