So he’s a technician/trainer who has been there 6 years. He comes across as a nice guy but sometimes he reacts to things that are jokes a little too seriously and it definitely feels like he has a mask.
Anyways, one of my coworkers has been here 3 years and been working with him the entire time. She’s usually pretty happy and outgoing. She’s also about to head out for Florida for a 4th of July vacation.
Yesterday, an hour before we were set to leave, I see her crying and is then approached by the technician before I can find out what’s wrong (bear in mind, I was sitting next to her at the time).
There’s a quiet convo between them, then he gets annoyed and tells her to stop crying or he’ll send her home (I was shocked he said this).
She gets up and leaves and I’m thinking this isn’t good. At some point she comes back (I only about this next part because she told me after she came back to our area) and she’s still crying and apparently he threatened to report her to our supervisor and to determine if she needed to be fired.
The reason for all this? She was told she wouldn’t be getting a raise this year and if she didn’t like it she could quit. It really opened my eyes to the type of person my trainer is and where I work at so I’m trying to find something new now.
