to make a long story short, we have an awful manager. hes not only a horrible person but has been breaking both company rules and actual laws. he has gotten people fired or bullied people into quitting when they try to file a complaint. it has gotten so bad that all of us decided to collectively write a complaint with everything he's done and send it off anonymously.
hr is now investigating all of us to find out who sent the complaint rather than investigating our manager.
