Eight years ago, the 59-year-old was employed in the oldest brewery in Switzerland. Shortly therefollowing, she caught the boss for the first time consumption of porn in his office, his hands were between his legs. Her predecessor should have had similar experiences. “I was absolutely shocked but didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have any evidence anyway,” says E. In addition, she would not have wanted to lose her job under any circumstances.
“Everyone knew”
The moaning of the porn might be heard almost every day throughout the office: “It was disgusting. If I had to talk to him, I tried not to look at him directly, »said the 59-year-old. “But everyone knew.” A total of six employees worked in the company, but she was the only woman. “I think he had an unspoken understanding with the other employees that he might do whatever he wanted as long as he was easygoing with them.”
When a comment slipped out of her in the summer of this year that made it clear that E. disliked her boss’s behavior, the employment relationship deteriorated drastically. “He suddenly started accusing me of incompetence.” After a few weeks she was fired. The reason: poor performance. «He told me that this ‘porn story› finally off the table.”
She was fired, he was allowed to stay
When E. decided to take legal action, the brewery’s top management withdrew the notice, but cooperation with her boss, who had received a warning, continued to deteriorate. “Of course I hoped that they would fire him now, but instead I was transferred internally,” says E. However, she is said to have been bullied in her new position as a saleswoman in a beverage store: “It was clear to me that they wanted to piss me off. » It didn’t take long before she mightn’t take it anymore mentally and the employment contract was terminated. “I’m still taking medication for my psyche, even though I’m slowly getting better.”
Despite everything, E. wants her old job back: “That was my dream job. It hurts so much that I had to give him up because of this man.” She is glad that he has now been fired from the company. “Now he has to live with the consequences of his disgusting behavior,” says the 59-year-old. She was also deeply disappointed by the brewery: “To this day I have not received any personal apologies from Schützengarten.”
