So I called the hotline. I know it says that I should not experience any repression from it but of course I am now a little worried.
All winter long ETLs were slow at getting to the door to let TMs in. It was freezing, snowing, raining. I complained but that's as far as it went. Well, for the last few weeks one morning a week I am the only team member coming in at that start time. It has been dark and a little chilly but the dark is what concerned me. A while back I was approached in the lot after I got out of my vehicle by a stranger. My AP was able to see a figure go up to me when he looked back at the cameras but he could not see the make of the guys vehicle or the guy himself really. At that time I offered to come in an hour earlier with the rest of the team so that I would not be alone walking from team member parking to the door. My HR said no.
Two weeks ago my leader was late to the door. I expressed my concern and was told I could fill out a punch correction but really how much money was I losing out on not getting to punch in a few minutes early?" I told the leader that it was not the money, it was the fact that I was ready to come in, it was 5 before and they were not at the door. I was made to feel selfish and dumb, IMO. Last week my leader was late to the door and after I said I was nervous I was told "maybe you should buy a cell phone for emergencies" I told my leader I had one but I do not bring it to work. I use it if I am going a decent distance from home and there is no phone at the location I am going to. I also shared that I did not like how dark it was outside. To that I was told "why don't you make a service request to the sft to get the lights fixed". Neither time did I get an apology from them for being late to the door. I felt belittled and ignored. But mostly I felt unsafe.
I decided to wait a few days to calm down but even after the few days I still felt unsafe and not heard so I made a call to the hotline. I just really did not think it was right for my leader to disregard my feeling, tell me to get a cell phone, fill out a request for outside lighting myself and just do a punch correction. I am not concerned about 3 minutes on my paycheck I am concerned for my safety. But I am now concerned because I called the hotline. Crap!
