So yesterday I posted about how I was quitting Crumbl bc of low pay and the workplace environment. I decided to type up a written letter about how I had been offered another job (Target) and was quitting. I sealed the envelope and labeled it with one of my manager's names. She's the owner of the store and our schedule, however she is not our general manager. I decided to give my resignation letter to her bc I knew she would be the most understanding and that our gm would probably give me hell. I left the labeled envelope on their desk on Friday the 7th. Today, a coworker friend of mine tells me that she overheard our gm and a shift lead talking. He was saying “so what's this I hear about her quitting?” And shift lead says “I didn't have anything to do with that”. AND GM SAYS “well I took a peek at her letter and she should have told me first”. Shift lead says “that letter was there for a reason”. GM apparently has been asking everyone how much they knew about me leaving. I understand that my manager has to tell the GM about me leaving, but what I seriously take offense at, is the fact that he read my private letter, which wasn't labeled for him.
So my question to all you lovely people is this: is it illegal that my GM read a confidential letter that I gave to another manager?
Let me know!
