Store manager is out for 3 months with a health matter, so we have employees taking advantage of the situation trying to bully other employees they believe aren’t doing enough. 2 ladies who constantly complain about doing most of the days work wrote this note and left it hanging over the time clock, so I was forced to read it because it was hanging in the way of punching out. After a day of busting my ass I get to read this shit.
The ladies found out I took it down when I went on break and waited up by the front of the store for me to come back in(30 minutes) to confront me about it. We got into an argument but I kept it low tone and professional so we didn’t freak out any customers. I said the note was “unprofessional and inappropriate, and if they had issues they should speak to management.”
The message wasn’t directed at me, but the fact that these people can complain about “doing all the work” while also waiting 30 minutes standing around talking and waiting for me to come in from break to ask if I took the note down is hypocritical and absurd. There might be employees that are a problem and need to be corrected, but the way this message was conveyed literally(with pen and sharpie wtf?) and the tone of the wording is wrong.
