translated from Spanish: Francisca Garcia-Huidobro and Jennifer Warner’s raw account after being bullied

Channel 13 host Francisca García-Huidobro and guest Jennifer Warner moved viewers after recounting a crude episode of job-following harassment that they experienced while working at SQP.

I feel sorry for myself at that moment…”
