I’m reaching out for a friend of mine who is going through a very difficult time, along with her employees.
She’s a bar manager for a hot spot in the city and the owner is causing an unsafe and toxic work environment. He is showing up to work drunk and lashing out at the staff. He’s has been caught on camera assaulting one of the bartenders when they were trying to deescalate a situation with a patron because he was intoxicated. He has laid hands on the female bartenders several time Including slapping one on the butt and saying it was meant to be “playful”
I’ve been helping my friend write emails and texts bringing this behavior to the owner. They scheduled a meeting to discuss it and he once again was intoxicated and completely blew her off to the point she has to put in her two weeks notice.
We need ammunition and guidance to bring positive change to this hostile work environment.
Edit* I want to add that this is repetitive behavior. If we don’t do something about this now he’s just going to continue this behavior with whoever he hires. We need to break this now.
