My ship captain was hired by the owner so the owner could take a vacation for a summer. The ship captain fired 3 people and offered a different contract then what was spoken of over the phone, was super verbally abusive. He let me go and only payed me enough to fly home, which was different from what he told me over the phone before quitting my job and flying with a few months on my lease left. I called the owner and told him what happened including the captain almost sinking the boat and the captain was fired and I was reimbursed.
Okay, you have me hooked. For the love of Henry George Kendall and in the name of Bob Bartlett: please, PLEASE tell us the full story! (Props to anybody that knows who those guys are btw.)
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial A captain called me to interview for a fishing boat. We talked about the contract and I flew out 3 days later to replace a boy from Arizona that left after 12 days in the middle of the night. Arrived and the captain, his cousin, and the owner were at the ship. The owner said he'd be on vacation, these guys will teach you. After he left the captain puts down a different contract, says, "take it or leave it". Things were smooth then the cousin starts acting weird, up all night, forgetting conversation and what tools to use, he got mad about forgetting what was going on and decked me in the chest and scalded my arm shoving me into the boats exhaust. Captain and him are threatening to throw me overboard for being weird. Wake up one day and the cousin is gone. New guy shows up, captain won't tell me what happened to cousin. He's eerily quiet. New guy tells me the cousin was fired for smoking meth and drinking on the boat. New guy is nice, also is a chef. New guy accidently broke the Tv onboard. New guy and captain are using radios to bring boat into port, captain rammed dock extremely hard and dented the front of the bulwark. Has me check the bulwark for a hole, tells me not to tell the owner. Captain starts giving super weird instructions, brings me to deck to throw a line when there's no boat, having me start and stop work in the wrong areas when we're unloading. Guys on the dock are super confused. I mention to captain to relax. That night, captain starts talking about this being his last season and he's not cut out for this anymore. Next morning he leaves the boat without a word, comes back and hands me a check barely covering a plane ticket home. I can't even cash it for a few days because it's from a weird bank. Captain tells me to go to homeless shelter and wait or walk the docks for a new ship, I call family and get a flight home. Call owner day after I get home. He mentions he heard what happened from the captain so I ask him to tell me what the captain said. Captain said I wasn't listening to him. I tell the owner about the contract being different in person and on the phone, the take it or leave it, the check for the plane flight, the cousin shoving me into an exhaust and decking me in the chest and the cousin using meth and drinking onboard and the captain siding with the cousin, the verbal abuse about being thrown overboard and some other insults like captain calling me a "little B*tch millennial" I tell the owner about captain almost sinking boat and the owner is shocked, tells me he usually runs the boat himself but he wanted to take a vacation, apologises, reimburses me for the amount on the original contract, fired the captain and offers me job for next summer with him as captain. The experience was shocking on a daily basis.
One thing i love is that techically even though there not kept phone companys always have a nice recording of phone calls though really only police have access to it but just what that capt did is techically illegal since it seems they favor crew since sounds like 3 people got some off the books raises
Yeah, if I were a manager, and I had to deal with a dispute between workers, I’d give them 24 hours to work it out themselves before I put them on separate shifts and, if possible, get a therapist involved. This way, they can practice their conflict resolution skills, and feel proud of themselves for it, but they also have a fallback plan and a neutral third party mediator if they can’t work it out in a healthy way on their own. (I would also see about having healthy conflict resolution skills be part of their training)
I got an entire company fired. I was a holdover after the company I worked for was bought by someone else. They were just waiting for my contract to expire. Little did they know I was the only person our contractor would deal with. It was even in the sales agreement, but the new "boss" either didn't know or care. My first call after getting let go was to the contractor. An hour later, the new owner was at my door begging me to stay after he fired the "boss." I told them to pound sand.
I submitted a Resignation letter to a Company 5 years. I figured my last thing i could do was wrote some Suggestions to them which included changes to how night shifts operations where ran, Training and workplace safety. I have a Co worker who is close friend of mine who still works there told me that the day after i quit they fired all 3 of the Supervisors on Night shift (Which where notoriously known with the workers for hiding the back office doing nothing and not going out on the floor to check on there Employees) and replaced them, fired the Supervisor in charge of of training, Relocated the Lead supervisor in charge of Dayshift to Safety and compliance and completely Shuffled around the Operation managers on both Shifts. Whatever i said somehow must of triggered whatever plan Upper management had.
Supervisor was hired a few months after I was. Dude proceeded to spend the whole year s**ually harassing all the female staff, being a bigot/racist, not do his job, do dip at work and leave his spit catchers everywhere, as well as other bs. We finally had enough and went over his head and told his higher ups what we'd been dealing with. Had screenshots of texts, witness statements, and video to back us up. he was let go shortly after, as well as a fellow coworker who was in cahoots with him.
@@oops14314 doing dip is chewing tobacco and while doing that he would spit out little bits of it into bottles. It’s nasty and prolonged use of it fucks up your teeth.
I think I once got a head cashier fired a long time ago. She was verbally abusive to me, would micromanage me even to the point of nitpicking about my facial expression and the way I would stand when I was waiting for customers. I made mental notes about her behavior, and shortly after I spoke with the manager, she disappeared. I never saw her in there again. I assume she got fired....
First real full-time job after finishing school, as an automotive technician. We didn't even have to do anything but our jobs. Shop manager was an idiot who got worked up over the little things while ignoring the big stuff - your prototypical "busy idiot." On the best of Saturdays the shop might manage $5k; weekdays usually saw $2-3k. He took some vacation days and while he was gone we managed three consecutive weekdays near $5,000. Fluke? Yes and no, the assistant manager was the better sales person. But it got corporate management curious. They had our manager "cover" the shop at corporate HQ for a week and the staff walked out on him, so he got himself canned without us having to do anything.
The underage employee who is sleeping with the manager is not in a consensual relationship!! He has power over her and she is underage. Everything about that relationship is wrong and illegal. Agreeing to it for a wage increase does not make it consensual! There are reasons why bosses shouldn't sleep with employees, let alone underage employees!
My boss was lazy. She skipped Mondays and Fridays and never arrived on time. So when someone called in and requested a meeting with her, guess which days and times I booked. She wasn't even there when her boss arrived for a disciplinary meeting.
Quarterly Evaluations ..... Supervisors & Managers use them as High-School Slam-Books mean girls style. In the essay paragraph I would remind themm that this didn't say what my job and responsibilities are how good I am at my job and improvements needed. I would then ADD "If he doesn't even know my Job how is he my supervisor. And does he even know his job. They would come back with a new quarterly begging me to sign. One guy demanded I hand it in directly to his boss. Then he got wind of what I wrote down and tried to break into her office
Dude seriously thought the MOL wouldn't do anything to him? They talk to EVERYONE, and they LOVE their questions and looking at every last detail in every book you've ever owned. The CRA is just the icing on the cake though
Yup. When you got both the labor board and Revenue Canada after you, you're pretty much fucked. Wouldn't be surprised if the sleazy boss was into other illegal things.
I also helped get a solicitor struck off. I used to work for this absolute douchebag of a solicitor. He ended up firing me over something stupid when I was 5 months pregnant. Anyway, about a year later after I had my baby I was working in another form. A client of douchebag came to hire new boss and told new boss that douchebag was overcharging him. New boss, knowing I worked for him previously asked if this was likely true. I confirmed that he did in fact charge people for random things and overcharged his time working on cases. New boss ended up lodging a complaint with the law society who investigated the matter (which probably included an audit of douche bags trust account). He was eventually struck off, couldn’t practice for a certain period of time, closed his practice and moved north. It was some sweet karmic justice.
For the last one while it's good OP got rehired(due to the termination being processed wrong) I want to point out that they said "So glad to be out of that hellhole company" meaning they likely left again eventually cause of how fucked up everything was or they're saying that in the sense that now that the toxic people were kicked out they're not dealing with a hellhole anymore
She wouldn't let me wear headphones or ear protection while using the power washer. We had to clean the entire gas station parking lot and car area, which is massive and takes a whole shift, and the thing is just a little too loud according to OSHA.
