1/1 As the #coronavirus #lockdownuk #ToryGenocide continues, I'd like to talk about my first time as a #Whistleblower
I didn't know the term then - that came later on
But after months of complaints & the manager doing nothing - I finally acted & oh boy, the sh*t that came out

1/2 I was living in N Wales at the time & had landed a job as an administrator at a prestigious #holidayhome park
It was a great number. Beautifully located right next to the beach Smart corporate uniform Clubhouse next door Swimming pool
Nice boss
Dang I thought I'd landed!

1/3 But often nothing is ever as it seems, is it?
You climb aboard all in good faith
Everyone seems nice
& then the cracks begin to show
At first I was really impressed with my boss Excellent salesman Good fun Considerate & chatty.
We hit it off
Soon I was his #GirlFriday

1/4 Little knowing I was actually being #groomed
Because this is how certain #bullies operate
They charm and they manipulate you into a false sense of security
They go all out to secure your goodwill and your trust
and there's always usually a reason - #always
Oh yeah...

1/5 The first sign I saw of the beast that lurked within
was a few weeks later when I was sent a catalogue from HQ to choose my uniform
After browsing at leisure & making my choice
I then passed the order to my boss for submission
and everything changed
- in an instant

1/6 I looked on in confusion as his face lost its customary bonhomie look
and became flushed and angry
VERY angry
His eyes were on the slip of paper
riveted almost -
like a man possessed
I watched this transition as Hyde turned into Dr Jekyll
and then he erupted
DANG!

1/7 And the issue ?
The issue was the skirt - or as in this case - the lack of one
I had ordered trousers & that - in his eyes was a cardinal sin
I couldn't believe my ears as he let rip with the most sexist politically-incorrect diatribe I had EVER heard
IN MY LIFE
EVER!

1/8 Once the shock wore off I rallied and told him it was MY RIGHT to choose what I wore
That only served to inflame him more
By this time his shouting had come to the attention of the lifeguard who came into the office looking equally shocked
He told me to order a skirt -

1/9 I bloody well refused
He ranted some more - I stuck to my guns
& then
THEN
He THREW the catalogue across the office before stomping off into his
The lifeguard & I exchanged a long look
Just #WTF was that!
I got my trousers & he tried to smooth the now rippling waters

1/10 But it was never the same -
a line had been crossed
He was like the jolly pub drunk who could turn in his cups
& I was suitably wary
He was obviously a man not to be crossed
He also had good standing
with the head boss
& family tucked nicely away in other locations

1/11 I loved my job & they were a great IIP company
There was lots of scope 4 training & new courses - I did my ECDL here
became principal First Aider & on the surface all was tickety-boo
Then as the season went underway - the complaints started
About the showers...

1/12 For the life of me I couldn't understand why
We were a 5
Park
Heads and shoulders above the rest
Our swimming pool was one of the main pulls
& selling points because
Dang it was the business!
Often thought many #customers bought with us based on that pool

1/13 So when - as admin & first port of call
I start to get a steady steam of angry complaints
Naturally I'm going to take up the baton & pass it on
Appeals however were falling on deaf ears
The King was in the building - yet like #Elvis he was not

1/14 Something was seriously wrong
Customers and their children were being scalded in the swimming pool #showers
on a regular basis
I kept flagging it up
It was consistantly ignored
I grew tired of the #lipservice
Enough was enough - so I took matters into my own hands -

1/15 And all hell was about to let loose
As my boss walked in on me filling out yet ANOTHER incident form as
a distressed parent looked on
I hadn't held back
I never do once #War is declared
I'd just facilitated my first #whistleblow -
More on this thread tomorrow
