Opinion
Opinion: Many times management will harass an individual, because of productions issues. This is typical and something that one can take seriously or not. This depends on if you are concerned about your numbers whether delivering packages, loading trucks, or how long you take in driving a particular leg. That is up to you. Once again, harassment can be taken lightly or seriously, depending on the individual The one common thing all employees are allowed, is to work in an environment in which they are not intimidated or harassed on any level. This was the environment we all thought we were going to work in when we approached the company for employment, but the company also sells the idea that we will be working in a particular environment and should ensure that a respectful environment exist for all employees. So expecting such an environment is not unreasonable in the least.
Problem
Problem: Harassment happens despite what is written in the contract. The problem is the individual who does not know their rights and exercise those same rights. Not knowing what do when harassed is the real problem, not the fact someone is being intimidated or harassed in the first place. The following is the process and it does work.
