¡°I am a 29F industrial mechanic at a bread factory. The co-owner of the factory is a very old man who is ¡®old school¡¯ and hasn't liked my presence from day 1,¡± the Reddit user wrote, adding that she is still on her probationary period. She explained that her immediate boss told her her probationary period would be extended despite having ¡°zero complaints¡± after her performance.
What surprised her was her employer informing her that she would lose her job because she is a woman, and "the co-owner doesn't like to see females in traditional male roles." She went to the Reddit community for help, understanding that finding a new job in the current market would be difficult.
Many suggested she email her manager about the problem, which she did and then gave an update. ¡°My supervisor responded. He said he's going to arrange a meeting with HR to discuss this further,¡± she wrote.
People on the internet suggested what she could do
Redditors came to the rescue to help the woman stuck in the toxic workplace. Here's what people shared.
