Rant 😡💢 Welp, I'm pissed

I work in a group home for disabled clients. At a house meeting a few months ago, my boss said something transphobic so a coworker and I (both trans) walked out of the meeting.

After walking-out, I texted her and politely let her know that it wasn't appropriate, which she was very coy about. Instead of growing as a person and doing better, she talked shit about me to (at least one) coworker, who proceeded to make a fake Facebook account and attack me online.

Because of this, I reported her to admin and HR, who promised they handled the issue. That's whatever, but this coworker is being such a dick that it's making work a very toxic environment.

Then tonight comes around (I work graveyards) and my shift partner called out for the evening for a medical emergency. Boss did not even try to find me relief and when I called her thismorning to ask if I would get any help with the hardest part of my shift, she caught herself in a lie and lied further. She said she didn't think that she could find anyone that late and then said that she couldn't get anyone that late. Multiple coworkers have let me know they were never contacted and that they totally would have helped me.

I'm so done with her bullshit.

She is refusing to do the work she is paid for, and endangering the residents. Contact HR

JCAHO and OSHA, too...

The Joint Commission's toll-free number for filing a complaint is (800) 994-6610. The hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff are available to answer calls weekdays from 8:30 AM–5 PM Central Time. 

You can also file a complaint online at jcwebnoc.jcaho.org/QMSInternet/IncidentEntry.aspx. The Joint Commission's website provides more information about what to include in a complaint. 

You can submit a complaint anonymously, or you can provide your name and contact information. If you provide your contact information, the Joint Commission can inform you about the actions taken in response to your complaint. 

The Joint Commission is a💥 private accreditor,💥 not a regulatory body, and it does not have the authority to shut down a healthcare organization

OSHA won’t give a shit about this unless they’re physically getting threatened. Document everything so when you get fired there will be grounds for a healthy lawsuit, email texts, record phone conversations if you can or if she says something that doesn’t make sense ask her to text it or email. Any decent employment lawyer would tear this up if you got fired.
