Yesterday another Supervisor on my crew (I’m of the same position, just newer to the crew) began screaming at me over an issue in front of all the other employees. Not once did the other supervisor talk to me privately about the issue before hand. While she was screaming at me she also was verbally threatening me. Making it really seem like she wanted to fight – so I walked away.
I will admit the issue she was yelling about I was in the “wrong” for (it’s one of the unnecessary rules that most days she also doesn’t enforce) ; but she could’ve just spoke to me privately. Instead she chose to scream at me in front of the entire work crew, twice and threaten me.
I decided to wait to discuss the unprofessionalism they displayed yesterday till today, assuming they would be calmer. They began to scream at me again and call me a child – and threatened to clock me out immediately (so for no reason other then to be petty) of any event they were running in the future even if I didn’t do anything wrong.
I walked to the company van to call our direct manager – only to find out the other supervisor already did so and lied about the situation. After discussing my side of the story she decided that I would just not work any of the stores she was running; which means less work hours for me – because she made me feel unsafe in my place of work.
Why am I the one in trouble when she was threatening violence in the workplace? Do you guys think there’d be any other options ?
