Hostile Work Environment

I have not posted in some time. As you may have guessed by my post title, my new job didn't go so well.

Men. (What 2 people in my department think they are.) Because I try to keep my language and comments in the general area of family conversation, I will not put into words what I think they are.

When they heard I bumped into the department, they made it known to many that they were going to see to it that I didn't qualify. If that were to happen, I would be out the door with no job.

One of them was to train me on third shift no less. I finally went to the Union Hall and said I would not, could not let him train me. I went to first shift where I had 2 great guys training me.

I almost made myself sick each day having to go to work. I quit eating and got very little sleep. The stress of being afraid I would run into one of them and wether or not I could physically do the job was getting to me. I would come home from work and actually start counting the hours until I would have to go back to work.

I started thinking about what I would need to do to get a job outside of the plant. First I would need 2 good feet. I saw a surgeon and on Dec.13 I had surgery on my right foot.

I will be out on hospital pass for eight weeks. Then my left foot. Eight more weeks.

Maybe my seniorty won't hold that _ _ _ _ job when I get back.

I hope.
