We had an employee who worked for us and also lived on reserve at Hobbema. She was a good employee but she faced a lot of bullying and pressure by her peers as a result of getting a job. Eventually she was jumped by 5 guys, who put her in the hospital for a for a few days all because she had a job which she wouldn't leave.
After that she turned in her resignation. Really sad story.
