A new employee with a medical alert service dog faced severe harassment from a coworker who doubted their disability and tried to sabotage the dog’s role.
Despite repeated explanations and HR reports, the coworker escalated to dangerous actions like using strong perfumes that triggered the employee’s condition and even doxxed them online. This led to her firing, but the employee faced backlash from her friends and family. While feeling sympathy for her children, the employee emphasized that safety and well-being must come first, as her coworker’s actions endangered their life and violated workplace policies.
