Sorry for the length.
I’ve posted before how my job only provided 3 disposable masks for office staff in the beginning and the office staff has to provide their own cleaners and handsanitizers. Let’s rewind to 2 days ago.
I finally am able to purchase masks and begin wearing them. I’m sat 4ft or less from a “old timer” Co- worker. She used to be my old supervisor. She’s also the ad nauseum Karen of covid information as long as it doesn’t relate to how she does and behaves. She’s morbidly obese, diabetic and has high blood pressure. She has wiped her area repeatedly with dollar store cleaner. But talks incessantly outward facing from her cubicle about anything and everything for hours without having completed her work and walks like t-rex when passing my cubicle I would attach a picture but I’m not sure how to. I’ll make it my profile photo how close we are.
1st day I wore a mask (2 days ago) was threatened by our oil dispatcher that she’d kick me down the fucking stairs for making her nervous. To calm her, I explained why I had chosen to wear a mask because I’m so close to old supervisor. She didn’t have to worry but I had recently read how covid travels through speech and I’m protecting myself. She told old supervisor and old supervision went person to person asking if she had coughed or anything. Then called me “fucking crazy”.
I survived that day. The next morning I told my boyfriend I was shaking and didn’t want to go to work. I said I’m wearing my mask anyway.
Everyone was cold. But I was able to do my work, for the first 5 hrs. Only 1 question if I was sick and that’s the reason for the mask. Which I said I’m not sick I feel safer. All the ladies in the office, waited 5 hrs until the owner left the building and then had their chosen bitch corner me in my cubicle. Verbally attack me for more than half an hour. My supervisor joined in stating “I come here not wearing a mask because I trust everyone else is doing what they’re supposed to, I know you’re feeling ganged up on (at which I pointed to the 4 other women surrounding me, while still sat in my cubicle) the whole time I’ve stated I’m not sick and why I feel safe wearing a mask.
Supervision: “In these times we can’t be too careful, if you’re wearing a mask we can’t trust what you do and where you’ve been. You might be sick”
At which their chosen gargoyle stated, I’m around kids I have a right to know what you do and my risk. What can you do to make me feel safer.
I packed my shit and left. Mind you old supervisor had already hidden an exposure and only waited for test results and said she wasn’t feeling well, got a negative and came back to work without Everyone being informed and dispatcher got tested bc she “felt like it” with her boyfriend. And never quarantined either
I clearly stated because of that, how they lied that another supervisor took a 2wk vacation (quarantined) and no one is protecting me. I’m protecting myself. I have an audio witness to the whole 2 days. I stayed in a Bluetooth call and NY is a 1 party state.
Got a call the next day from the one threatening to kick me down the stairs telling me to come back because I need the money.
No. Just no
