Employee Hit By A Co-Worker, What Next?
A Reader Asks This Question:
I am so infuriated. My mom works at an old folks home in Maryland. she has a hostile coworker whom she had to ask to do some of her work one day. the woman refused and long story short, she got on the elevator with my mom and jabbed her finger in my moms chest several times. my mom got out of the elevator and reported it to her boss, the maint. director.
well today everyone on maint. staff had a meeting about this. there were approx. 8 people there including my mom, this woman and her supervisor. as soon as my mom started to talk about the issue she had with this woman, the woman gets up and goes to her flailing her fists in my mothers face (although not actually striking her) in front of everyone. my moms supervisor did nothing. so my mom went to the boss of the entire building whom she had also told of the Original assault.
This woman told her that she wasn’t going to do anything to her and when my mom ask that she be written up the woman refused.
i am so angry i could just scream. i know that for treatment like this there has to be something like race or sex or mental abilities to be considered workplace harassment, but i just want to know what i should do. my mom loves her job and i would hate to see her quit or worse get fired because of this woman.