I like to believe that I had a hand in what ultimately happened, but how it went down did not. Still, some context first: It was my first full-time job, and the higher-ups allowed and even participated in quite the abuse of us lowly workers. I naively ignored it in the beginning, but eventually, I could not anymore, and by the time I recognized that I should do something about it, they started going after me. By the time they finally axed me, I had set things up so that they could not do many things without me. Sure, it did not stop them or their abuse, but it was the first real consequence of their actions. The next consequence, which was admittedly bigger than mine (though I did tangentially help build that), was when the coworkers I got along with learned of the higher-ups axing me and just walked out - middle of the shift, no advance notice, no final check, just a declaration that if they were going to abuse and then axe one of their top employees - i.e. me - then there was no reason for the rest of the good ones to stay. Then came what finally took the higher-ups down. In case it is not obvious, if you want to take all of the higher-ups down, you gotta go big, and that means lawsuit, which is what happened. Again, I like to believe that I helped set up for the final outcome, but the scope of the lawsuit did not involve me at all, so I can only enjoy what happened vicariously. The lawsuit came about from the last good employee, who was (and still is) my best friend. He had suffered a pretty bad workplace injury, and they were forcing him to continue working and not go to the physical therapist for his recovery. He starting looking to file, and his girlfriend introduced him to an attorney she personally knew who specialized in cases like his. Fast forward to that attorney's office, and after they shared the details, this attorney called in other attorneys who specialized in the other aspects of the case. Long story short, my friend suddenly found himself with the Avengers of worker's comp lawsuits, so good that not even a worker-abusing state like Texas could rule against them. The higher-ups could not even get out of the embezzlement and fraud charges that came up as well (because naturally, when you abuse workers, you are pretty much guaranteed to be embezzling and committing quite a few frauds too). That place has long since gone under, and the now-former higher-ups are _still_ on the hook for his bills, medical and legal. Sure, it does kind of suck that because of the scope of the lawsuit, I do not receive any financial compensation for what they did to me, but with how hard their racket came crashing down on them and that they are still paying for it, I will gladly take it.
Our manager tackled someone he thought was a shoplifter. He wasn't supposed to confront shoplifters to begin with and he slammed the guy over one of the register counters (I wasn't there that day.) Turned out the guy he slammed over the counter wasn't the one shoplifting, it had been his friend. The reason I mention this is because the moment the manager was under investigation for this all the bulls**t he'd been doing came flowing out. Everything from denying us breaks and lunches, trying to manipulate how we did our time cards (not outright fraud technically, what he was doing) All his misogyny for which we women had no recourse because...he was screwing the woman to whom we were supposed to report his unprofessional behavior. He wound up marrying her. I think they may have both lost their jobs before he married her though. But that company was the worst company I'd ever worked for. They actually were not doing right by the managers at that place. It wasn't until a couple managers at their stores in Canada spoke up that the house of cards of the head office bulls**t came to an end. I don't know what the outcome of the case was now but a lot of the c**p ended in a class action lawsuit. I know I wrote a letter but can't recall if I sent it or not, about all the abuse we suffered at the hands of management and at the hands of the home office. Nowadays there is a sign on the doors of this place saying that they are voted one of the best and friendliest places to work. I hope that's true.
Number 8 is a good employee and a good company. Safety absolutely needs to be taken seriously. If an incident doesnt get reported where theres injury like that (especially when management was told) it can turn into massive fines for everyone. Even the employee who got injured themselves could get in trouble. You get an injury at work, youre much much better off being let go for a creative dismisal (which you can sue for if youve got the paper trail that you were injured at work-and you can easily argue for unemployment while thats pending). So not only can you get medical reimbursed but also get back lost time. You have no evidence and no paper trail, youre on the hook until you can prove it. And then youd likely get a reduced value if you win in court, because you agreed you were fine, and gave your employer plausible deniability. Theyd get a fine for not following up on reasonable grounds to have you looked at, since its their responsibility to know a head injury requies medical attention. Even in a case where you are fine after an injury, you wont know how deep the damage actually goes. I didnt report a leg injury at work because it was just a bruise and i felt fine...but years later where i was injured, i started developing vericose veins and had no paper trail to say it was a work injury, and get workers comp to help pay for the surgery.
government departments will actually pay you a finders fee or bonus for turning in companies that are breaking the law. The IRS pays 15-30 percent of anything collected based on how your information helped for example. So if you had a super rich boss who’s committing tax fraud and you have the proof, you could get early retirement haha
I was about to comment the same thing. It’s crazy to do all the work detailed in story 5 and stay in the same job for 10 years barely earning over minimum wage
Something similar to the ice rink one happened to my dad. But he was the one not doing his job. He was a medic off shore. Not military or anything but I guy came to his office complaining of a headache and he just gave him some Tylenol and sent him on his way. Didn’t figure he needed to do the paperwork. Long story short it wasn’t just a headache. The guy did end up fine but…. Dad got fired
Yeah in my job medics basically treat anyone who sees them during work hours as an incident. They have to report all of it. One coworker told me he went to see the medic because some dust blew into his eye at the end of thr day and he just wanted to flush out his eye. I was like man, you better be careful. Anytime you see them, they're going to report it. He thought because he saw the medic after his shift hours he'd be OK, but I told him: it depends. If youre going to see the camp medic after hours because you got dust in your eye when you were outside having a smoke out of your room, you can maybe get away with it. But because you went to see the site medic at the end of your day, that's a whole different story. You should have let your supervisor know and filled out the paperwork. He figured it would have been fine, since it was just a little bit of dust. It wasn't fine. The medic filed his report, we had our office bugged about it, the company who contracted our company bugging about it, and the prime contractor bugging our company about it. He eventually did get things taken care of without anyone losing their jobs, but his 5 minute trip to a medic turned into 2.5 days of interviews and reports. (They just gave him a minor slap on the wrist and reminded him and every company above ours reporting procedures)
@papermario3982 I'm siding with the "don't take anything lightly" camp. You report everything, not only to cover for you, but also your employer. If you dont report it, then you're not likely to be protected by workers rights. It gives the employer plausible deniability. But if it's reported, then if it affects you years later, you have a paper trail of proof, putting workers insurance on the hook for taking care of you. Your employer needs to know about it too, because lots of contracts are bound by safety rules and expectations. If someone does something outside of safety expectations (not reporting incidents) it can lead to shut downs and other bad consequences for the employer, so it's in their best interest for you to report them too. I try not to have incidents, but good safety paperwork has saved my ass about 3 times in the past year. Not from me injuring myself, but just being near an incident or suspected incident. They pull all my safety stuff when that happens, and they've got absolutely nothing on me. So in a sense, do your due diligence, and don't cut corners. Sometimes that will seem like a bad call, but in the long run, it never is. If your boss fires you because "too many minor injury incidents", that sucks. But if you ever have to get that treated years later, they're still on the hook.
"Childhood friends".....Some How I KNEW IT...when she got basically THE same reaction from HR as did DM. Something gave me the feeling...DM had already CALLED HR!
Around 2004 I was hired as a claims adjuster for a Florida based company doing 1st party property claims. Mostly homeowners stuff. My direct supervisor was a raging anus hat. He was just mean, condescending, just your garden variety bag of vinegar and water. Our phones were company assigned and had built in recorders for taking statements. I started to record our conversations just because he was just so weird and overtly mean. One day he said that I wasn't cut out for that work and I should quit. BTW, I had worked there for less than a month!! I said I wanted to learn the job and I just need more training. He said his Director (Bob, I believe his name was) didn't like me and he was gonna assign me so many claims that there'd be no way for me to do the job correctly, and do that until I quit. I asked why they wouldn't just fire me? He said that they would rather me quit. So I then asked him, with tape rolling mind you, "so, Bob would rather claims be done wrong until I quit instead of just letting me go, and therefore having all those homeowners unhappy with the company, risking lawsuits, just because he doesn't want to let go one new employee?" Supervisor guy said come and this is verbatim, "you betcha!" Couldn't believe my ears, but I decided that I just couldn't work for this company. So I did exactly as he wanted and I quit. In hindsight, I wish I would have just worked there as long as I could and just let everything blow up around me. But I was new to the industry, newly married, and just didn't want to burn any bridges I guess. Well, to my surprise I get a call from human resources a few days later For an exit interview. I didn't even know what an exit interview was back then. So she started asking me questions and I told her the entire story. There was a point in our conversation where she was actually speechless. But then I said " Would you like to hear the conversation?" And I played her the actual recording from the little micro-cassette. This blew her mind and I could hear her voice go from friendly, to worried, to pissed off. Needless to say, Bob the director never told him anything like that nor would he have done that. I got a call from him a few weeks later apologizing, explaining that. He actually contacted me several years later when he was in charge of another property department in a different company, but I turned that down. As far as supervisor goes, I learned later that the reason HR contacted me is that they already had a pretty thick file on this dumb ox and they wanted more ammunition to finally fire this dern fool igit! The very last thing I've ever heard about that guy was that his wife left him, kids hated him, he bought a dumpy little house in Pasco County and one month later tried to file a sinkhole claim and was denied by his insurance company and was given nothing in the lawsuit. And since his dumpy little house had a sink hole claim on it, any equity he ever dreamed of having was gone, so he lost out on all sides. You reap what your soul is right! At least sometimes you do.
