Something to note in this: I have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder.) I say this because it matters, especially when you get to how I got treated there.
If you're tribal, this isn't a bad place to be. You'll be treated way better than the non-tribal employees. Sadly for me, I'm not tribal. I worked at the Firelake Grand Casino as third shift security. For nearly three months, I listened to a long list of comments from a housekeeper that had a bit of a crush on me. Needless to say, it got disturbing really fast. The comments started with how she had hoped I would ask her out, progressed to how and if I ever left my wife, we could be together, and finally went into asking my co-workers about me when I wasn't there. The fact that I told her that I was married did not matter. I made a complaint with the third shift security supervisor, who basically swept it under the rug. Within 48 hours, I wrote out a complaint, gave it to another security supervisor, and it went to HR. Because of this, I got chewed out by my shift supervisor, something that is actually illegal but this tribe does whatever it wants without regard to the law. From there, I endured three weeks of targeted retaliation from two of my three supervisors, one being the security shift supervisor. During this time, I was written up (the first write-up ever in my work history) for having a phone after the casino closed. Our supervisor approved of this, nobody else got wrote up either, just me. I was reprimanded for making the harassment complaint, I informed them that if a woman had made this complaint, none of the things that were happening would be happening. I was met with hostility on nearly every occasion in which I tried to speak to the supervisors, meanwhile, the girl I made the report against, was still conducting herself as she had before the report. Finally, on 4/14/2023, I was suspended from work without explanation. All I was told was that an investigation had begun... not against the girl but rather it was against me. Three days later I was terminated for allegedly making a threat, though they couldn't seem to explain what threat it was that I had made nor against who. It boiled down to this: I got fired for being a man who filed a harassment claim against a female co-worker, an act that very clearly angered my immediate supervisors. Out of retaliation, they fired me for it but had to give a reason that seemed legal. What they didn't know was this: I recorded that phone call. This place is a terrible place to work, you mean nothing to them and if you're non-tribal, you're walking on glass as far as your employment there goes. read more
