Corporate Harassment Training Horror Stories

[PostImpatica]

Can everyone please share their Work Harassment Training stories here. I would like to get a sense of what others are going through in the work force. I can't tel if it's just my job or others are dealing with the same thing. It's gotten so bad I'm trying to look for another job, but it's hard the older you get.

I think there have been some brainstorming at the top recesses of society that have figured out they need to start laying the ground work to eventually remove Christians from the work force under the guise of "making a harassment free work environment for everyone". They've taken over Hollywood, media and our schools but next it to control your behavior through your pocketbook.

Last year or so I had the following test scenario: You are a manager and Fred comes to you and complains that Johnny is using the girls restroom, what do you tell Johnny? I of course said that Johnny was using the wrong restroom and I got the question wrong, I couldn't believe it! We've never even had any transgender policies that I ever even knew about and I've worked here for years. I thought I was going to fail the test but it let me continue and I still got my certification that year for Sexual Harassment training but I was sweating bullets. I was literally sick to my stomach for multiple reasons. I'm just trying to do a good job for my employer, working my butt off and bothering nobody when I literally feel like I'm being attacked, I have no other way to describe it, it's sickening. Why is it that employers worry so much about the possibility of harassing a transgender person (I don't even think we have any in our company) but they don't care about harassing a christian?

They had all these uncomfortable video scenes where this person or that person was made to feel uncomfortable, but not one scenario of a Christian being attacked and feeling uncomfortable.

This past month we had our new round of Harassment training and they are getting bolder and bolder. This time they are asking that everyone be an "Active bystander", meaning that wether you are involved or not, if you simply witness a so called "harassment" issue, that you need to notify HR. So they are now turning us all into little narcs.

Also included was the revelation of a new term called "micro aggressions". Where no single aggressive action my be actionable on it's own but taken as a whole over time, many small aggressions can be considered harassment. They showed a video example of a woman of eastern descent complaining about being asked to go by a different name because her name is hard to pronounce. She said, "I don't ask to call you by another name". After watching the video I thought to myself, they almost had me convinced! What would be wrong with her asking me is she can call me by another name, she can ask me? I can say no, correct? If I ask her, she can so no, correct? Why are people so sensitive? We can't even politely ask a question like this? What other super simple questions can we not ask? Can we get an app for this? How does this girl not know that I have a horrible memory and already have a hard time remembering peoples names. I'm the one horribly embarrassed because I know I'm screwing up her name every-time I try to say it and I can see on her face she's annoyed because to her "I'm not trying hard enough", everyone else has no problem. I guess just fire the stupid guy that can't say a foreign name properly. What If I'm in a tech company that is predominately middle eastern and I have to look like an idiot in front of everyone 10 times a day murdering her name while everyone around snickers.

Right now they aren't taking any actions regarding these LGBT harassment questions but I know the day is coming where HR will call you down just to have a chat. They'll say, "Oh, you're not in trouble, we just want to know your thought process". But they know its intimidating and causes people to conform and deny their core principles. Eventually it will lead to losing your job, I know that day is coming.

Christians are definitely persecuted in the workspace, I’ve lived through it, twice. I’ll share what I felt in the spiritual realm about my situation.

The first workplace I was persecuted in was a high tech startup. I worked as an accountant, HR and customer service under a female boss whom I believed had the Jezebel spirit. She was driven and ambitious about status and power and money, was downright arrogant and merciless against others once they no longer did as she pleased. She gave me a pay way below the market rate, but she kept increasing the workload. I started out as accountant, but then I was required to take on full time sales, HR and accountant - three roles all at once. The reason was that there wasn’t much to do for accounts and HR in a startup. I think she despised me as an accountant because my job doesn’t bring in money. The pay was glaringly unfair in light of the work I am required to do, but when I voiced my concerns, she turned against me and slandered me for things I never did. She denied all the contributions I’ve ever done and tried to make me look bad in front of my colleagues. I was forced to resign within three months. She was also arrogant against those she partnered with, treating them as though they owed her. They refused to even meet up with her again but she lied and said they were fired for incompetence which is why they never came to future meetings. She also tried to defame another colleague who resigned and said he never contributed anything to the company when in fact he did. I see the full Jezebel spirit at work in this unbeliever. But that was just a foretaste.

I encountered the Jezebel spirit again in a second company who was in an ex-colleague, again a female. This ex-colleague was very seductive and cunning, often pretended to be the victim in a situation so that male authorities or figures she preyed on would come to her aid. She would actively create situations whereby she would use words or actions to entice her victims to become antagonised against her. Then once she provoked her victims with her own wrongdoing she pretended to be the victim to outsiders, spreading lies to those who don’t know what’s going on about how she was being treated unfairly by her victims. She did it to all who worked with her so they left the company in anger and their commissions became hers even though she never did the work. She did it also to me eventually out of jealousy because a married male colleague she fancied treated me well. It was blatantly obvious that she tried to seduce that married man. Her lies about me negatively impacted my reputation and eventually spread to my boss. My boss doubted my character because of those false rumours and almost wanted to remove me from the company. But I proved to be innocent. In spite of that she was relentless in trying to ruin my working relationships and continued spreading false rumours about me in another way, all the while hiding her own sinister motives from her hearers. I know I could never defend myself so I resigned even though there was no wrong on my part. After I left I was struck with a spirit of suicide just like Elijah was upon confronting the queen Jezebel.

God in His great mercy eventually delivered me and even though I don’t have a salary now I was still supplied with all that I need. It was traumatising for sure but God used those episodes to bring me back to my first love. I’m so thankful He did. We are to expect persecution but when we are persecuted for Jesus and for righteousness we are blessed.
