   Someone that was done dirty 14 Aug 2023

   Girl, I don’t know you but I was treated badly by the employees there too and quit 2 years ago. Several employees that were there when I was were racist yet called me racist with nothing to prove it by and the only white people that was working there were on their side to save their own butts. There was one that “cooked” there that called a couple of us “racist white bitches” because we laughed about something that had nothing to do with her but she took it personal due to her own history that I knew nothing about. The "manager" is the one that informed myself and another about it but did nothing to discipline her for it and then denied that it happened when she wanted to get rid of me. I, also, had medical issues with bleach that her and another african american employee used against me to continue their hatefulness and racial intent.
   The manager, at that time, Shawneequa, aka Nikki, told tales on me, talked with the trouble-making people that stayed there to get the “goods” on me so that she could get me fired. She also did little sneaky things like having residents do polls picking who they like best between employees and things of that nature. One of her little "buddy" friends was always involved in her schemes with her. (I was treated like crap by some african americans as well as white residents and retaliated against because I didn’t allow them to walk all over me). She had it in for me for a long while and used anything she could against me to cause me to lose my job. She was a horrible manager. They always left me to deal with everything too, like water leaks, and anything else they didn’t know how to nor want to deal with. One day, they held a meeting that was a flat out witch hunt. I was the target of their little lynch mob, set out to not only get me to quit but also to throw all kinds of hate my way to my face. Management did not show up for the meeting so I was alone to deal with this. The african employee that called me and another a “racist white bitch” ran her mouth the whole meeting toward me trying to act holier than thou although no one for the most part liked her and I heard many residents say that she got mad at them often and only pretended to care. She had the nerve to deny the issues I had with smelling and the use of bleach and although it was known since I started there, she tried to act like I was lying about it and she didn’t know which was a flat out lie and we both knew she was lying. There were at least a couple white employees there, one in particular, that was always taking sides with the african employees. Racism is what went on there and they made a hostile work environment for me. Those gossiping employees gossiped about me to each other in ear shot of residents as well as to residents. I can still recall some things that went on there with a couple particular employees regarding residents that they seem to forget that I observed. Of course now they try to act like their different but their still the same. I should have sued them and still might be able to. Of course nothing was done about how I was treated because employers are too afraid to get sued because of the the race card being played. I filed a formal complaint with the employer only to get a letter denying that any wrong doing had occurred. Sad, but just goes to show how the wrong ones got protected. Instead, racism goes on and is overlooked. I’ve seen many things that the other employees did that should have gotten them fired or at the least in trouble but they as usual got by with it. I did my job but I didn’t allow residents to do as they please. I ran a tight ship so those residents that didn’t like it constantly complained on me. While most or the rest of the employees allowed them to do as they please, come and go after they were supposed to be in for the night, and a number of other things. I didn’t allow them to stay up, roaming the halls and waking others up, etc. They didn’t like that.
