there was all kind of drama at work the last few days. a while ago, probably late nov, early dec, around the same time i was being stalked, a dealer called S got fired for using the N word in front of a black supervisor and some black players. i never really knew the whole story about it, but i guess she said it because the supervisor, A, had been sexually harassing her and grabbing her all day. i had heard that it actually was the players that turned her in for the racial slur, not A. but she was fired for it.
then shortly after that another dealer, R, went to a female pit boss and asked them what to do if you were getting sexually harassed. R ended up filing a report about being sexually harassed by A.
now i’ve known about this since december. one of the people R asked for advice told me about it when i was complaining about my stalker. R was really upset because nothing had been done to A about it. she expected him to be suspended and fired just like S was. but then it gets complicated. R was good friends with S, and it seemed like she might have been setting A up because A is the one who got S fired.
it is not a stretch at all to think that A was sexually harassing anyone, because he was always a big flirt, asking everyone out, etc. it’s seriously not a surprise at all. but it does seem kind of odd with the whole S fired thing, etc. especially because of that A was supposed to have said: “let’s fuck on the table, the cameras won’t see”. that just wasn’t a thing he’d say. even when his exwife who hates his guts was asked if that was something he’d say, she said no.
so anyway. now it’s a few months later, and R is upset because still nothing has been done to A about the harassment. she was advised to go to HR about it. when she did, she found out that her complaint was never filed with HR. which is typical of our managers, given the fact that they told me it was my fault that stalker was stalking me. i highly doubt that any of my complaints against the player were filed either. once at HR, they took over, and A was suspended and fired on Monday night. he said he wasn’t going to fight it cuz R was native and she’d win anyway.
so none of us who know the whole story know what to really think. all i know for sure is that our management needs some serious sensitivity training, and need to be a hell of a lot more unsexist. it’s just not right. maybe this incident will get everyone to realize there are things that can’t be said, there are things to be done when behavior crosses the line, and people will be more careful.
