I hate dealing with Human Resources regardless of the place of employment.
I had a situation at one company where an older coworker was sexually harassing me.
Not only did Human Resources ignore the situation, they also told my abuser about my accusation. I had to quit the job soon thereafter as a result. It was a really tough year going through this entire situation and the fall out. I looked for a new job while living with my parents for a while. They were supportive of me until I got myself back on my feet and I was extremely thankful for this amount of physical and financial support. But the jobs were few and far between at first. I tried to work in retail but the jobs were inconsistent based on the tourist season in this area. Then cannabis was legalized in this state and I got the idea to work for a cannabis dispensary with my experience at a retail store. It was nice working for a cannabis dispensary, but I soon realized that it’s similar to a lot of other employee environments and workplaces. I had a dispute with a fellow coworker and it was taken to Human Resources like it was at my former place of employment. A cannabis company has Human Resources to deal with the same issues they’re tasked with at any place of employment. Cannabis dispensaries are just as susceptible to employee and management disputes as any other type of business. Sadly, the people working at the HR Department at the cannabis dispensary weren’t particularly nice to me when I dealt with them.
