And if you didn't report them to HR, you're part of the problem.
I’m with you 110% but it’s so bad here that everyone from the top down is like this. The mining industry is pretty bad.
Jesus, if I knew I could 100% get an abuse payout from being abused at work I'd wear a wire or invest in some camera glasses, get a lawyer & burn that place to the fucking ground. "Mine owner" sounds like they'd make for a nice fat pinata.
I bet they don't even give you the HR training that would inform you how exposed they are here.
Yep pretty much you hit the nail on the head. We don’t really get any training on HR issues. I remember a few years ago there was a female employee that complained she was getting sexually harassed. HR didn’t do anything. All they did was move her to a different department and the person who was doing the harassing got away with less than a slap on the wrist.
For one incident, that might be enough, but if you can show it's a culture there, that the people at the top knew or participated, then it could get expensive.
Yes very true. The other issue is that being in a small rural town there is a lot of the good old boys you scratch my back I scratch yours happens a lot here not just at the job site, but in life in general here.
