Wagnersigner -- I am not sure if she has an issue with my orientation- I am straight/heterosexual -- I think from the beginning she did not like that I am overweight but it does not prove to be an issue of my job duties- I still pull pallets when I need to (this of course after I had healed of back surgery in 2010 but that was a short time).

The good thing with asking some of my co-workers that I was thinking of asking of observation, they would be an outsider- they do not have repercussions of her not liking them- they have a different manager and even contractor or they are of the company * but they are of the same over all department and have interactions with her
As far as co-workers of the same contractor and under her-- you are right, they are scared- A thing though is another coworker that is having issues as well, is thinking of asking others to come to a meeting with them... I think maybe I will with them- if we have a group of different but similar stories of our own and come together--- maybe that would help out?
