This is where the train comes off the tracks. There are no maternity/paternity leave benefits, it is FMLA (unpaid leave if you are lucky) or absolutely nothing. HR does nothing to help and protect workers from harassment, discrimination, or ostracism. If you went to HR to get help for any issues it would put a huge target on your back. It’s sickening. In Inspection, our supervisor is hostile towards certain workers, would attempt to hurt workers, lacked communication skills, discriminated against specific workers, and would lie about you if he didn’t like you. He would single out/target those who would not suck up to him, as well as disregard safety protocols if they didn’t fit his agenda. We weren’t expected to have our own functioning lives outside of work and in his own words, “I’m 57 and I let work tell me what my life schedule is”. It’s sad to say as well, he was not qualified to start and/or finish the inspection process of any material that passed through the department. As much as I cared about my coworkers, I would not recommend this company to any colleagues, peers, or friends of mine as a place of fair employment. I encourage those who choose to pursue employment/careers here to be very wary of your friends and foes, as well as to not voice whether you are pregnant, or have another long term issue as you will be discriminated against.