Not exactly the same type of story, but similar enough, i guess. Not as much of a happy ending. I am a teacher. During my first year teaching at a rather large school district, I was put under evaluation. This, as a process, involves quite a bit, but namely it requires that a member of the admin team serve as your primary evaluator. They are the person you report to when you need help, and the entire process is intended to help you develop as a teacher. No biggie, except that if you are evaluated poorly, it can also serve as cause for you to be let go. My Vice Principal was my evaluator. All previous conversations with this person were completely fine, they were a functioning superior based on my observations of the situation. Boy, was I WRONG. First comes the scheduling of my evaluation. Youre meant to schedule this so both you and your evaluator know when things are going to happen. In general, i use this as time to prime my kids, and get them into the mindset of being on their best behavior, without completely clamming up. Who wouldnt be a little scared when the vice principal, head disciplinarian is in the room? Right? So my date and time is set and agreed upon, we know what we're going to do, and i have chosen my best class period to be observed. Obviously, i wanna put my best foot forward after all. She doesnt show. Instead, partway through class I get a "ill show up later" email amounting to one sentence, and nothing else. I didnt sign off on this. But whatever. I try to take it on the chin. She comes in, observes, and overall the lesson goes... Acceptably. Far from perfect, but admittedly i was a bit thrown off by the violation of procedure and process. After an observation, comes time to reflect, and a meeting to go over everything. So we have our meeting. This is where things go absolutely sideways. My Vice Principal violates several workplace laws and rules, by saying that i "have two weeks to schedule a doctors appointment and go get therapy." Im utterly lost. My superior, as a person with no medical degree, has taken it upon herself to diagnose me with ADHD and an autism spectrum disorder. Seriously?! She then continues to bother me about these things, making other comments, such as asking when the last time i went to the dentist was, and bringing other topics irrelevant to my execution of a lesson to the forefront of various conversations i am either required or otherwise forced to have with her. I report all of this to HR, and then am contacted by my principal for a conversation about all of these incidents. Note: the outcome of my observation, and all of my Vice Principal's notes on the matter, have not yet come out. During that conversation with my principal, i find out that the observation cannot be invalidated whatsoever, but that the VP has been reprimanded and told to not speak with me regarding anything strictly beyond the boundaries of education. "Well, at least i wont continue to be harrassed," i thought. The deadline for my evaluator, the VP, to submit her notes comes and goes. And it is not until AFTER she has been reprimanded, and INFORMED THAT I REPORTED HER TO HR, that she fills out my observation notes. Obviously, i didnt do very well, did i? But i figure it wont factor into much, and i request a different evaluator for the following semester. Just as the semester is coming to a close, a few things happen. First and foremost, i find out that i am being fired at the end of the school year. Based on, you guessed it! My evaluation. However, it also comes to light that i am not the only person that this VP has harrassed, mistreated, or otherwise gone far outside the scope and permissions of her role to cause discomfort and/or harm. I report these events and this egregious mishandling to my union, they get me a chat with a lawyer, and i figure i have some fair ground to stand upon. Nope! I can be let go for just about any reason at any time and even though my poor evaluation likely stemmed from a desire for retaliation, i cant do anything. My only solace was hearing that the district moved the VP out of an administrative role at a school, and put her back to work on curriculum. For the rest of the year, i had a different, less awful vice principal and evaluator. Not that it meant anything to me anyhow. Frankly, i had one foot out the door all semester, trying to obtain a new job, and had i not been fired, i was about mentally prepared to quit due to policies on discipline and the way students were nearly encouraged to misbehave. I now teach at an online high school and my entire team from top to bottom is great. Plus, i no longer need to get impromptu medical diagnoses from my boss, who lectured me on how i need to make sure i provide "equitable expectations for my black students" (which, by the way, made up the majority of my highest performing students!) This story leaves out a fair amount of detail, but that's the short version. And frankly, i dont care much to relive it at the moment.
Worked at a resturaunt when i was 18. hole in the wall place, it was a nice greek place with a fully staffed kitchen and a little burger and wing shack that was taken care of by me and a few other kids. Tons of safety violations. We were never trained to sell any sort of alcohol even though we all sold beer. Kitchen was horribly hot, no safety measures, etc. Wasn’t trained on how to do anything just trained by some other part time kid and thrown into the fire and figuring it out as we go. One time i cut my hand pretty bad (was never given any knife training… taught by another kid.) I was often tasked with locking up, securing, counting money, and storing the food and closing the entire building as an 18 year old kid 2 months on the job and other times i ran a lunch service with 10 tickets by myself cooking and doing register. Looking back we were in so far over our head, i don’t know how we did it. It was like one of those stories your grandpa told you about the days when nobody cares about anything. It was so intense, I remember every time i would get back from work at 11pm full of adrenaline, covered in sweat and smelling like food. Wouldn’t be able to sleep for hours and as soon as i would close my eyes i would hear the phone ring or something. It was hard but such a cool experience for a kid to have, and to this day was the hardest job i’ve ever had. Also was the summer after i graduated high school, so after shifts i would be with friends having little pool parties or something, going to cape cod on the times i didn’t have work for a few days and fishing all day. my celtics were in the finals too, met my girlfriend at the time in that group. Oh it was also a haunted building. Never believed in ghosts until i worked there. But all the time stuff would just fall. Our phone would ring and nobody was on the other line. We got a new phone, until it started happening to that phone. One time the speaker got thrown off the rack it was on, not falling off, but ike getting thrown off. Down in the storage areas it was like a crawl space and i remember when i would have to work down there i would always hear stuff. Often alone and at night. Was really close friends with all the other workers. Our boss (head chef at the restaurant) was a dick and one day i remember he screamed at me for something so stupid in the middle of a dinner rush. I get in my car at 10;30 pm and i’m so pissed because i feel like we work so hard and all we get in return is an attack from the chef. I know about all the violations we have (not food related though) and i go onto the osha website and research workers laws. I found so many that were being broken. I send in an inquiry out of anger that night, and i get a response a month or so later saying “we will handle this”. I was off the job by now at school. One day pretty soon after we woke up to big news in the town that there was a massive fire. The whole entire building burnt down. 3 alarm fire that started in the kitchen that we worked in. My coworker asked a firemen on scene who said it started in the frier. I checked our 7shifts, and i saw the head chef was scheduled to close our kitchen. He never, ever closed our kitchen, and he was the same chef who always told me if there was “one thing to do, always turn the frier off when you leave.”. Fishy situation and the owner hasn’t been heard from to this day, chefs all working at other places. This job and summer was truly my good old days though.
i had a boss who made life so miserable most of the department quit. 5 people to cover a 24 hour department with no relief or temp employees. Admin ask everyone left to meet without the boss. I told them i wanted to meet on my day off, i didn't want her to know i was talking to them. At the meeting i explained why, in detail. Boss also shared very personal information. Boss was move to a staff position in a different department and was a no call/no show so she was fired.
