I just discovered this reddit and now it's like “yay finally a place to vent and throw the tea about this moron” –
So I worked at a local community bank for 6 years up until this past December. I genuinely enjoyed my job for 4 years…and then Dumb Moron was hired on as our manager. Dumb Moron never did her own work, dated and flirted with multiple customers – every break up caused them to close accounts and leave, and made up her own rules regarding PTO and the like.
I was written out for early maternity on bed rest in November 2022, due to having a high risk pregnancy. She was very obviously bothered by this and tried her best my entire last 4 hours there to convince me to not go on bed rest – let's be real it was because I was one of the supervisors who did the work she left. December 2022 we welcomed Baby Boy #2 and all was good…for exactly 24 hours in the hospital. The morning after I had my son, on two hours of sleep at 7 in the morning I got a phone call from a local number I didn't have stored in my phone – my son has a liver issue we have been following and half dead me answered thinking it would be the specialist. It was Dumb Moron, I barely said hello on the phone when I answered it because she rushed to say, and I quote, “Someone told me you had the baby they saw on Facebook, congrats, so when are you coming back?” – the audacity. I quit on the spot, and then immediately called HR and left a voicemail with them. The head of HR called me back and then I immediately forwarded everything about her I documented in my email to them. I don't know what became of her, but I 100% hope she got fired. That was just the final straw for me. Here's an example of things she's done over the 2 years I worked for her:
- Harassed and Guilted employees who had to call out or schedule PTO. Why? “For not being team players”/ once called off due to my 3 year old throwing up with a fever and couldn't find a sitter – she told me I would have to come in anyway, and I told her fine I'll bring him with and he can puke on the floor. She backed off, but it never stopped her.
- Told her staff in both branches to “pick all your PTO days ahead of time but in seniority order – don't let people surprise you with things I won't approve any other requested days unless everyone has their days picked at least 5 months in advance”
- Absolutely nothing except sit in her office crying about her boyfriends loudly on the phone, also fought in the parking lot in front of clients with said boyfriends.
- Blame her supervisors for account mistakes that she herself made while opening.
- Looked up employee accounts and give employees lectures on their spending habits.
- Plain and simple, just being a bitch. Talked down to us and yelled for being “not good enough”, “not smart enough” – blamed us for everything when she was the cause of the mistakes. Made us do things out of our pay range and position. Just constant anxiety.
I must say although now I work a part time job a couple days a week, and things are tighter than when I worked full time – the calm I feel is insane compared to when I worked for her.
