God, where to begin?
I guess it started a week ago, when my boss (let's call her Alice), refused to let an employee go home… because his daughter that was in the military died.
Gets only worse from there.
See, I asked her about this the next day she was over, and she said that “Ben left in the end”, but I pushed her and I knew well that it wasn't Alice herself that let Ben leave, myself and another coworker did after she left (early, I might add). When I pushed this, she said “Are you trying to reprimand me?”
She gave me a laundry list of reasons she didn't let Ben leave, from needing an obituary to having to approve it through her boss, it was all BS. I dismissed myself with a “I guess that's that, ma'am” and left.
But this wasn't enough for her. She called me back to her office, twice I might add, to more or less scream in my face, forcibly extracted the reason I wanted to transfer (because I don't like her, can't imagine why), threatened to call HR for “false accusation” after I merely asked for clarification, and most disgusting of all, Alice called in Ben to straight-up lie to support her case.
Moreover, the whole thing left me shaken and Joel was going to let me leave early, but Alice screamed at him about it and forced him to make me stay.
This was all yesterday. Today, I texted her about talking to Tim at another store, and she gave me some “this is unacceptable and inappropriate” crap and refused to talk further until I went to work today. My plan is to get Joel to back me up during the talk, and secretly record the upcoming conversation.
GOD…