My boss was a straight up bigot and told me to not inform the FBI agree I had a customer who admitted to being at January 6th. After we were given an APB that if anyone admits to being there we're mandated to report it. She also denied me my vacation time and then when I got it I had my vacation fucked with.... And made fun of my stuttering issue saying "it's annoying and you need to work on it" She also said that my drinking water was annoying the customers ... Yes, my drinking water in the middle of July in a heatwave was an issue.... When the operations manager told me "just let me know if you need anything" well, I composed an email to her describing every little thing she did to bully me, my boss fired me without permission from the big bosses. She got shit canned and is basically now not able to find a job.
I’d been working for a rural hospital in the admitting department nearly 10 years when we got a new supervisor, I’ll call her June. June had transferred from the medical records department so she had no idea how to actually do the job that she was hired to supervise. The director made it clear that she expected June to not only learn how to register patients, but she was given a quota of how many patients she was supposed to check in each month. June didn’t realize at first that the director could run a report showing how many patients she actually registered, so for the first month she sat in her office and pretty much did nothing. When the director confronted her with the evidence that she hadn’t checked in a single patient June had to come up with a new plan to make it look like she was actually doing what was expected of her. So, she would come up behind whoever was the main registration clerk of the day and have us scoot over while she signed herself in on our computer, then have us register patients using her sign-in while she went back to her office and did who knows what. Well a couple of us decided we’d had it with her deception, so me and another gal went to see the director and spilled the beans. We not only told her about the registration fraud but how one morning Sue called me into her office and forced me sign as a witness to her personal Will !!! First thing the next day June was called to HR and fired.
I'm a vet and a passtime I am use to is poking fun it people. Everyone foes round with sarcastic comments but it works because when someone crosses the line, they stop when told.
My dad worked at a welding supply store. When people called they would ask for him because he not only new more than the manager. but he had better customer service
I got an owner fired. His first 3 paychecks were out of his pocket, where he took out taxes, but then when filing taxes, he didn’t give me a proper W2. He would also take trips to Jamaica and India, forcing the staff to make trips to Walmart at 2-3 am to pick up supplies. He was mean to even his own family members and would delay paying contractors, meaning trash and other items laying everywhere. Eventually, after being sought for tax evasion (for a second time), his other family members talked to me and had him go back to India for over 10 years.
I actually got my new boss fired today. So a bit of context. This manager was hired about 6 weeks ago. She seemed promising at first then during her 2nd week she went full blown “things are gonna change around her”. She started giving people work SHE needed to do. Ordering lab supplies, moving reports, simple things any manager would do. Then she started speaking to the centers we got specimens from like they were children. We also learned she was very technologically inept and didn’t know the difference between reply and reply all in email. Anyway so we had a mix up happen between us and a case from a center. We figured it out, the center filed an incident report and let us know about it. I asked her what the next step was. She said I had to fill out an incident report. THIS IS SOMETHING ONLY THE MANAGER IS ALLOWED TO DO!!!!!! So I asked her boss who has known me for three years if we needed to since a report was already filed. However I put the entire email chain for that incident in the email, making sure he was the email where she told me to file the incident report and what she would fill out (nothing was what she would fill out). Today she told us she was leaving the company. I think they finally had enough evidence to prove she was not fit for the job and told her to leave.
I was called to a manager's meeting and asked by my supervisor to explain why I had effed up so badly. I said "I followed the instructions I was given." She said "Who told you to do that?" I said "You did." Everyone turned to look at her. She said "No I didn't." I opened my notebook, where I record all of this kind of stuff, and read: "At this time on this date, (Supervisor) told me to (follow this procedure). I told her it was a bad idea. She said it wasn't up to me and to do what she says if I want to keep my job." The store manager nodded and said "Thank you, you can go." Later that day he said, "There's an opening for a supervisor, would you like to apply for it?" I got her job. ALWAYS keep a notebook.
I got my plant manager demoted. I was a mechanic and he wanted to change up the process of how our glass bottles go down the lines based off of how another plant does it. The thing is, we've produced that other plants bottles with our process with an insane amount of efficiency. In two days we produce what the make in 14 days. So our department pleaded our case, stating that we're significantly better than that plant at producing these bottles and the changes are gonna plummet our production. Our pleas were ignored and the changes went on. They promised us 20 days to set up the changes, and after 5 they decided it needed to be done by day 8. So nothing was installed correctly, and machines didn't even have all of their bolts tightened. After the changes were completed, our production dropped by 80% and I left maintainence for Quality, and told everyone in salary why I was taking a significant pay cut to go to quality. I told them that, I could not find anywhere in the job description that I was required to fix ineptitude. Our plant manager was demoted at the end of that month
I had the district manager fired because he had Not the required qualifications for his position. He had absolutely no knowledge of plants:we are a landscaping firm😂😂😂
Used to be a manager at Walmart before the management changes happened in charge of freah. Whaen that happened i lost management and my new team lead decided it was smart to relabel the day old rotisserie chickens for later days and attempted yo resell them. I reported it and when she found out she wrote me up for it. I then decided to call my old regional manager that would come in for the freah department when i was manager. He surprised her in the act and shes no longer allowed to work at any Walmart ever again. Ive moved on since then and have a much better career
6:50 The crime you are attempting to remember is "quid pro quo s***al harassment" where someone in a position of power offers rewards for s***al favors, or threatens punishments for not complying.
After his life was ruined. Fired. Wife filed for divorce. Wife took his kids. He committed self deportation which for someone who knew my old boss, was NO LOSS to the world.
Not me but my partner, she worked in auto parts and the manager had stolen 150,000 dollars in stock, to resell for a higher value, and 15k cash from the till over the course of months, and had been making her do the inventory and accounting to try and frame her, and had also been making her shred documents that showed what he had been doing. She was taking photos on her phone the whole time, and when it came time for him to transfer to another shop across the country, she dropped all the evidence on his current and future boss, the police raided his house three times to try and arrest him and reclaim the stolen goods. However, the new manager is a narcissistic self-entitled bully and my partner would rather have him back. However, snitching to HR and the area manager does little good anymore, as the new manager is best friends with them all.
For the one about the minor not getting the raise, that's called quid pro quo, when a higher-up promises you something in exchange for a favor. it's not just illegal for statutory reasons, it's a type of harassment in the workplace.

My ship captain was hired by the owner so the owner could take a vacation for a summer. The ship captain fired 3 people and offered a different contract then what was spoken of over the phone, was super verbally abusive. He let me go and only payed me enough to fly home, which was different from what he told me over the phone before quitting my job and flying with a few months on my lease left. I called the owner and told him what happened including the captain almost sinking the boat and the captain was fired and I was reimbursed.
🎵Everybody, listen to me, and return me my ship🎵
Okay, you have me hooked. For the love of Henry George Kendall and in the name of Bob Bartlett: please, PLEASE tell us the full story!
(Props to anybody that knows who those guys are btw.)
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial A captain called me to interview for a fishing boat. We talked about the contract and I flew out 3 days later to replace a boy from Arizona that left after 12 days in the middle of the night. Arrived and the captain, his cousin, and the owner were at the ship. The owner said he'd be on vacation, these guys will teach you. After he left the captain puts down a different contract, says, "take it or leave it". Things were smooth then the cousin starts acting weird, up all night, forgetting conversation and what tools to use, he got mad about forgetting what was going on and decked me in the chest and scalded my arm shoving me into the boats exhaust. Captain and him are threatening to throw me overboard for being weird. Wake up one day and the cousin is gone. New guy shows up, captain won't tell me what happened to cousin. He's eerily quiet. New guy tells me the cousin was fired for smoking meth and drinking on the boat. New guy is nice, also is a chef. New guy accidently broke the Tv onboard. New guy and captain are using radios to bring boat into port, captain rammed dock extremely hard and dented the front of the bulwark. Has me check the bulwark for a hole, tells me not to tell the owner. Captain starts giving super weird instructions, brings me to deck to throw a line when there's no boat, having me start and stop work in the wrong areas when we're unloading. Guys on the dock are super confused. I mention to captain to relax. That night, captain starts talking about this being his last season and he's not cut out for this anymore. Next morning he leaves the boat without a word, comes back and hands me a check barely covering a plane ticket home. I can't even cash it for a few days because it's from a weird bank. Captain tells me to go to homeless shelter and wait or walk the docks for a new ship, I call family and get a flight home. Call owner day after I get home. He mentions he heard what happened from the captain so I ask him to tell me what the captain said. Captain said I wasn't listening to him. I tell the owner about the contract being different in person and on the phone, the take it or leave it, the check for the plane flight, the cousin shoving me into an exhaust and decking me in the chest and the cousin using meth and drinking onboard and the captain siding with the cousin, the verbal abuse about being thrown overboard and some other insults like captain calling me a "little B*tch millennial" I tell the owner about captain almost sinking boat and the owner is shocked, tells me he usually runs the boat himself but he wanted to take a vacation, apologises, reimburses me for the amount on the original contract, fired the captain and offers me job for next summer with him as captain. The experience was shocking on a daily basis.
