I’m really at the end of my rope at this point. I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant. I was previously pregnant and lost my daughter at 25 weeks in August. So my body still looked pregnant when I got pregnant again. So that came with some back problems. I let work know when I found out I was pregnant. I work with people with disabilities. One of the guys I work with can get violent. He will grab, push, pull, kick, and more. So I made sure I let work know ASAP. When I hit about week 6 the individual started acting violent more and more. I asked my boss if I could meet with her to talk about it. She said we would talk about it at the meeting and then never did. A month later we ended up having a meeting with her boss since she never made time for me. From the meeting they gave me two suggestions either I take on the violent guy by myself and my coworker walks away or I let my coworker get beat up and I leave. By the way this happens all night not just a short time. So that means I would hide my entire shift. There less favorable suggestion was having me take care of another guy. But, the violent guy goes after whoever is there. He doesn’t care which is his staff. The last resort option they gave me was to talk to HR about open positions that I could transfer to. So, a week ago I emailed HR and still have yet to receive any reply whatsoever. Tonight while working the guy decided to make a fist with his hand. And jam it in back as hard and as far as he could right next to my spine. My coworker just sat there and watched. At this point, I don’t know what else to do. Any advice? I’m going to talk to my doctor about getting a note. But I feel my boss will just put me with the other guy and call it fixed. Any advice is helpful.

UPDATE: My boss is now sending me emails telling me that I’m not doing some of my job requirements during the night. Which is a lie. I’m thinking she’s just trying to drive me to quit. I don’t really know what to do at this point.
