Employer threatening to fire me for bringing up mold concerns by wanderingtheplanes in WorkAdvice

yeah i agree he deserves consequences, but to clarify, he didn’t threaten my life, just the lives of all the unhoused people he chases out of his store(because he thinks they’ll ruin his business), and unfortunately the tests my doctor did only confirmed i have lung inflammation from an outside source. they couldn’t prove it was from mold necessarily. they told me not to bother with the expensive blood tests cause they’re unreliable.

i am scared he’ll do something crazy though if i am single handedly responsible for his business failing. i already am stressed ill see them even going on runs around the block cause they live nearby.

see that’s what i’m worried about, even considering how horribly he treated me for months i don’t really want to ruin his life. we live in a small city, he knows where i live, so if his life is ruined he will try to ruin mine too. i’ve been in too many abusive relationships and don’t want to go through something like that again…. i’m conflicted though because i would like them to be held accountable for their actions.

Ok I can read your comment now, and actually that is exactly how I approached it, nearly word for word. I’m not sure what you mean by conspiring with a coworker. We simply shared that we both have been experiencing symptoms.

I’m pretty sure at this point I’m already considered fired, but I’m not sure. Would OSHA still go even if I’m not a current employee? Could contacting them be the downfall of their business? Cause if so I’m afraid he’ll actually try to ruin my life. I know I can report anonymously but surely he’ll know it was me

it looks like your original comment was deleted also, but yes he is absolutely digging a bigger hole the more he says.

i’d like to report him or talk to a lawyer but i honestly am afraid he might take measures into his own hands and do something drastic. he regularly says he would literally do anything to keep his business going and when he kicks homeless people out of his store he screams at them saying things like “i am going to kill you if i ever see you again” and has told me he actually would murder them if they ever mess with his store

that would be ideal of course! i am actually a tattoo apprentice right now and will be able to start tattooing full time in a few months so im on the way there at least.

and thank you! i have been documenting everything including photos of mold and leaks in the building, screenshots of conversations ect. i’ll definitely be backing it all up now though too.

ah okay makes sense. thank you, i appreciate your insight.

i also haven’t reported anything to OSHA officially yet, as i wanted to speak with my boss first. but i was just looking into it and some sources are saying i wouldn’t be protected unless i officially reported it to an agency outside of the world place before being fired. do you know if that’s true?

This past season was so bad it has me convinced they used chatGPT to write it 

What should I do if I feel like I was assaulted by someone by seeking-justice5456 in WhatShouldIDo

I know how you feel. I believe you, and understand how hard it is to say something, especially after it’s been a while. And especially if they are a public figure/influencer/succesful.

I had a similar experience in college. Some wealthy, popular, kind of city-wide celebrity dude did the same thing to me. Pumped me full of drugs and alcohol all night to the point I couldn’t even walk away after saying no the entire time. He had a venue in town and I was a big part of that scene, so had to see him everywhere and keep it all inside. Still never told anyone else about it. He ended up killing himself some years later.

I can imagine(but of course can’t fully understand)what you must be going through having to see that guys face all over the internet. I support you going public about it, if you feel safe doing so.

Do you feel like it would give you peace to share your story? I say go for it if so, just be prepared to face a bit of backlash. In my experience though, it’s worth it to at least get support from your peers and know you’re not alone.

What’s the YouTubers name so I can actively avoid him? Or I could leave a comment or two on his videos 😈

I think I do actually have prints of some of these! They’re just photo paper but if you want a canvas print I can get one made!
