JA: When did this begin? Was the work environment intimidating, hostile, or abusive?
Customer: not at first. I work in a cafteria in a school district so I happened to me one other time when I first started this job. 5 years ago. now with a different set of people in a different kitchen within the same district it is happening again. The first kitchen was very intimidating as a new comer trying to learn the new job. I was made to feel as if I were dumb instead of teaching me how to do things. fast-forward to now and If I said something about a co-worker in the privacy of my own home. whatever I said is being repeated at work in a way where I can not respond so the work environment is becoming hostile... there's a lot of passive aggression going on.

Hello! My name is***** I am a Certified Nursing Assistant. About 3 years ago I was brought up on charges of abusing a resident and conduct of unbecoming an employee. I was supposed to have a hearing with the state. As to date never happened. After I was charged my employeers gave me the option to stay working with the county or go on my own pending outcome of the hearing. I chose to stay working. They sent me to a different department and told me that my hearing should be in 3 weeks to 4 months. This never occurred. After about a year, they sent me to another department in the county and was there for over 2 years. this year in March with a days notice I was told to report back to the original employment the next day.I asked what about my hearing and findings and they told me everything was taken care of.. I never was informed of any hearings or dispositions . .I was wondering if there is any recourse I could take in maybe sueing for defamation or wrongful charging me for these allegations they made.
