Yup, my girlfriend was riding her bicycle outside of town at night after going for a short grocery run. She was ran off her bike by a car and was choked and almost raped before she fought them off. She has clear physical damage that is pretty extreme.
The police have opened an investigation and took her bloody clothes in for evidence.
She let her job know, and was let off work the next day (yesterday)
My girlfriend is obviously mentally destroyed after this encounter, and she thought today was Thursday, which she usually doesn’t work.
But today is actually Saturday and she was scheduled to work at 8am. She did not show as she genuinely made a simple mistake after being traumatised two nights before. She texted her boss at 10am to let her know she could come in immediately and it was a mistake. Her boss said no it is okay you can stay home.
Well her boss texted her just now while Im at work and fired her for being a no call/no show.
Mind you it’s a coffee shop with three people. My girlfriend was an assistant manager here so not some simple employee.
This is absolutely wrong and messed up. I know Wisconsin is not a right to work state, but my girlfriend literally almost died and her job just fires her two days later for it?
She is eighteen years old and we live on our own. She needs a job to survive.
Please help us. If there is nothing that can be done then I think I will go in that coffee shop and shame them for firing their employee for almost dying during a violent sexual attack. It is absolutely wrong, and I believe against the law 100%
Please tell me something can be done about this. She cannot take anymore of this hell.
She is a MtF transgender as well if that makes any difference. To me this is not only retaliatory but also discriminatory. Girlfriend has physical marks on her body and is still healing from the physical trauma let alone mental. Please help us.
Location: Wisconsin
Please let me know if any more details are needed. This is just so wrong. Her boss just ruined her future life for awhile, and I worry for her mental security.
