Do I have to put up with this?

[DugansDad]

I agree with employees just showing up expecting a paycheck for little or no effort. They think they 'deserve' to be paid as if it is 'owed' them. I own 2 businesses and thee hardest part for the employer to let someone go who is not doing there work is the employee will come back with a discrimination suit of some sort, it doesn't matter that they didn't do there job. I have tried hiring helpers that want top dollar to start and know nothing about job. The only reason there are jobs is the owner can't do it all themselves. When I need help, I get temp help anymore.

If your mom is that valued, SHE should find another place - and take you with her.

So what if they are short-staffed? You don't have to take abuse; it's not your job to stay.

You first!

And if the manager is worried that the guy will stir up trouble - they can talk to a lawyer first and get their ducks in a row. THEN fire him.

Leaving is part of the solution - if nobody, including you, actually DOES anything, then they are being a part of the problem.

As I said before, my mom NEEDS her job. It's unlikely she will get another job quickly that pays the same or more.

We;re having a meeting today with him to see what is going to happen...head office will decide if he should be fired or not (which he won't be)

Sounds to me like he is a BULLY! I had one that worked for me when I was managing that cafeteria and she threatened to kick my A** a number of times, her husband even came and threatened me too. Upper management was afraid to fire her too but I refused to allow her to come back in my cafeteria so they had to move her to another cafeteria. Offered her less hours and had to drive 3 times further to get there so she quit.... Nobodys fault, she quit!

I still say, his ways will catch up with him sooner or later if you can hang in there.. I have seen it happen over and over. He WILL get what is due him!
