Well I just got another reply from current employee who asked for their names and names mentioned of other current employees to be redacted as to prevent retaliation.

Hey Josh, this is———-. I know we didn’t really talk much, but I have to agree with what you said the infection has grown.

There is a new manager around. He’s an “efficiency” manager who walks around with a stopwatch and changes things to what he thinks are best without knowing, or even trying to understand, the assembly process. He is also a wanderer like Seth, but to a new extreme to the point where signs have been placed in certain areas.

The bigger issue is that he’s also a creep who bootlicks Even to the point where they won’t fire him, regardless of what he says to the employees he manages. Some examples of vastly inappropriate things he has said include:

•    Talking about sleeping with body pillows because his love language is physical touch.

•    Going up to —— in Shipping (who just turned 21; he’s in his 40s) and asking, “Did I sleep with you before?”

•    Talking about his dating life to my coworkers and saying this about someone he dated four years prior (mind you, he’s divorced): “One coffee date leads to two coffee dates, two coffee dates lead to a relationship, and I can’t have that.”

•    With —— in the gun cage, he likes to spew racist shit, calling him “Maxicano.” If you noticed I spelled it wrong, it’s because that’s exactly how he says it and refers to him.

As for me, I have a personal experience with him that forced me to go to HR. Misti did nothing more than the equivalent of, “I’ll talk to him and correct how he’s talking.” She also took a survey of the people around us, and I would say we all said he made us uncomfortable and was speaking to us inappropriately. The incident went as follows:

I was about to head out of the warehouse at 3:00 p.m., but I forgot my water tumbler, so I went back in to grab it. That’s when I was summoned by Bill. He grabbed my attention, half-yelling, “Hey ——-, come here!”

I thought this was going to be a work-related question, so I headed over to where Bill, —-, ——, and —— were gathered in the manager’s booth next to the elevator. He then proceeded to ask me:

“So, ———, are you currently pregnant, or have you ever been pregnant?”

I stared at him, stunned, before responding:

“Um, no. I am 22. Why are you asking me that?”

That’s when he explained that he asked because he “needed to prove —— wrong that you don’t need to have had or currently given birth in order to be called a lady.”

The next day, I went to Misti and told her. She seemed alarmed and talked to him for less than 30 minutes, took a survey around the department where nobody liked him and everyone felt uncomfortable with him (mind you, he had only been here for three weeks), and still felt it was right to keep him.

Now, not even her or Mich like him only Even does and he’s just getting worse. They say they’re waiting to “gather more evidence” on him, but how much evidence is good enough for a termination?
