"In 2014 my team manager (boss’s boss) harassed me daily while pregnant. He would write me up for using the restroom to pee at 8-9 months pregnant, claiming I was outside my allotted breaks and adherence metric. Every day I’d come to work being told that might be the day I got fired. At that time I was the top stack ranked GM for productivity (# of completed tickets) and top 5-10 for customer satisfaction/survey results. I’d waver between being the overall #1 or #2 ranked GM they had at that time. I ended up just never drinking at work and landed in the ER due to dehydration.
My direct supervisor used to like to sneak up behind me and grab my sides or shoulders and yell to scare me. I’m very jumpy and would always scream. He’d laugh at me and tell me to chill out when I begged him to stop. When I complained to my team manager (same one as above) he gave me an essay written by some Harvard business school professor about being too sensitive to criticism. I was made to read it at home then sit in a room alone with the 2 men explaining what I had learned from it and how I’d stop complaining about the touching going forward. I spent many lunch hours bawling alone in my car.
I still can’t drive by the Austin building without almost barfing. If low level CS management behaved this way, I can’t imagine how the bigwigs in California act. F*** you Miles. I hope you rot in hell."
Direct quote on reddit and twitter by an Ex wow GM. And you wonder why there’s no GM now. Go figure. disgusting.
Any competent civil right lawyer would have had those two losers scalps hanging in front of his or her office on a flag pole in short order. And a wheelbarrow full of money paid to the pregnant lady.
And at that point, I released this is yet another “reddit” fact that has zero actually support. I know this might come as a shock but not everyone on the internet is actually truthful.
Why? Because I don’t take every word found on the internet as the truth? If I did that would mean the world is flat and we are the center of the universe. Sorry but I tend to take such unconfirmed claims with a mountain of salt.
payday!
