I'm sorry to hear that, Brendan. Could you please provide more details about the harassment? Also, could you let us know your location as workplace harassment laws can vary depending on the country or region?
I’m in Wisconsin and what happened was since I’ve started I’ve been moved around to different plants * times in a month. Then I got injured at work and everyone treats me differently now. And then I have someone in the office talking to people about me outside of work who have then messaged me
