Reprimanded At Work For Parking In The “women’s Only” Section

Card image cap

Location: Alabama, USA

I work quality control in a manufacturing facility and sometimes I have to work 12-14 hour shifts and show up earlier than the office personnel who work 8 hours.

Because of this sometimes the parking is empty so from time to time I’ll park in the front row if I’m feeling extra lazy.

However today a complaint was lodged against me for parking in the “women’s only” section of the parking lot (there’s no signs saying where you can and cannot park), and I was forced to move my car and was warned that there would be further consequences if I parked in the first row again.

When I asked about this rule, the only explanation I was given is that it is so the ladies do not have to walk as far.

I am of course documenting this on my end just to be safe, but should I take any other steps?

Edit: adding clarification that I did get verbally reprimanded. For after which, my supervisor came into my officer and told me to move my car (at 4:30AM, office personnel comes in at 8:00AM) I said no problem and that I would do it as soon as I finished my task at hand. To which he responded aggravated “I said now”
