The woman that answered claimed to be the office manager and literally told me that because of me not being at the job for years even though I've been dealing with a hostile work environment and was harassed and retaliated against for making a complaint then was physically assaulted by the family member of my boos at work my case wouldn't be taken then when I asked to speak to an attorney to see what they say she refused me

The office manager is very unprofessional and very rude. She does not need to be handling business where people's freedom could be at risk. How about go back where rude is acceptable...F#$@ing Brittt...