One thing i love is that techically even though there not kept phone companys always have a nice recording of phone calls though really only police have access to it but just what that capt did is techically illegal since it seems they favor crew since sounds like 3 people got some off the books raises
Almost sank the boat - literally or figuratively?
"You need to resolve it among yourselves" is from managers who don't want to manage
Yeah, if I were a manager, and I had to deal with a dispute between workers, I’d give them 24 hours to work it out themselves before I put them on separate shifts and, if possible, get a therapist involved.
This way, they can practice their conflict resolution skills, and feel proud of themselves for it, but they also have a fallback plan and a neutral third party mediator if they can’t work it out in a healthy way on their own. (I would also see about having healthy conflict resolution skills be part of their training)
Wish it had only been the 1 time I’ve been told this before. Nope - a billion or so and counting
I got an entire company fired. I was a holdover after the company I worked for was bought by someone else. They were just waiting for my contract to expire. Little did they know I was the only person our contractor would deal with. It was even in the sales agreement, but the new "boss" either didn't know or care. My first call after getting let go was to the contractor. An hour later, the new owner was at my door begging me to stay after he fired the "boss." I told them to pound sand.
I submitted a Resignation letter to a Company 5 years. I figured my last thing i could do was wrote some Suggestions to them which included changes to how night shifts operations where ran, Training and workplace safety. I have a Co worker who is close friend of mine who still works there told me that the day after i quit they fired all 3 of the Supervisors on Night shift (Which where notoriously known with the workers for hiding the back office doing nothing and not going out on the floor to check on there Employees) and replaced them, fired the Supervisor in charge of of training, Relocated the Lead supervisor in charge of Dayshift to Safety and compliance and completely Shuffled around the Operation managers on both Shifts. Whatever i said somehow must of triggered whatever plan Upper management had.
Hello?

Supervisor was hired a few months after I was. Dude proceeded to spend the whole year s**ually harassing all the female staff, being a bigot/racist, not do his job, do dip at work and leave his spit catchers everywhere, as well as other bs. We finally had enough and went over his head and told his higher ups what we'd been dealing with. Had screenshots of texts, witness statements, and video to back us up. he was let go shortly after, as well as a fellow coworker who was in cahoots with him.
what's doing dip ? genuine question ( also what are spit catchers )
@@oops14314 doing dip is chewing tobacco and while doing that he would spit out little bits of it into bottles. It’s nasty and prolonged use of it fucks up your teeth.

I think I once got a head cashier fired a long time ago. She was verbally abusive to me, would micromanage me even to the point of nitpicking about my facial expression and the way I would stand when I was waiting for customers. I made mental notes about her behavior, and shortly after I spoke with the manager, she disappeared. I never saw her in there again. I assume she got fired....
First real full-time job after finishing school, as an automotive technician. We didn't even have to do anything but our jobs. Shop manager was an idiot who got worked up over the little things while ignoring the big stuff - your prototypical "busy idiot." On the best of Saturdays the shop might manage $5k; weekdays usually saw $2-3k. He took some vacation days and while he was gone we managed three consecutive weekdays near $5,000. Fluke? Yes and no, the assistant manager was the better sales person. But it got corporate management curious. They had our manager "cover" the shop at corporate HQ for a week and the staff walked out on him, so he got himself canned without us having to do anything.
The underage employee who is sleeping with the manager is not in a consensual relationship!! He has power over her and she is underage. Everything about that relationship is wrong and illegal. Agreeing to it for a wage increase does not make it consensual! There are reasons why bosses shouldn't sleep with employees, let alone underage employees!
It was quid pro quo sexual assault/sexual harassment
@grobanite4ever85 Not when she's under the age of consent. The fact that she went to another manager to complain proves it.
@@Tarsha.Csounds like she was just pissed she didn't get a raise.
It's literally flat out illegal because he has authority/power over her. If under 18 no relations can happen with a person who has power or authority
@phantom8926 she's under 18 and the manager has authority/power over her so even I'd she was mad or not it was illegal from the start
My boss was lazy. She skipped Mondays and Fridays and never arrived on time. So when someone called in and requested a meeting with her, guess which days and times I booked. She wasn't even there when her boss arrived for a disciplinary meeting.
She had to watch Game of Thrones and Walking Dead
LMAO
"Banging In the Stockroom" is my favorite Mötley Crüe classic

Quarterly Evaluations ..... Supervisors & Managers use them as High-School Slam-Books mean girls style. In the essay paragraph I would remind themm that this didn't say what my job and responsibilities are how good I am at my job and improvements needed. I would then ADD "If he doesn't even know my Job how is he my supervisor. And does he even know his job. They would come back with a new quarterly begging me to sign. One guy demanded I hand it in directly to his boss. Then he got wind of what I wrote down and tried to break into her office
I'd bet that incident where the manager took OP to the bar in the wrong direction wasn't the first complaint. That's why the boss' firing was so fast.
Dude seriously thought the MOL wouldn't do anything to him? They talk to EVERYONE, and they LOVE their questions and looking at every last detail in every book you've ever owned.
The CRA is just the icing on the cake though
Yup. When you got both the labor board and Revenue Canada after you, you're pretty much fucked. Wouldn't be surprised if the sleazy boss was into other illegal things.
I also helped get a solicitor struck off. I used to work for this absolute douchebag of a solicitor. He ended up firing me over something stupid when I was 5 months pregnant. Anyway, about a year later after I had my baby I was working in another form. A client of douchebag came to hire new boss and told new boss that douchebag was overcharging him. New boss, knowing I worked for him previously asked if this was likely true. I confirmed that he did in fact charge people for random things and overcharged his time working on cases. New boss ended up lodging a complaint with the law society who investigated the matter (which probably included an audit of douche bags trust account). He was eventually struck off, couldn’t practice for a certain period of time, closed his practice and moved north. It was some sweet karmic justice.
For the last one while it's good OP got rehired(due to the termination being processed wrong) I want to point out that they said "So glad to be out of that hellhole company" meaning they likely left again eventually cause of how fucked up everything was or they're saying that in the sense that now that the toxic people were kicked out they're not dealing with a hellhole anymore
She wouldn't let me wear headphones or ear protection while using the power washer. We had to clean the entire gas station parking lot and car area, which is massive and takes a whole shift, and the thing is just a little too loud according to OSHA.
I like to believe that I had a hand in what ultimately happened, but how it went down did not. Still, some context first:
It was my first full-time job, and the higher-ups allowed and even participated in quite the abuse of us lowly workers. I naively ignored it in the beginning, but eventually, I could not anymore, and by the time I recognized that I should do something about it, they started going after me. By the time they finally axed me, I had set things up so that they could not do many things without me. Sure, it did not stop them or their abuse, but it was the first real consequence of their actions. The next consequence, which was admittedly bigger than mine (though I did tangentially help build that), was when the coworkers I got along with learned of the higher-ups axing me and just walked out - middle of the shift, no advance notice, no final check, just a declaration that if they were going to abuse and then axe one of their top employees - i.e. me - then there was no reason for the rest of the good ones to stay.
Then came what finally took the higher-ups down.
In case it is not obvious, if you want to take all of the higher-ups down, you gotta go big, and that means lawsuit, which is what happened. Again, I like to believe that I helped set up for the final outcome, but the scope of the lawsuit did not involve me at all, so I can only enjoy what happened vicariously.
