The worst place to work - ever.
Okay, don;t get me wrong, we don't all have jobs that make us jump outta bed, eager to go to every morning, but my belief is that one should not have to DREAD going to work to the extent that I, as well as several other staff (ironically all women) felt.
Also, I know we don't all LOVE our bosses... but there is a certain limit on just how much one should have to take from their boss or immediate supervisor.
The owner/head trainer is, simply put, a sexist pig, who will not hesitate to belittle you with words or nasty comments, and expect you to shut up and take it - ESPECIALLY if you are a woman. Any opposition to his crude verbal abuse would result in unprofessional scolding (sometimes to the point of actually YELLING, right there in front of the clientele) and worse, to my experience just last night, physical contact.
Now yesterday was not my first time being told things like ""You always do this wrong"", ""you can't do anything right"", ""when I tell you something, you just shut up and do it"", etc, etc... but apparently Mr. Ahmed Mohammed didn't like when I confronted him and told him I didn't appreciate his disrespectful tone and treatment of myself and the other female staff.
When going to the computer to clock out of my account and leave for good, he continued to very loudly and unprofessionally yell at me, demean me, and get all up in my face while yelling, until he had the nerve to reach over the desk, and actually GRAB my hand from the computer mouse as I was still trying to log out of my work account.
After a few more minutes of me confronting him with inappropriate touching on the workplace, and unprofessional disciplinary methods, I quit the job, walked out, and proceeded to write an email to the other person in charge, the Asian woman, about the incident, also informing her that I would likely file a grievance about the actions of her partner.
I still have not even received a response from her (and after working here a few months, I am aware that she usually responds to work related emails within the hour, so I am going to assume that she is ignoring my predicament).
Ladies, beware.
