My manager has been creating a really hostile working environment for me. I’ve been feeling isolated for a really long time especially after some backhanded compliments about my sexuality (I’m lesbian). He would just bully me, like I was in high school mall over again. Plus he would only hire people he knew and they started to be really weird towards me too. One girl completely ignoring me after I mentioned I was gay.

He tried to fire me after trying to ruin my reputation saying that I stole food and slept on the job. I took a nap during my break and I would never steal. I honestly felt really discouraged and depressed. But angry.

I’m not a confrontational person at all and I was full of anxiety but I contacted my manager’s boss.

I’m not fired anymore!

I explained the situation and he transferred me to another location! I’m so happy! Not 100% what’s gonna happen to my old manager, I think more training. But I am just so happy for once in my life I stood up to a bully. Sounds so dumb but honestly it took a lot to reach out.
