Hello, about three months ago I was let go from my job due to my supervisor disliking my sexual orientation. I had been work at the company for a little over a year and I never had any complaints or problems with any of my coworkers. However once the supervisor found out from other people I was gay he began to treat me unfairly compared to my other coworkers. I would constantly get picked on and reprimanded for “not doing my job” by this supervisor when I had never had any prior problems since I had started. I would let it go because I really needed the job but I had finally had enough and went to HR. Going to HR was probably the worst thing I could’ve done they told me I didn’t have enough evidence of what I was claiming but that they would investigate further. They did not investigate at all and all they ended up doing was telling the supervisor what I had said was going on. I believed me going to HR would be confidential but I found out they had told him when I was called into his office and was reprimanded once again for gossiping about him. At this point I knew HR would not help and I was basically going to have to endure what was going on in order to keep my job. This only got worse. He would mess with my schedule and have me close at 1am and open the next day at 6am. He would make me unload deliveries on my own when we had someone specifically hired to do so and I kept constantly being picked on whenever he stepped into the store. In August of 2023 I had asked for my days off because I had planned a small trip. I was given the days but when I came back I was stopped my my supervisor and was told I was being suspended. I was not allowed to work and a couple weeks later I was called by HR and they let me know that due to complaints by the supervisor I was no longer going to be employed by the company and they let me go. This completely blind sided me and I was left without a job. I’ve been looking for a job for these past months and have not had any luck with call backs. While working at this company I was living paycheck to paycheck and now that I’m unemployed I have no money for this months rent or bills and I am scared for what will happen if I don’t find a job soon. I’ve tried to apply for unemployment but was denied due to being fired from my previous job. Loving who I love, my sexual preference, should not be any reason to fire me. I am a hard worker and good person. It is unjust and unfair, I was born this way and I can’t change who I am. This whole situation has put me into a deep depression and I’m anxious and scared because I am struggling to make ends meet, my rent is past due and I was only given a couple days and to pay $2,700 and right now I only have $100 of that and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what else I can do so I’m hoping this reaches someone who is willing to help. At this point I’m looking for a miracle to help pull me out of this situation.
