BALLS OUT UPDATE 3
I should have known this was going to go on. And now I've finally had enough. You guys remember that back before Black Friday I had blogged about a co-worker making that lewd comment about me being transgender, throwing balls at me and making references to my genitalia, both my current and to be constructed genitals. I did the right thing. I reported it to my boss. I wrote the statement like he told me I needed to do. I waited. I'm still fucking waiting. No more. I've asked both assistant managers about it, when will it be handled and I've still gotten nothing. Now I'm seeking legal action. I shouldn't be forced to still work with him and pretend everything is okay. He didn't think anything of his remarks and actions because he told me so himself when I asked him about it. Well, I think a lot of it and I want proper discipline, not only for him but for the management and the company that allowed me to be insulted, humiliated and harassed for being out in my workplace. I go in there every day and bust my ass, going above and beyond and I'm still treated like shit. If anyone asks if I'm doing this out of anger, fuck yes I am. The incident hasn't been handled and it's been almost 4 months. I'm pretty sure they're wanting this to just go away. Well, it's not just going to go away.
The last time that I asked about the incident and what the hell is going on was nearly three more weeks ago. I asked and was told it was going to be handled on Monday. Monday has come and went and still nothing. I was also told that I couldn't be informed of any of the ongoings, that nobody knew anything. You know what that's code for? Its code for "Fuck you Dan you're not important, so we're going to try and sweep this under the rug." They're not going to have anything to sweep when I'm done.
Here's another kicker, as if this wasn't bad enough. They apparently knew they wanted to talk to him, but by the time they got round to talking to him, he'd left for the day. I lost my temper and yelled at the manager. "Then you call him and get him back here. You lie to him! Tell him he's forgotten something and he needs to come back and pick it up, then you lay down the law with him! He's stupid enough to believe that! This is exactly the problem with America!" In this moment, I wanted to smash something and completely lose my shit. Then when I asked when the fuck they were going to get around to this, talking to him, I was told that so and so is on vacation and he handles this kinda stuff. Oh, and the boss that I reported it to? He got a promotion and took off. The rage that I feel inside me is building. I just want to smash them all in the face for what they've done to me. They're just taking the miss now. Giving me empty excuses. They're not going to deal with it now. If they wanted to, they would have when it first happened. I'm not making threats, just expressing how I feel in a cool, collected manner so that I don't explode like I normally would. I'm trying to better my life.
And if that wasn't enough, he mocks the way I talk, trying out my accent and laughing at it. He says he likes it and that's why he does it, but I know the truth. I've asked him not to do it and he still continues on. He's also started stealing my things and hiding them in the store while it's open. So people could steal them or try and buy them. He knows how much I love my Bobble & Squeak knit beanie with a pompom and that it was made special just for me, so he stole it and hid it in the store so I'd have to go looking through everything and hope that a customer didn't take it. I wanted to cry. The hat is very special and very important. I wear it all the time as a thing of comfort and he just wanted to ruin it all for me. And he's still claiming that we're friends. Friends don't do that.

I feel completely used and abused at this place.
They don't value me as a human being. IF they didn't they would have handled this long before it came to this. I gave my place of employment plenty of time and chances to make things right and they didn't. I've reached out to GLADand using their amazing legal services will be able to defend my human rights and get justice for myself.