The lawsuit came about from the last good employee, who was (and still is) my best friend. He had suffered a pretty bad workplace injury, and they were forcing him to continue working and not go to the physical therapist for his recovery. He starting looking to file, and his girlfriend introduced him to an attorney she personally knew who specialized in cases like his. Fast forward to that attorney's office, and after they shared the details, this attorney called in other attorneys who specialized in the other aspects of the case. Long story short, my friend suddenly found himself with the Avengers of worker's comp lawsuits, so good that not even a worker-abusing state like Texas could rule against them. The higher-ups could not even get out of the embezzlement and fraud charges that came up as well (because naturally, when you abuse workers, you are pretty much guaranteed to be embezzling and committing quite a few frauds too).
That place has long since gone under, and the now-former higher-ups are _still_ on the hook for his bills, medical and legal. Sure, it does kind of suck that because of the scope of the lawsuit, I do not receive any financial compensation for what they did to me, but with how hard their racket came crashing down on them and that they are still paying for it, I will gladly take it.
That is a beautiful story!

Our manager tackled someone he thought was a shoplifter. He wasn't supposed to confront shoplifters to begin with and he slammed the guy over one of the register counters (I wasn't there that day.) Turned out the guy he slammed over the counter wasn't the one shoplifting, it had been his friend. The reason I mention this is because the moment the manager was under investigation for this all the bulls**t he'd been doing came flowing out. Everything from denying us breaks and lunches, trying to manipulate how we did our time cards (not outright fraud technically, what he was doing) All his misogyny for which we women had no recourse because...he was screwing the woman to whom we were supposed to report his unprofessional behavior. He wound up marrying her. I think they may have both lost their jobs before he married her though.
But that company was the worst company I'd ever worked for. They actually were not doing right by the managers at that place. It wasn't until a couple managers at their stores in Canada spoke up that the house of cards of the head office bulls**t came to an end. I don't know what the outcome of the case was now but a lot of the c**p ended in a class action lawsuit. I know I wrote a letter but can't recall if I sent it or not, about all the abuse we suffered at the hands of management and at the hands of the home office. Nowadays there is a sign on the doors of this place saying that they are voted one of the best and friendliest places to work. I hope that's true.
Number 8 is a good employee and a good company. Safety absolutely needs to be taken seriously. If an incident doesnt get reported where theres injury like that (especially when management was told) it can turn into massive fines for everyone. Even the employee who got injured themselves could get in trouble.
You get an injury at work, youre much much better off being let go for a creative dismisal (which you can sue for if youve got the paper trail that you were injured at work-and you can easily argue for unemployment while thats pending). So not only can you get medical reimbursed but also get back lost time.
You have no evidence and no paper trail, youre on the hook until you can prove it. And then youd likely get a reduced value if you win in court, because you agreed you were fine, and gave your employer plausible deniability. Theyd get a fine for not following up on reasonable grounds to have you looked at, since its their responsibility to know a head injury requies medical attention.
Even in a case where you are fine after an injury, you wont know how deep the damage actually goes. I didnt report a leg injury at work because it was just a bruise and i felt fine...but years later where i was injured, i started developing vericose veins and had no paper trail to say it was a work injury, and get workers comp to help pay for the surgery.
That gas station story was short, but boy was it a rollercoaster 😂
government departments will actually pay you a finders fee or bonus for turning in companies that are breaking the law. The IRS pays 15-30 percent of anything collected based on how your information helped for example. So if you had a super rich boss who’s committing tax fraud and you have the proof, you could get early retirement haha

Something similar to the ice rink one happened to my dad. But he was the one not doing his job. He was a medic off shore. Not military or anything but I guy came to his office complaining of a headache and he just gave him some Tylenol and sent him on his way. Didn’t figure he needed to do the paperwork. Long story short it wasn’t just a headache. The guy did end up fine but…. Dad got fired
Yeah in my job medics basically treat anyone who sees them during work hours as an incident. They have to report all of it.
One coworker told me he went to see the medic because some dust blew into his eye at the end of thr day and he just wanted to flush out his eye.
I was like man, you better be careful. Anytime you see them, they're going to report it. He thought because he saw the medic after his shift hours he'd be OK, but I told him: it depends. If youre going to see the camp medic after hours because you got dust in your eye when you were outside having a smoke out of your room, you can maybe get away with it. But because you went to see the site medic at the end of your day, that's a whole different story. You should have let your supervisor know and filled out the paperwork.
He figured it would have been fine, since it was just a little bit of dust. It wasn't fine. The medic filed his report, we had our office bugged about it, the company who contracted our company bugging about it, and the prime contractor bugging our company about it.
He eventually did get things taken care of without anyone losing their jobs, but his 5 minute trip to a medic turned into 2.5 days of interviews and reports. (They just gave him a minor slap on the wrist and reminded him and every company above ours reporting procedures)
@@ron6625Dawg what the hell?? So your friend was penalized for seeking medical attention, and you're siding with the company over it??
@papermario3982 I'm siding with the "don't take anything lightly" camp. You report everything, not only to cover for you, but also your employer. If you dont report it, then you're not likely to be protected by workers rights. It gives the employer plausible deniability. But if it's reported, then if it affects you years later, you have a paper trail of proof, putting workers insurance on the hook for taking care of you.
Your employer needs to know about it too, because lots of contracts are bound by safety rules and expectations. If someone does something outside of safety expectations (not reporting incidents) it can lead to shut downs and other bad consequences for the employer, so it's in their best interest for you to report them too.
I try not to have incidents, but good safety paperwork has saved my ass about 3 times in the past year. Not from me injuring myself, but just being near an incident or suspected incident. They pull all my safety stuff when that happens, and they've got absolutely nothing on me.
So in a sense, do your due diligence, and don't cut corners. Sometimes that will seem like a bad call, but in the long run, it never is. If your boss fires you because "too many minor injury incidents", that sucks. But if you ever have to get that treated years later, they're still on the hook.

manager in story 13 didn't deserve the 2nd firing if he learned his lesson and hasn't assaulted anyone since OP. OP is an AH
Around 2004 I was hired as a claims adjuster for a Florida based company doing 1st party property claims. Mostly homeowners stuff. My direct supervisor was a raging anus hat. He was just mean, condescending, just your garden variety bag of vinegar and water.
Our phones were company assigned and had built in recorders for taking statements. I started to record our conversations just because he was just so weird and overtly mean.
One day he said that I wasn't cut out for that work and I should quit. BTW, I had worked there for less than a month!! I said I wanted to learn the job and I just need more training. He said his Director (Bob, I believe his name was) didn't like me and he was gonna assign me so many claims that there'd be no way for me to do the job correctly, and do that until I quit. I asked why they wouldn't just fire me? He said that they would rather me quit. So I then asked him, with tape rolling mind you, "so, Bob would rather claims be done wrong until I quit instead of just letting me go, and therefore having all those homeowners unhappy with the company, risking lawsuits, just because he doesn't want to let go one new employee?" Supervisor guy said come and this is verbatim, "you betcha!"
Couldn't believe my ears, but I decided that I just couldn't work for this company. So I did exactly as he wanted and I quit. In hindsight, I wish I would have just worked there as long as I could and just let everything blow up around me. But I was new to the industry, newly married, and just didn't want to burn any bridges I guess.
Well, to my surprise I get a call from human resources a few days later For an exit interview. I didn't even know what an exit interview was back then. So she started asking me questions and I told her the entire story. There was a point in our conversation where she was actually speechless. But then I said " Would you like to hear the conversation?" And I played her the actual recording from the little micro-cassette. This blew her mind and I could hear her voice go from friendly, to worried, to pissed off.
Needless to say, Bob the director never told him anything like that nor would he have done that. I got a call from him a few weeks later apologizing, explaining that. He actually contacted me several years later when he was in charge of another property department in a different company, but I turned that down. As far as supervisor goes, I learned later that the reason HR contacted me is that they already had a pretty thick file on this dumb ox and they wanted more ammunition to finally fire this dern fool igit!
