Of course, if the scenario below went on year after year and F, P, and S ever found this too overwhelming, they could just go on medication. At the same time - even though medication may help ease their anxiety, for instance - external circumstances would remain the same. Ergo, in order for the abuse to not matter anymore they'd have to be on medication so strong they were nothing but zombies. No problem. F, P, and S could all then just go on SSD!

Out of curiosity, do you think the temperature inside of F's, P's, and S's office is consistently cool this time of year or that the vents intermittently blow warm to hot air? If the latter ever happened, they'd have no need for concern because all they'd have to do is snap their fingers and it would be fixed.

So What?

 

Yolanda Flores (F), Charyn Palmisano (P), and Brian (S) go into work one morning and notice that their work chairs have collapsed, their office roofs are leaking, etc. and they request that these be replaced/repaired. However, all they ever get in return are notices stating they failed to submit the proper paperwork. F, P, and S know this is nonsense so they complain about the repairs not being done. 

 

Later that week...

 

Whenever F, P, and S ask AE (Any Employee) to do something, AE replies, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't get involved!" and "Why don't you ask another employee?" Who indicates they can't get involved either/suggests they contact some other employee, too, so that F, P, and S just spin their wheels. 

 

When F, P, and S send e-mails to/leave phone messages for AE, these are never returned.

 

Soon F, P, and S notice that everyone in the building is giving them the silent treatment; acting like they don't even exist and everyone couldn't care less if they are injured.

 

F, P, and S try to tell their colleagues about what is being done to them at CSA/GNRP, but their colleagues just look the other way or don't comment.

 

F, P, and S try to tell their families about what is being done to them at CSA/GNRP, but their families aren't supportive in the least. Insisting, "Can't you just get another job?"

 

It's impossible for F, P, and S to do their jobs properly because no one will answer them or help them with any duties (or in any other capacity for that matter).

 

Out of desperation, F, P, and S report the conditions they have to work in to their union, but their union never acknowledges any of their complaints.

 

I'd really like to see F, P, and S just shrug their shoulders and say, "They're doing this to me because I complained about office repairs not being done...Ah, so what? I can continue to work under these circumstances. I refuse to let any of this bother me or interfere with me getting my job done!"
