Worker claims owner’s actions left him with panic attacks, dreams someone was suffocating him, and “severe depression and anxiety.”
A former San Jose restaurant worker has filed a lawsuit accusing his previous boss of forcing him to house two fellow employees in his small one-bedroom apartment, threatening to get him deported and saying he would “destroy him and his family” for disobedience.
He said he quit his job as a waiter for a position as a bank teller and moved out of the apartment, but remains as the lease holder while restaurant employees are still living there and may be evicted for damaging the unit, ensnaring him him in more trouble. Mohammed’s boss, Karimi owner Rifakat Saiyed, is accused of insisting Mohammed drive his unwanted roommates to and from work and requiring him to “affirmatively misrepresent” to the California Economic Development Department that Saiyed’s wife had worked at the restaurant, so she could get COVID-related unemployment benefits, the lawsuit filed this month in Santa Clara County Superior Court alleges.
Mohammed alleges that Saiyed also frequently made him run errands that took up his lunch hour, and compelled him to wake up every Sunday morning at 5:30 a.m. to take one of the employees living with him to the bus station. On some days off, Mohammed had to drive one of his roommates to work and pick him up, he claims.
