Hello everyone, my name is Jonett and I am a single parent of two beautiful children. My God said he would put no more on me than I can bare. I beleive that he entended for me to bare it for as long as I have. I had been on my job five long years and three of them I had endored harassment emotional distress each day feeling terrorized frightened. Reporting behaviors to Management, only to see that Management condones the behaviors. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut Iv'e had police sent to my house claiming that I had stolen from the company (someone told my employer this). most recent Police were sent to my house stating that I had made a terrioist threat in regards to my Supervisor once again (someone told them this). I was taken off of work on July 14th, 2011 and never was able to return. First it would only last through the investigation. I have yet to here the outcome of the investigation. It all came down to someone told them that I left work early, I was given a option either I resign or if they terminate me that with the added stipulations that I would not qualfy for un-employment. So you see here I am trying to go through the chain of cammand to assist me with the harassment and the hostile work environment and it caused me to lose my job. I guess its true what they say never take on management. Here I am no income I havent paid rent in a few month my car note is due again as well as another month for rent. Oh let me not leave out the fact the I just recently was released from the hospital August 3rd to be exact. I have Kidney issues, issue that put me in stable condition in the matter of minutes one minute I was waiting for my doctors appointment in her office the next minute the emergancy transport was coming to get me. I still have this issue but I couldn't stay in the hospital for one I couldn't afford the medical bill and second I couldn't leave my daughter at home another night alone. My daughter and I are all we have. For me to be at a point where I see no means of me preventing us from being put out on the streets no means of storing our belongings no means of putting food on the table. I didn't quilify for public assistance because of my final check from my employer came this month which went to back rent so I have to wait until next month and re-apply. By then I wont have a address a car. I dont understand it who better quilfy than a person who has been paying taxes faithfully for the passed 18 years a person who has come upon some hard time such as I. Im not asking for a hand out Im asking for a hand up. I am not a lazy person and I have never tried to sit around and do nothing as a matter of fact I just recently earned my Bachelors Degree and yes I was working five days a week and was going to school on the weekends. Not to toot my own horn but I also made the Deans List. I am what I strive to be and I wil be what I strive to become. Just there are sometimes we (single parents) may need that hand up. This is why many refuse to strive for that dream because of what can happen in between. the fear of losing the fear of not have. I was very angry for what my Supervisor has put me through. Her actions had a impact on not just me but my daughter My Supervisor put us in the dark for five long days, because of her errors on my timesheet. She was gone on vaction not once did anyone from management acknowledge that there was an error not until after she came back. Well I do thank you for letting me vent. I'm HURTING HURTING BAD I LOST MY JOB MY RETIREMENT MY SECURITY AT LEAST IF NOTHING ELSE I KNEW I WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY CHILDREN SOMETHING WHEN I EXPIRED LOST THAT TOO. GOD SAID HE WOULD PUT NO MORE ON ME THAN I CAN BARE AMEN!
==================
All we need is a hand up....I lost my job about three months ago and my husband is pulling all the weight, and it is a lot. He needs a truck loan but at this point we just need to catch up our mortgage. Things have been bad for awhile and we are trying to fix our credit with a debt settlement company but at the moment we are in trouble. Can anyone please help us? My husband drives 18 wheeelers and if he could get another truck we could pull our selves out of this muck.
