So I’m a target inbound (I unload thousands of boxes from trucks) worker and there’s a crazy manger named Erica who has decided to be a nuisance to me. She has

• hit me with a railing, which injured my arm and caused me to lift with my chest. Consequently, I have permanent chest pain. It feels like my chest is being pulled apart.

• thrown my work on the floor. After I reported her to HR, she walked up to me and threw all of my work on the floor and walked away.

• hit me with boxes. For example she’ll be grabbing a large box near me and allow the box to brush against my arm. She knows im in a close vicinity to her and doesn’t care.

• told me to “move” out her way.

• falsely accused me of not calling out properly (despite my phone records proving otherwise).

• After I rerouted her for abuse, Target still made me work closely with her which enabled her to retaliate.

• I also have a pre-existing medical condition that was injured due from her attacks.

I reported her to HR but they told me that she hasn’t done anything to warrant a response. I have dates, times, and incident reports of all her actions. Additionally, for the last two weeks I’ve been working with work restrictions but I am still in pain. People keep telling me I have a strong case to sue but I don’t know how. I have called employment attorneys and personal injury attorneys and they haven’t been any help.

Do I have a case? Because I am hitting a dead end. I have been calling attorneys for the last two weeks and I’m starting to give up.

Get out of there

what are the attorneys saying?

As long as you can document this you might have a lil case cuz
Edit: I don’t know anything

You still work there?? You better than me OP. all hell would’ve broke loose

YES

You should leave idk anything about suing or court for that matter but i mean it seems you got a lot a proof so i would say go for it

this is insane behaviour from anyone nevermind someone working for a national retailer i'm sorry you've had to be on the receiving end of this despicable behaviour. she shouldn't be working anywhere behaving like that.

Hope you get some compensation bro

You can definitely sue tho idk how to go about it. Hope you get that check you deserve

You can probably sue target in general for not doing anything about this

run her over with a forklift

look into that guy’s case that won all those Ms against Tesla for racist remakes

So there’s a $150 consultation fee just to speak with a employment attorney. I just keep explaining the situation to the different receptionists. I haven’t spoken to an actual employment attorney yet. I’m not trying to pay that fee only to be directed to someone else.

Now I’m going to call a workman’s comp attorney.

Thank you! It’s truly shocking how she’s able to get away with this. Then HR excuses her behavior so they are a problem too. I don’t take the job too serious but being in a abusive situation was not part of the job description.

this sounds terrible, i feel sorry for you :(

Thing that might work:
1. Record her behaviour. Not easy and kinda risky, but if you show that to hr, they might actually do something. Or even better: Go online about it. Tweet at target. Show this a news outlet or something. Maybe it well get the necessary attention.

2. Post this on reddit. Reddit sucks ass most of the time, but there are people who know more about these things than ktt. Find a specific subreddit, one about work, lawyer advise etc. and u might be able to find what u need.

She has done stuff to other employees but they won’t speak out against her. My next step is going to the news station and leaving a google review so everyone knows

I’m going to try this thanks

Bro why the f*** would you still be working there? F*** that. Go someone else where they’d treat you with respect.

Do any of her actions seem prejudice in nature? Or is she just a c*** to everyone?

I don't want to victim blame but...

But yeah, some legal action needs to be taken.

how u gonna let a girl do that

For some reason it’s hard to get these mfs punished

My ex was kissed by one of her managers and she tried getting the police involved and they were no help…HR just offered to get HER transferred instead of punishing the creep manager

It’s a bunch of bs that these people in power can get away with anything…I’d just get out of there if you can’t get anyone to help you with this

she likes you

She’s very rude to young employees. I’ve noticed she treats the older employees with more respect

yikes
