I (23m) have been working at this place for 5 months and just got a write-up, nothing I got written up for has ever been mentioned in the manual or by other workers or my manager. I have been saving for a car (as best as I can in this economy) so I have been very lenient with what rules have gotten broken by my manager but if shes gonna write me up for a medical emergency I feel as if it's earned to report all the rules she's broken (especially since part of my write up is related to disability).
i feel so petty for calling corporate on her seeing as I've never done it to jobs that arguably have treated me worse, but I'm so sick of managers taking advantage of the fact I'm desperate to keep a job. I'm fearful if I report the store's condition I will lose my job and the store will close down because its run by a bitchy 27-year-old that's never been anything but a manager her entire work history.
I was raised by an “even if your manager murders half your coworkers in cold blood ignore it” household, so the idea of telling someone “hey she's one of the worst managers I've had and I've had one let me almost bleed out on the floor” is mortifying to me even though she's been racist and homophobic other coworkers and myself (she called a former coworker the N-word for calling out because she refused to accommodate his new schedule at his second job)
she had no problem with me getting my foot run over in the parking lot multiple times, but the one time I call out because the person I was with had a grand-mal seizure and had caused me to have a ptsd episode over it was what made her write me up? when she took 6 weeks off for a single child football game (not multiple football games just one that's a 1-hour drive away??) even though she made me reschedule my medically necessary surgery because it was too “inconvenient” for her. I'm sick of her bullshit but I don't wanna lose my job and can't afford my rent half the time let alone a labor law lawyer to deal with her illegal bullshit. just uggghhhh
