Well,I the latest is I was told by an upper management person to go to the head of the company. I did. They told me to put it all in writing. I did.
Now,his work best friend does the same thing when he's not on the clock.
They're hoping I'll quit.

Did you ever talk to a personal injury attorney who handles Worker's Compensation Cases? The government provides this for your protection.
You should. Your attorney will know how to handle this situation for you. Your bosses are happy that you are trying to handle it yourself.
The attorney will tell you if you have a case. He can also sue them just for the stress they are causing you. Talk to a personal injury attorney....they don't charge you until they win your case.
P.S. Be careful of what you put in writing to the bosses...they will use it against you if they can. Talk to a lawyer.

In the USA, workers are protected from job injuries, abuse, stress, etc, by Worker's Compensation insurance.
However, @BlessedPeace needs to contact a personal injury attorney that does Worker's Compensation cases. She shouldn't handle this herself.

Same here, my friend has a representative( professional) who is presenting her case to the tribunal.

Here they will get you not only medical care but also a cash settlement for your suffering under the work situation and/or bosses.
Also, if @BlessedPeace has physical ailments preventing her from working, the attorney will help her to get on Social Security Disability. (Usually people have to try twice to get on it.)
I’d bet the atty would want names of others who also experienced similar and bring a multi plaintiff suit against the company. The company will fold like a wet tortilla. You’re also in a protected class (female).
I feel terrible for your situation. People should be treated with compassion and dignity. Good luck and god bless.

I remember after i turned 60 they couldn't make me work overtime and I was also allowed to cut my hours. That's maybe something you could find out. Are you in a union? Even if you're not they could perhaps advise you. Or Age Concern or Citizens Advice Bureau.

Did you read my posts to @BlessedPeace about filing a Worker's Compensation case?
She simply needs to contact a personal injury attorney...he will only charge a small fee after settling the case, taking his fee out of her financial reward.
In the USA, "Worker's Compensation" is the way workers are protected and also can receive medical and financial settlements for any abuse, resulting stress and/or injury from their jobs.

My supervisor is a Sociopath and racist. He's black btw. Racism isn't just a white issue.
No one likes him. If he takes a dislike to you,you'll suffer.
He did. And because I have issues of plantar fasciatis and hyper pronation with my feet,and our work space is cement,which kills your feet no matter who you are,he makes me to work in an area where there are no matt's that retard the impact of feet with floor.
And when I'm in a smaller area where there was an impact mat, he took it away.
At my age it is harder to get a job. And in this area the businesses prefer to hire you'd minorities. There's even a tax service at the local department store that hired an all black staff of teenagers to do peoples taxes.
Last year it was populated with older white accountant types.
Hubby is on SS disability and works part time. I'm full time. Our overhead won't let me quit.
Dear God, please help us.
Sorry for your issues. Everyone has a BOSS in a higher position than themselves. Don’t be afraid to address your issue to a higher authority.
Stick with FACTS…not personal opinions of WHY you are being disparaged.
If some workers are provided relief mats to stand on, and the company can not “afford” or are “not willing to provide”…Offer to bring your own as a solution. But stay on Point…Some worker are “ALLOWED” to have mats, while others are NOT, without ANY “Company Policy” being revealed to you. If “company Policy” forbids, disallows, mats for particular “areas”, how, why, does a worker have access to that knowledge….
Because the … appointed “supervision” by all accounts, appears to “willy-nilly” randomly choose WHO can have mats, rather than WHAT “areas” are considered safe, not a trip hazard, etc. and literally healthier for the employee.
And (pat the company on the back, of sorts), mentioning, Surely the Company is “safety” conscious of its employees, noting the health concerns for routinely standing long hours on concrete floors, and would they take that issue under review for a policy revision consideration.
I have had work issues, as an employee, as I’m sure so have others. And when dealing with an “incompetent / unreasonable”supervisor, I would move on up the line, to bosses over bosses…and yes, EVEN having a face to face conversation with a CEO of a huge corporation…which I did.
God Bless you.
Glory to God,

Thank you. The CEO is my next stop if this isn't addressed in due time.
People have resigned, they've walked out on the spot, too,learning their department is transferring them so that man will then become their supervisor.
Yet,he stays and the company ignores that and all the complaints against him.
One woman has gone to HR three different times and in tears because of his verbal abuse.
It's amazing he's still there.I don't get it.

Keep in mind, higher ups in authority, primarily are occupied with business calls and mounds of paperwork, and typically expect underlings to address employee issues, complaints…and the paperwork at the top…regarding employees…IS recordable accidents/injuries…
Which THAT…(safety) should be your focus…not so much your discomfort. And should you get to talk to the CEO, “apologize” that AFTER several Attempts to resolve your issue at a LOWER level, (even the “supervisor” would not give you a response). At that point you may to be able to slide in a brief comment of other employees have signaled to have the same issues regarding unresolved questions.
Hope this helps.
God Bless you,

Be Very Richly Encouraged And Comforted In:

Amen.

@BlessedPeace Is there a reason you don't want to file a Worker's Compensation case?
Believe me, a lawyer will know if you have a case or not. And he or she would fight for you.
Your bosses will try to blame everything on you and probably try to get you fired...that is why you need a lawyer.
Be careful about what you put in writing. Their lawyers will twist it all against you.
I thought workers comp. only applied if someone was injured while working.
I don't have a doctor's paper that states a diagnosis of my issues with my feet. I can't afford a specialist. My insurance has an enormous deductible. I got it so hubby could keep getting his medicines prescribed.
