Did I do the right thing?

[RICHARD]

One thing I forgot to mention?

You will have to deal with that person to give them job assignments, etc.?

Try to have a third party present when you do.

You never know when people will 'mis-hear' a conversation?

-----------------------

I once had an idiot supervisor say that I 'ran down the hallway, cursing' outside her office while she was with another employee.

I told her that I wanted to meet with that person and hear their side of the story, because I didn't remember doing it. And, if that person was correct, she was more than welcome to write me up.

She NEVER brought it up again.

You did the right thing. He should have been fired, period! Next time someone steals, no on will turn them in knowing the person will still be there.

[phesina]

You did your job! And it was absolutely the right thing to do.

[Taz_Zoee]

You definitely did the right thing. However, your employer did not. He should have been fired.

I'm with Richard on this one.
Also - You might want to take notes on all of this in case someone from your company returns to you with questions later. If you are alone with this person for any reason, keep yourself between him and the exit. Keep your conversations factual, so that nothing you say is open to misinterpretation in any way. Don't walk to your car alone after work, if you can avoid it. You definitely did the right thing and your company should back you up big-time. This person should have been let go.

I work with this person 4 days a week, I'm his supervisor. It's just me and him. I'm so nervous to go into work tomorrow. I don't really want to deal with the awkwardness...I also close the store alone most nights. I think I'm likely going to quit. The manager says pretty mean things to me as well. I almost think I could have a case against him for the things he tells me. I've gone to the bathroom crying at least 4 times because of him. He's also keeping this incident a secret from management, so I suppose if the co worker does something to me I can use that against the manager....(He and the manager are friends)

You should contact the owners of the store, whoever your manager has to report to. The manager and his friend are the problem, not you. It will take courage to get through this, but you have all of Pet Talk behind you!

Yes, Drop a dime to the area supervisor/boss.

At the worst?

You may have to go look for a job somewhere else, But keeping your sanity is far more important than putting up with the BS - it's not worth it.

------

When the idiot 'boss' says something hurtful to you, ask them to repeat it.

IF they ask why, say "I just want to make sure that I understand you." Do not do it in a smarmy way, ask them straight out....When that happens, they will back down....Don't do it EVERY time, just the times where you feel like they are being AHs.

Best wishes and keep your wits about you......Sometimes YOU are the only sane one in the planet!!

I've decided to I'm probably going to go on stress leave. It's just to much for me to deal with. I was going to quit in the summer anyway because I'm going back to school but I'll have to see what my doctor says next week.

[Catty1]

Please do report this to the owners, even if you leave. This will happen to other staff as well. Write down what was actually said to you, and the date if you can.

Take care of yourself and don't let this criminal team get away with their crap!

HUGS!
