Bad treatment
I go around with the feeling I have a bullseye on my back. This year I have been physically attacked by 3 people. None of which I was facing . Photographs taken by management. Verbally abused on many occasions. When I go into the common room I take my phone. Have rung the police. Phone always taken off me by management.i want to be safe.
