On my very first shift, it was pretty clear that the management at my work was an odd bunch and perhaps a little problematic. They made a lot of offensive and sexual jokes, oftentimes surrounding the other employees who were minors, including me. For instance, one of the managers tried to trick me into motioning a blow job (salt shaker trick), which while harmless, is pretty weird for a 40 year old guy to do with a 16 year old. The other manager also made similar jokes and tried to play mercy (?) with one of the employees, which I guess is a game to test pain tolerance? Also kind of strange.
Anyways, later on I entered into a conversation with a manager about some amateur movies he had worked on. He insisted on showing me some artwork… and most of the posters consisted of topless women, gore, and very taboo names. What especially struck me was one poster in which a topless woman had swastikas over her nipples…
Granted, all of these were animated… but I was very offended and grossed out by this guy. I later looked up the guys instagram, which was public, and found a REAL LIFE version of the above image. Some girl posing with swastikas over her nipples. Really weird. Showed my parents, and was adamant about quitting. They ultimately supported me, and so I did, after just one shift.
Perhaps I could have given more notice because I was scheduled to work the next day, but I feel genuinely wronged here, and do not expect payment for that 5 hour shift. I didn't explain in my email to the owner why I left, and he responded,quite frustrated which I suppose is understandable without having the context.
What I'm wondering about is ways in which I can report/expose this… by all accounts this is a poorly managed establishment so I don't know if I expect the owner to take any action himself.
