Employee says team leader reprimanded them
The employee said they were then asked to call the team leader and confirm that they had reported to work. Because only one authentication device was being shared among the team, the employee claimed they were marked absent after logging in three minutes late. After reaching the office floor, the employee claimed the team leader continued the confrontation in front of other colleagues. They further alleged that their team leader then held their breaks for five hours and shouted at them even when they asked to take bathroom breaks. The employee claimed this was not an isolated incident.
They said their team leader then called them and reprimanded them over the phone. They were also allegedly told to check the roster and call everyone scheduled to work that day to confirm their attendance.
They alleged that the same team leader had previously made comments about their weight, asked them to do push-ups in connection with taking breaks and had other team members mock and bully them for speaking a regional language with someone from the same state.