The very last thing I've ever heard about that guy was that his wife left him, kids hated him, he bought a dumpy little house in Pasco County and one month later tried to file a sinkhole claim and was denied by his insurance company and was given nothing in the lawsuit. And since his dumpy little house had a sink hole claim on it, any equity he ever dreamed of having was gone, so he lost out on all sides. You reap what your soul is right! At least sometimes you do.

I am a teacher. During my first year teaching at a rather large school district, I was put under evaluation. This, as a process, involves quite a bit, but namely it requires that a member of the admin team serve as your primary evaluator. They are the person you report to when you need help, and the entire process is intended to help you develop as a teacher. No biggie, except that if you are evaluated poorly, it can also serve as cause for you to be let go.
My Vice Principal was my evaluator. All previous conversations with this person were completely fine, they were a functioning superior based on my observations of the situation. Boy, was I WRONG.
First comes the scheduling of my evaluation. Youre meant to schedule this so both you and your evaluator know when things are going to happen. In general, i use this as time to prime my kids, and get them into the mindset of being on their best behavior, without completely clamming up. Who wouldnt be a little scared when the vice principal, head disciplinarian is in the room? Right? So my date and time is set and agreed upon, we know what we're going to do, and i have chosen my best class period to be observed. Obviously, i wanna put my best foot forward after all.
She doesnt show. Instead, partway through class I get a "ill show up later" email amounting to one sentence, and nothing else. I didnt sign off on this. But whatever. I try to take it on the chin.
She comes in, observes, and overall the lesson goes... Acceptably. Far from perfect, but admittedly i was a bit thrown off by the violation of procedure and process.
After an observation, comes time to reflect, and a meeting to go over everything. So we have our meeting. This is where things go absolutely sideways. My Vice Principal violates several workplace laws and rules, by saying that i "have two weeks to schedule a doctors appointment and go get therapy." Im utterly lost. My superior, as a person with no medical degree, has taken it upon herself to diagnose me with ADHD and an autism spectrum disorder. Seriously?! She then continues to bother me about these things, making other comments, such as asking when the last time i went to the dentist was, and bringing other topics irrelevant to my execution of a lesson to the forefront of various conversations i am either required or otherwise forced to have with her. I report all of this to HR, and then am contacted by my principal for a conversation about all of these incidents. Note: the outcome of my observation, and all of my Vice Principal's notes on the matter, have not yet come out. During that conversation with my principal, i find out that the observation cannot be invalidated whatsoever, but that the VP has been reprimanded and told to not speak with me regarding anything strictly beyond the boundaries of education.
"Well, at least i wont continue to be harrassed," i thought. The deadline for my evaluator, the VP, to submit her notes comes and goes. And it is not until AFTER she has been reprimanded, and INFORMED THAT I REPORTED HER TO HR, that she fills out my observation notes. Obviously, i didnt do very well, did i? But i figure it wont factor into much, and i request a different evaluator for the following semester.
Just as the semester is coming to a close, a few things happen. First and foremost, i find out that i am being fired at the end of the school year. Based on, you guessed it! My evaluation. However, it also comes to light that i am not the only person that this VP has harrassed, mistreated, or otherwise gone far outside the scope and permissions of her role to cause discomfort and/or harm.
I report these events and this egregious mishandling to my union, they get me a chat with a lawyer, and i figure i have some fair ground to stand upon. Nope! I can be let go for just about any reason at any time and even though my poor evaluation likely stemmed from a desire for retaliation, i cant do anything. My only solace was hearing that the district moved the VP out of an administrative role at a school, and put her back to work on curriculum. For the rest of the year, i had a different, less awful vice principal and evaluator. Not that it meant anything to me anyhow. Frankly, i had one foot out the door all semester, trying to obtain a new job, and had i not been fired, i was about mentally prepared to quit due to policies on discipline and the way students were nearly encouraged to misbehave.
I now teach at an online high school and my entire team from top to bottom is great. Plus, i no longer need to get impromptu medical diagnoses from my boss, who lectured me on how i need to make sure i provide "equitable expectations for my black students" (which, by the way, made up the majority of my highest performing students!)
This story leaves out a fair amount of detail, but that's the short version. And frankly, i dont care much to relive it at the moment.
The term is Quid Pro Quo, this for that. Perv was literally acting out a sexual harassment training skit.
Worked at a resturaunt when i was 18. hole in the wall place, it was a nice greek place with a fully staffed kitchen and a little burger and wing shack that was taken care of by me and a few other kids. Tons of safety violations. We were never trained to sell any sort of alcohol even though we all sold beer. Kitchen was horribly hot, no safety measures, etc. Wasn’t trained on how to do anything just trained by some other part time kid and thrown into the fire and figuring it out as we go. One time i cut my hand pretty bad (was never given any knife training… taught by another kid.) I was often tasked with locking up, securing, counting money, and storing the food and closing the entire building as an 18 year old kid 2 months on the job and other times i ran a lunch service with 10 tickets by myself cooking and doing register. Looking back we were in so far over our head, i don’t know how we did it. It was like one of those stories your grandpa told you about the days when nobody cares about anything. It was so intense, I remember every time i would get back from work at 11pm full of adrenaline, covered in sweat and smelling like food. Wouldn’t be able to sleep for hours and as soon as i would close my eyes i would hear the phone ring or something. It was hard but such a cool experience for a kid to have, and to this day was the hardest job i’ve ever had. Also was the summer after i graduated high school, so after shifts i would be with friends having little pool parties or something, going to cape cod on the times i didn’t have work for a few days and fishing all day. my celtics were in the finals too, met my girlfriend at the time in that group. Oh it was also a haunted building. Never believed in ghosts until i worked there. But all the time stuff would just fall. Our phone would ring and nobody was on the other line. We got a new phone, until it started happening to that phone. One time the speaker got thrown off the rack it was on, not falling off, but ike getting thrown off. Down in the storage areas it was like a crawl space and i remember when i would have to work down there i would always hear stuff. Often alone and at night. Was really close friends with all the other workers. Our boss (head chef at the restaurant) was a dick and one day i remember he screamed at me for something so stupid in the middle of a dinner rush. I get in my car at 10;30 pm and i’m so pissed because i feel like we work so hard and all we get in return is an attack from the chef. I know about all the violations we have (not food related though) and i go onto the osha website and research workers laws. I found so many that were being broken. I send in an inquiry out of anger that night, and i get a response a month or so later saying “we will handle this”. I was off the job by now at school. One day pretty soon after we woke up to big news in the town that there was a massive fire. The whole entire building burnt down. 3 alarm fire that started in the kitchen that we worked in. My coworker asked a firemen on scene who said it started in the frier. I checked our 7shifts, and i saw the head chef was scheduled to close our kitchen. He never, ever closed our kitchen, and he was the same chef who always told me if there was “one thing to do, always turn the frier off when you leave.”. Fishy situation and the owner hasn’t been heard from to this day, chefs all working at other places. This job and summer was truly my good old days though.
i had a boss who made life so miserable most of the department quit. 5 people to cover a 24 hour department with no relief or temp employees. Admin ask everyone left to meet without the boss. I told them i wanted to meet on my day off, i didn't want her to know i was talking to them. At the meeting i explained why, in detail. Boss also shared very personal information. Boss was move to a staff position in a different department and was a no call/no show so she was fired.
The driving in the background has made me sad multiple times 😅
My boss was a straight up bigot and told me to not inform the FBI agree I had a customer who admitted to being at January 6th. After we were given an APB that if anyone admits to being there we're mandated to report it.
She also denied me my vacation time and then when I got it I had my vacation fucked with.... And made fun of my stuttering issue saying "it's annoying and you need to work on it"
She also said that my drinking water was annoying the customers
...
Yes, my drinking water in the middle of July in a heatwave was an issue.... When the operations manager told me "just let me know if you need anything" well, I composed an email to her describing every little thing she did to bully me, my boss fired me without permission from the big bosses.
She got shit canned and is basically now not able to find a job.
