WCG's back to work update (Patreon)

Please feel free to skip this post or the last chunk which I will put a separate warning at as it will dive into more of a rant, sorry, thanks for listening and to all good art.

So starting tomorrow I will be returning to work as I am basically 100% after my accident. This may or may not affect art flow in a noticeable way as (In my opinion) the quality of my art has improved and thus the time to create it has increased abit, mix in the fact that since I've been off for so long I kind of fell into the habit of taking my time and that I will now have to balance chores like a regular adult again and I can see it being hard to finish as much art as I used to.

(I'm probably going to spam this pic as it feel like it brings levity to what I'm saying lol)

The next Bits arc is all roughed out now and upon afew proof reads and some reviewing from friendo and my usual go toos it seems to be all good to start being made, so be prepared and get excited for "THE DATE 2: MEET THE MOTHER!". I went into this with some written down jokes and ideas with the hope that it would be around 22 pages in length... atm it shall be a 69 page comic. This probably means it'll be pretty hard to also fit in the discordia comic I've been thinking up for the last while and I'm still unsure about the finer details of "Anti Arc" but as long as I don't die I'm sure we will get there eventually : P Hope you're all ready for another outing with Lana, Lizzie, Connor (spelt with 2 N's as friendo keeps reminding me lol) and a possible show stealer in another funny bits story!... also its a weight loss comic. CALL ME A TRAITOR IF YOU MUST! I'm sure you can all enjoy most of it anyways (If not read it backwards)

We're also coming up to the 1 year Anniversary of Beth's Mothers day which means Imma try and whip up some anniversary extra's and I'm going to run a Mothers day sale starting tomorrow and ending on the sunday.

Now for the more ranty bit, please feel free to skip this part.

So about 2-3 months ago I was Verbally abused at work for about an hour by a coworker. I was closing the store and he was the guy working the till while I did so. I'm not going to bore you guys with every detail but basically I asked him why he didn't do something himself as he was passing off work to me and this 50 something year old guy starts losing it on me and when I tell him to leave and that I was dismissing him he refused which made me have to call my manager, the recall manager and all this all while he's repeatedly telling me to "go fuck myself" among other things that really shouldn't be said in the workplace. None the less I kept my cool and managed until he finally did leave. afew weeks later I go into the HR interview about this and basically get interrogated about it (I say interrogated cause they ask the same question repeatedly just with different phrasing and really don't show any empathy). I don't usually like this phrasing, but I'm the victim in this case and went in with the expectation that he would be fired from this "non bully workplace" and said that I don't feel comfortable working with him (the abuser in this case) and requested he doesn't get scheduled with me going forward (assuming that HR will take its sweet time getting this dealt with as they always do) and just like when I asked my boss, the buck was passed. My boss said that's a HR decision, HR said that's a recall decision and recall said that's more of a reginal manager call, idk think id get better results if I was a woman if I'm being honest, but at this point I almost feel like I should just blast social media that my workplace just kinda sweeps this sorta shit around. It's so frustrating! then afew days ago I get the follow up call about this incident and am told that the abuser will not be fires, that the employer has dealt a punishment I wont be privy to but that they deem fair and my request to not work with him has been denied but I can reach out to the reginal manager about it if I want. They said they were lenient as he was very honest and fourth coming about what happened which is just more annoying and honestly the whole thing has made me abit more bitter inside. I will be composing a email to HR just sort of saying how I don't have faith in them, this system and generally think they made a mistake and hope they know that and think about it when he's going through another incident. (Which wont be long as he apparently harassed a female coworker until she screamed at him and cornered a work friend in the bathroom while I was off recovering). I am looking for another government job. I am sorry to dump on all this on you guys but its been extremely upsetting.
