    Default It's over. Yay!

    I'm off to see my employer at 5.15pm tonight. It's over! I'm unemployed because of his failure to act on the bullying I've had to endure. I have to get out!

    Back is getting better. Physio sais one more mnth off and then get into it.
    I'm on holidays now. Gotta be positive. 4 weeks.

    I'm sick of the physical assults ( shoulder ramming and light head butts ). six of'em last Thursday.
    And the mnth before ,..and the last 3 yrs of having thinners squirted all over me and being spat on and ..... See previous post, Workplace harrasment.
    My CEO sais he's sick of hearing about it and so and so,... who does it to me.

    They won't sack me cause thier frightned I'll sue. VCAT.
    At a hearing they would lie. So how can my notes be proof all of my accusations?

    Cause of my back I've hardly been at work for the last mnth.

    This is what they've been waiting for............ Me to resign. B....s....trds!

    I will endeavour to apeal to their sense of decency and ask for 3 weeks more, pay than just receiving my six owing to me. That they should at least see me through to the end of Jan so as to make ends meet.
    I am debt free besides board and food and petrol. YAY!
    I don't want to be a burden on anyone!

    Thankyou to all who give a S !

    And for responding previously.

    Anyway. I think I'll head up to Portland to go fishing for a week.

    Cheers. Tony.

    P.s..Have any of you seen anything I've made? I thought not.
    I'd better hop to it. Got a shirt load of Jarrah pickets I scored last week.

    Tony.

    I'm so lucky that I've somewhere to live and have family support.

    Moving on.

    So what sort of fish are you likely to catch in Portland.

    Its a pity it had to come to this, but your health is more important. Look after yourself, and remember just because you resigned, doesn't mean you cant sue. You can claim (Quite rightly from your posts) you were forced out by the harassment.

    Were your notes mailed to the boss?
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    So sorry to hear you have been having such a hard time. It makes you feel crazy after a while, that sort of thing. At my last job the woman I was supposes to work with just never acted like I was there, which was very weird. Would say hello if I said hello, but never acknowledge me by herself. All very unsettling, cos the place seems so friendly from the outside. Obviously not as physical and nasty as what you have been putting up with, but..... Was a relief getting sacked from there as well. Something else will turn up.

    Have fun fishing.

    Default It's upsetting not having smwhr to go each day.

    Cliff?.....Off to Portland to see SteveP...WWF.
    Garfish....Kingfish....plenty snapper. Huge variety of sharks. I release nearly all.
    On the breakwall, the reports I'm getting tell me the fish are all over. Yay!
    Fish right next to my car. 20 mtrs deep. Little stove on tailgate for bacon nd eggs.
    I'm always up about 5.3oam to start by 6 till it gets dark.
    Plenty off other spots to go to as well.

    Gra? Thankyou. Yes I have shown the boss some notes. I've made a few on this comp in Word too.
    Basically they deny everything I say. So that must mean I'm a deliberate troublemaker or I'm a nutter. You decide! ha he.
    I told them Ystrdy that I didn't tel them about last Thursdays pushing and shouldering cause they will tell me where to go. Again!
    They are sick of it. So am I. Who do I tell then?,I said to them ystrdy.
    I said shall I go to the police? They laughed. About the assult I mean.

    I got paid out $31oo. It'll last me till end of Jan. I'll make it
    I'm on holidays. A little earlier than I wanted. By 2 weeks. Gotta be positive.

    They said ystrdy, " D denies he hit you, head butted you ( very light ) and pushed ? shoulder shunted you".
    Cause my back is poor I can't do anything. I shouldn't anyway. I'd rather take one so I can really get into them legally.

    They said " So where are all these accusations coming from?"
    I believe D did admit to it to them BUT, they are saying he didn't so as to avoid further confrontation from me.

    Tea lady? I hate that! D never spoke to me either untill I spoke to him. I am always kind in beginning the days work. How rude and mean some people are.
    I always start off the morning with a cheery voice. Gotta start things off to see if you can make them better.