Cost benefit analysis over integrity issue says everything
I’d been working for a rural hospital in the admitting department nearly 10 years when we got a new supervisor, I’ll call her June. June had transferred from the medical records department so she had no idea how to actually do the job that she was hired to supervise. The director made it clear that she expected June to not only learn how to register patients, but she was given a quota of how many patients she was supposed to check in each month. June didn’t realize at first that the director could run a report showing how many patients she actually registered, so for the first month she sat in her office and pretty much did nothing. When the director confronted her with the evidence that she hadn’t checked in a single patient June had to come up with a new plan to make it look like she was actually doing what was expected of her. So, she would come up behind whoever was the main registration clerk of the day and have us scoot over while she signed herself in on our computer, then have us register patients using her sign-in while she went back to her office and did who knows what. Well a couple of us decided we’d had it with her deception, so me and another gal went to see the director and spilled the beans. We not only told her about the registration fraud but how one morning Sue called me into her office and forced me sign as a witness to her personal Will !!! First thing the next day June was called to HR and fired.
Quid pro quo was the term you're looking for on story 7. Which basically just means doing something illegal with the promise of advancements
I'm a vet and a passtime I am use to is poking fun it people. Everyone foes round with sarcastic comments but it works because when someone crosses the line, they stop when told.
My dad worked at a welding supply store. When people called they would ask for him because he not only new more than the manager. but he had better customer service
I got an owner fired. His first 3 paychecks were out of his pocket, where he took out taxes, but then when filing taxes, he didn’t give me a proper W2.
He would also take trips to Jamaica and India, forcing the staff to make trips to Walmart at 2-3 am to pick up supplies.
He was mean to even his own family members and would delay paying contractors, meaning trash and other items laying everywhere.
Eventually, after being sought for tax evasion (for a second time), his other family members talked to me and had him go back to India for over 10 years.
I actually got my new boss fired today.
So a bit of context. This manager was hired about 6 weeks ago. She seemed promising at first then during her 2nd week she went full blown “things are gonna change around her”. She started giving people work SHE needed to do. Ordering lab supplies, moving reports, simple things any manager would do. Then she started speaking to the centers we got specimens from like they were children. We also learned she was very technologically inept and didn’t know the difference between reply and reply all in email.
Anyway so we had a mix up happen between us and a case from a center. We figured it out, the center filed an incident report and let us know about it. I asked her what the next step was. She said I had to fill out an incident report. THIS IS SOMETHING ONLY THE MANAGER IS ALLOWED TO DO!!!!!! So I asked her boss who has known me for three years if we needed to since a report was already filed. However I put the entire email chain for that incident in the email, making sure he was the email where she told me to file the incident report and what she would fill out (nothing was what she would fill out).
Today she told us she was leaving the company. I think they finally had enough evidence to prove she was not fit for the job and told her to leave.
I was called to a manager's meeting and asked by my supervisor to explain why I had effed up so badly.
I said "I followed the instructions I was given."
She said "Who told you to do that?"
I said "You did."
Everyone turned to look at her.
She said "No I didn't."
I opened my notebook, where I record all of this kind of stuff, and read: "At this time on this date, (Supervisor) told me to (follow this procedure). I told her it was a bad idea. She said it wasn't up to me and to do what she says if I want to keep my job."
The store manager nodded and said "Thank you, you can go."
Later that day he said, "There's an opening for a supervisor, would you like to apply for it?"
I got her job.
ALWAYS keep a notebook.
I got my plant manager demoted. I was a mechanic and he wanted to change up the process of how our glass bottles go down the lines based off of how another plant does it. The thing is, we've produced that other plants bottles with our process with an insane amount of efficiency. In two days we produce what the make in 14 days.
So our department pleaded our case, stating that we're significantly better than that plant at producing these bottles and the changes are gonna plummet our production. Our pleas were ignored and the changes went on.
They promised us 20 days to set up the changes, and after 5 they decided it needed to be done by day 8. So nothing was installed correctly, and machines didn't even have all of their bolts tightened.
After the changes were completed, our production dropped by 80% and I left maintainence for Quality, and told everyone in salary why I was taking a significant pay cut to go to quality. I told them that, I could not find anywhere in the job description that I was required to fix ineptitude.
Our plant manager was demoted at the end of that month
I had the district manager fired because he had Not the required qualifications for his position. He had absolutely no knowledge of plants:we are a landscaping firm😂😂😂
Yay smt to listen to while I bored :D
First?
Used to be a manager at Walmart before the management changes happened in charge of freah. Whaen that happened i lost management and my new team lead decided it was smart to relabel the day old rotisserie chickens for later days and attempted yo resell them. I reported it and when she found out she wrote me up for it. I then decided to call my old regional manager that would come in for the freah department when i was manager. He surprised her in the act and shes no longer allowed to work at any Walmart ever again. Ive moved on since then and have a much better career
Hehehe i watch quite a bit of Bar Rescue and the boss in Story 19 sounds like the type of guy John Taffer would totally rip 10 new ones into
6:50 The crime you are attempting to remember is "quid pro quo s***al harassment" where someone in a position of power offers rewards for s***al favors, or threatens punishments for not complying.
After his life was ruined.
Fired.
Wife filed for divorce.
Wife took his kids.
He committed self deportation which for someone who knew my old boss, was NO LOSS to the world.
Not me but my partner, she worked in auto parts and the manager had stolen 150,000 dollars in stock, to resell for a higher value, and 15k cash from the till over the course of months, and had been making her do the inventory and accounting to try and frame her, and had also been making her shred documents that showed what he had been doing. She was taking photos on her phone the whole time, and when it came time for him to transfer to another shop across the country, she dropped all the evidence on his current and future boss, the police raided his house three times to try and arrest him and reclaim the stolen goods. However, the new manager is a narcissistic self-entitled bully and my partner would rather have him back. However, snitching to HR and the area manager does little good anymore, as the new manager is best friends with them all.
Story 7 word is Quid Pro Quo surprisingly is a huge thing in medical feild
The term the narrator was looking for in story 7 is grooming.
For the one about the minor not getting the raise, that's called quid pro quo, when a higher-up promises you something in exchange for a favor. it's not just illegal for statutory reasons, it's a type of harassment in the workplace.
Yep Jennifer gets banned forever but luckily actress & singer with her first name got used for iTunes and Netflix.
12:58 Hey can you run that absolutely insane take by me one more time

Little sister of a former travel, hockey player, OK with youth hockey, but it’s still applies. That Zamboni gets on the ice, you get the ever loving heck off of it, I don’t care if the doors are open or not. And yes, you document that, you do not screw around the brain, no, no human, plain and simple
Dude! Department supervisors cannot fire you they can only write you up. Only a manager, assistant manager, or H.R representative can do that to you.
I once got hired at the same time as a shift lead when i was 18 we had worked together a few times and we got along well like really well and one time she made a move on me while we were sitting in her car as much as i liked the attention i told her i didn’t feel comfortable really pursuing anything because she was married and had a kid so she decided to steal money from my til i was called back in by the store manager asking where the 300 dollars were and i told them i had dropped it in the safe like i was supposed to well long story short they found the money minus a few dollars plus a receipt with the missing amount that she spent on food in her car she was fired on the spot
6:49 the word for this is “quid pro quo” and it’s a form of coercion.
I gave the chef the wrong desert. He called me a fucking idiot and threw a plate at me. He was fired by the time I finished driving home

18:18 ok Kung Flu needs to be turned into like a cheesy martial arts flick about like a zombie virus bioweapon but instead of zombies it makes people berserk martial artists
0:40 am I the only one who didn’t know that was a job like yea someone had to do it but just didn’t know it was. A job sounds confusing but you might know what I mean

The underage girls situation has a romeo and juliet law in many states so the guy would have dodged the worst of the legal troubles.
In the US, he'd be personally liable for 1/4mil under federal, and company on the hook for more.

Hey, as long as you don't swear in the first 10 secs of the video, it won't demonetise you anymore, you can say light swears like : fuck, damn... etc.. don't throw really heavy stuff like the R word or racial slurs though.
Check out reactive abuse as a concept, its not a fun concept.

Apologize... just because someone says "you offended me." Boo freaking hoo..... Get a thick skin and get even. Don't be a cry baby...
