Hopefully this is the right place for this.
So, I work in fast food and my manager has been having personal issues lately, and has been having meltdowns at work for the past 4 or 5 months. We have gotten into it several times where he has literally threatened me physically. I have never said anything because I know he is going through something in his home life and have felt like it would eventually pass and he would level out. That hasn't been the case.
The type of stuff he has been doing has been getting out of control. He yells at customers, he goes on the headset to yell at customers in the drive thru when I'm the one doing drive thru, and then I have to deal with the angry customers afterwards. He also yells at fellow employees and slams things around when he's upset.
With the most recent confrontation with him, he yet again threatened me. I'm not sure if it was my job or physically, but he told me to “shut the fuck up before something happens that I don't want to happen”. This was the final straw for me.
I went to the general manager and informed her of everything my manager has been doing when she isn't around, and she took it very seriously, telling me that she has had multiple customer complaints about him. She informed me that she will be demoting him, cutting his hours, and taking his manager raise away.
I was thinking I won. I was thinking I wouldn't have to put up with anymore work drama.
I was wrong.
He knows that I was the one who said something and has gone to other coworkers to tell them that I was the person who snitched on him. Some of my other Coworkers are upset with me now because nobody else wants to step up to the plate to take the position and were content because this angry ex manager did alot of the duties that needed to be done through out the night.
I even had one coworker tell me that I'm “messing with things that shouldn't be messed with”, and that “I screwed up the system they had going” Keep in mind I'm relatively new here (6months).
So now I'm known as a snitch and have other coworkers upset with me because I said something and I cant stop stressing out.. Is there anything I can do?
