On this fateful day on the 27th of March Easter Sunday, i thought it would be a refreshing change to have some positivity. Easter Sunday marks the day of Jesus's Resurrection into the spiritual Afterlife and Back to the Kingdom of God with the Heavenly Father. God.
Lately I've been reporting to you all about the Hate Crime that was inflicted on me by my Gay White Supremacist Stalker Conley Riley Bishton. Ive been speaking on Issues of Gay Rights, Gender Equality, Racial Equality and Love for all Life.
Reporting about the Negativity in the world is so very important as we all need to be informed and wake up to the threats that disgusting people like Conley Riley Bishton and Edvinas Batas are capable of doing.
But it is also important to Report on the Positive. To report that even when the odds are against you, one can still make it in this world and achieve their dreams and even when one is oppressed and Bullied that we still can rise and make something good happen for ourselves.
My Easter Story for you begins of a Real Life tale of Gerda Tvaronaite.
She and I both used to work for the same restaurant together in london almost 2 years ago and our time together was filled with many ups and downs and adventures to say the least.
When i started at the restaurant i quickly became a Singing Waiter and was singing Happy Birthday Every Night and earning tips for it as well and getting reviews for the company as well as myself.
It became a thing for me and i achieved my "Success" ( oh so it seemed) that way.
Gerda on the other had, didn't have it the same way i did. Often her nights were spent late at the restaurant polishing candle holders for the next day and filling up ketchup bottles and cleaning out the crevices in the rim of the ketchup Bottles with a Tooth Pick.
For Gerda Life was not Fun.
She was not used to the restaurant life, often having to sit down because her feet and legs were exhausted from the stress of it all. All so she could send money home to Lithuania and help her family and so she can pay to go to acting School aswell.
She like any other has a dream and was fighting tooth and nail to live it, to breath it.
To Achieve it.
Now as ive told you all many times, the only way to get rid of your bully is to Stand up to them. thats how i deal with mine and seems to work for me, but for others like Gerda, it can be quite different if not Non Existent.
But to You all, what would you do if your very own Bully was your manager?
See a pic below
In this Pic you see Gerda directly in the Middle with her radiant smile, directly behind her is our friend and fellow colleague at the time Alessandra. To the left is Benedetto "benny" and directly on the right, dressed differntly than the other 3 in the pic is our manager Federica.
Looking from the outside it easy to look at that picture and think to yourselves, "they all seem happy"
"they're having a nice time together" "everything is fine"
Correct?
Wrong!!!
Everything was Not Fine. Federica was Gerda's Greatest Bully ( Empahasis on the word Was)
Now Federica isnt all bad, she's merely human. The same Shit she tried on Gerda which worked by the way, didn't work on me.
Federica takes pleasure in being Right or in her case thinking shes Right. One fateful incident i can mention is when a fellow colleague and my "Bully" at the time Alfonso asked a general question about the computer system to find an item. He asked the both of us and we both answered but i answered immediately before Federica could answer, after which she was in Tears.
Literally a Grown woman in tears because "apparently" i embarrassed her by knowing more about the till system than her the "Manager". First she cried and went to the office, then she came Barrelling out threatening to give me a File Note on my File if i ever did that again. So all in all, for offering advice to a colleague who asked the both of us for help warranted a "File Note".
Crazy, Just Crazy
Federica is a Bully, plain and simple. She likes to Dominate people especially Men, but to her fellow females she likes to lead and be in charge. She wont hesitate to put you in your place and Show you who's Queen B.
To Gerda, Federica Bullied, Berated and called her names Such as Stupid, Worthless and Not Good enough on a Daily basis.
Gerda Worked in fear of putting even a toe out of line. This happy and full of life Girl would shake and quiver with fear at the very sight of Federica
Gerda is a simple girl from Lithuania coming to London to Survive and live her dream and help her family. Completely unfamiliar with the restaurant world and how it works and like a newborn needs love, guidance and most of all Protection.
Protection from the very people who will tear her down with ease and not give a thought to it.
Gerda was threatened many times by Federica that she would be fired/loose her job. Federica at one point worked her near to death because she was the "Manager" and she can and she did that to force Gerda to quit.
These Bullying Tactics and modern day practices in the workplace may be "ok" to some but its Not "OK" at all.
Long Story short, for me when Federica tried her Bull shit Bullying tactics on me, i fought back and gave her the same hell she tried to give me. Federica tried the same tactic on me by giving me 10 days straight with shifts and no day off in between and the last 5 of those days were all double shifts.
I made it to day 8 and then i called in sick as i was run down and very ill. Federica had to cover my shift somehow and i didn't care one bit because anyone who is willing to even try and work you to death deserves to die and die by their own hand. I walked out of that Restaurant for family reasons mainly thats all they know but mainly i walked out as i couldn't stand Federica and the tyranny she put us all under. I voted wth my feet and walked out effective immediate. I left Gerda and Alessandra behind and many others that i will miss but i refused to stay under such oppression.
Gerda stayed for a while after until she Finally Was able to Pluck up the Courage and Vote with her feet and walk out. After i Left that restaurant up to 10 people walked out straight after.
Ladies and Gents, it starts with you. Take a Stand and Make that Looong Needed channge
To get rid of your bully, you MUST Stand up to them
Now almost 2 years Later Gerda Tvaroniate is on her way to the top and starring as Lesley in a play called "Her Big Chance"
