点评:I am deeply disappointed with my experience working at Hale Center Theater, specifically under the leadership of the Lighting Department lead, Lindsey. I was wrongfully terminated in the wake of a personal tragedy—the passing of my favorite aunt. Understandably, I returned from break visibly upset, but chose not to share the details at that moment in order to keep my composure.
Instead of approaching the situation with basic human empathy, Lindsey responded with aggression and hostility. When I expressed that I wasn’t in the emotional space to talk, she said, and I quote: “Well if you’re going to have an attitude like that, you can get your sh*t and leave.” I had done nothing to warrant such a disrespectful and unprofessional response.
To make matters worse, Lindsey then contacted my employer (I was subcontracted through another company) and made completely false claims that I had been slamming doors and swearing—none of which ever occurred. These lies directly impacted my job status and reputation. I was kept on the schedule and led to believe I was simply being given a few days off to attend the funeral and be with my family. Only after the funeral was I informed that I was being let go.
There need to be consequences for this kind of behavior. Lindsey’s actions were not only callous and unjustified—they were harmful, defamatory, and completely lacking in basic human decency. No one should be treated this way, especially while grieving a loss.
I cannot in good conscience support or recommend Hale Center Theater as long as people like Lindsey are allowed to lead and mistreat others without accountability. If this is how they operate behind the scenes, it casts a dark shadow on what is otherwise presented as a respectable institution.
Do better.
翻译:我对在黑尔中心剧院工作的经历深感失望,尤其是在灯光部门主管Lindsey的领导下。我被冤枉解雇,是因为一场个人悲剧——我最爱的姑姑去世。可以理解的是,我休息回来后明显感到难过,但为了保持冷静,我选择当时不说细节。
Lindsey没有以基本的同理心来处理这件事,而是以咄咄逼人和敌意的态度回应。当我表示自己情绪上没有空间去沟通时,她说,我引用她的话:“如果你真有这种态度,你还是滚蛋吧。”我没有做任何事,不值得她如此无礼、不专业的回应。
更糟糕的是,Lindsey随后联系了我的雇主(我是通过另一家公司分包的),并完全捏造事实,说我摔门和骂脏话——但这些事情根本就没发生过。这些谎言直接影响了我的工作地位和声誉。我被安排在原定的日程表上,并被误导以为我只是被允许休假几天去参加葬礼和陪伴家人。直到葬礼结束后,我才被告知我被解雇了。
这种行为必须承担后果。林赛的行为不仅冷酷无情、毫无道理,而且有害、诽谤他人,完全缺乏基本的人类尊严。任何人都不应该受到这样的对待,尤其是在悲痛之时。
只要像林赛这样的人被允许领导和虐待他人而不承担责任,我就无法凭良心支持或推荐黑尔中心剧院。如果他们在幕后就是这样运作的,那将给这个原本被视为受人尊敬的机构蒙上阴影。
做得更好。
