update to manager losing his mind

I came into work and preceded to talk about yesterday's outburst from him. He told me that it was nothing personal just business, when I pressed him on why he acted that way he told me “if I'm going to cause problems today I should just go home” so that's when I told him that he has no right to say that to me, and if happily call the union if need be. That quieted him down and then I hit him with it. “I'm just notifying you that I'm putting in my two weeks notice” I said firmly. He then gave me his sob story about how he's going through a divorce and that he needs to get this department up to standard otherwise he'll be fired and lose custody of his child. I explained to him, as well tragic as that is he shouldn't be taking it out…


I came into work and preceded to talk about yesterday's outburst from him. He told me that it was nothing personal just business, when I pressed him on why he acted that way he told me “if I'm going to cause problems today I should just go home” so that's when I told him that he has no right to say that to me, and if happily call the union if need be.

He then gave me his sob story about how he's going through a divorce and that he needs to get this department up to standard otherwise he'll be fired and lose custody of his child. I explained to him, as well tragic as that is he shouldn't be taking it out on me. He then asked if I wanted him to apologize, and I just silently looked at him and he apologized. I still handed in my two weeks.

I met with the store director and explained everything that had happened the day before and why I was handing in my two weeks notice, he looked very upset with my manager and asked if there was a way I would reconsider leaving. I told him that if they upped my pay and disciplined my manager I would THINK about it. Mind you I have pulled thousands of dollars in expired food product, come up with a system to check dates by putting up a whiteboard and writing dates, on top of training new employees and working 100% by myself for multiple days in a row. I have bought my own gloves because they have been out, and my own cleaning supplies when they have run out. He upped my pay immediately by a dollar and said that he will be upping it more in stages because he can't do it all at once. They will also b transferring me to a different department and make sure to address the situation with my manager.

Will provide more updates if need be, thank you for all the support
