Batman Writer Sued by Former Employee for Workplace Abuse

Unsanitary and hostile workplace conditions have been in the news with great regularity as of late.   We recently blogged about a boss who urinated on his assistant.  And I didn’t think things could get much worse until the New York Post reported an unsettling story about another unsanitary and abusive workplace environment.

Hostile Workplace Conditions

Joanna Gallardo-Mills, former employee to famous comic-book writer, Frank Miller, is suing her old boss and his girlfriend for discrimination and mental anguish.  Apparently, Frank Miller’s girlfriend, Kimberly Cox, has made Joanna’s life hell.  Joanna alleges that Cox did a number of unimaginable things to her, such as (1) smearing Joanna’s work area with human feces, (2) destroying her printer with a hammer, (3) throwing phones at her, and (4) leaving her underwear and used menstrual pad by Joanna’s desk.

Seek Help if you are Enduring Workplace Abuse

No one should have to suffer harsh workplace abuse.  Workplace abuse is a form of discrimination as discussed by the Federal Communications Commission.  There are laws that can help you with this sort of discrimination and it is imperative that you speak up.  If you choose to keep mum about your situation, not only will you keep enduring abuse, but your abuser will also be getting away with a crime.