    They said ystrdy " We are going to have a talk to them all tmmrrw". So what does that tell you? If this stuff didn't occur why have a meeting about it?

    Part owner G has over 3 nd a hlf yrs, for his amusement.......

    Spat on me often.
    Poured thinners all over me often.

    Stood very close with an ignigted lighter, after going to get mine from my bench.

    Grabbed me around my throat 3 times.
    Humilitate me in front of visiters who are passing through.

    Goes through my personal stuff and helps himself to my food and choc.

    D often hid my plans so I would spend valuable time searching for them.
    He mixed up my sorted screws so when I screwed a panel onto a cab side, scew would come through. Yes! I know ! Always size check the screws.
    He would ram saw sliding table into me and my back.
    I asked recently, " D will you continue to F me up?" He said " yes..because I enjoy it".
    He would lightly scratch a panel and I would get yelled at for not being careful for when I moved cabs into the setup. I saw him do it and he denies it. Went straight to the boss. I was blasted.
    He hides my tools. I end up with the crappy drills and squares. He uses my bench and deliberately leaves me a mess to clean.
    If I don't know how to do some little job , he wont help and pass on info so I can get on with it.

    M who is CEO told me once in only my 3rd mnth there 2oo5 " be careful, D will try to frrrcuk you up".

    I believe they are worried that they've not heard the last of me.

    M then told me that another 3 times since.

    Now if you're the CEO and you make such a statement you ought to not allow these things to happen.
    What a stupid man for admitting this to me.

    G and M have both endorsed all of this stuff and think it's all harmless fun. I like to have a little fun too. But not as described.

    I am always polite to people so that I may have peace and cooperation in working with them. BUT! If they force me to react I will. But I wait for a while and listen before I give up.
    I try to never instigate a bad attitude or reaction but If I'm forced ...I will respond likewise.

    All I want now is to penalise them to teach them that this behaviour can't continue with others.

    I am not satisfied to just walk away. And let D get away with all he has done to me.

    I want no harm to come to anyone! You know what I mean.

    Tony,

    Having read this thread with interest. Mine was not physical abuse like yours but unfounded accusations (lies). In short, it ended up in court and everything was retracted. I don't work there anymore (left the day the cout case was finialised).

    Have some time in Portland (SWMBO has relos there and her Old Man was born there) it's a great place for fishing.

    Take the advice and see a lawyer. Get it all documented, even the comments from the bosses. If anyone saw the abuse name them (the lawyers will interview them and get statements). Remember this, when/if it goes to court, the lawyers TAKE NO PRISONERS. When people are confronted in a court about truth or lies (protecting their job), the truth really does come out as when they are in jail they have no job.

    Remember, you have done nothing wrong.

    Hope it all works out for you.

    The reason I asked if you have given the detasil in writing to the boss, was its easier for your lawyer. Go get yourself a good lawyer and take those b..... to the cleaners. If you dont do it, the next bloke will get the same treatment or worse (These types of people will increase the severity until it goes real bad). The next bloke might be some poor aprentice that cant stand up for himself. So go get them, if not for you, for the poor next bloke its the right thing to do, your not doing anything wrong. You are doing the right thing by reporting them.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Hi Tony

    I've been following this since your first posts and it always sounds like groundhog day. You say you are going to move on, but here we are again years later and although you aren't working there anymore it sounds like you're still not moving on. And your posts are sounding more and more irrational. This must have taken a terrible toll on you emotionally, so why don't you get some professional help to sort yourself out. Your health is more important than sorting out problems at a workplace that no longer concerns you. The next new guy may knock the bullies flat on their backs or take them to A Current Affair with hidden camera video, which seems to be popular these day.
    Take care of yourself.

    Cheers
    Michael

    Whilst I agree with this sentiment, let's not forget that the kitty is $3100 and it has to last for 6 weeks LIVING. A lawyer will pocket that (and more) in no time at all.

    It's a very hard place to be in, but emotionally the best thing to do is to find a way to close the door on this sorry tale and move on.
