I have to say that I'm shocked! I knew it could happen and it did happen but in my case...I'm getting bullied by the store manager.
I can't believe it! What a pathetic man.
It started off slowly...
He talked behind my back...Thinking I'd never hear of it yet I over-heard him myself and he talked bad about me to the wrong people, aswell! Apparently all of which stood up for me! Which most likely made the whole situation worse.
He seems to have realized that bad-mouthing me isn't the way to go...
So he then tried telling me that if I didn't stay away from my friend, he would sack him...I was absolutely gob-smacked...There was no one to witness what he had just said...So he planned that move well.
And then a few days later...I loaded up my lift with stock to take downstairs to the 1st floor, I close the lift and walk all the way down to find my store manager coming out of the lift that I just loaded! And the lift was empty!
He acted dumb but then made ME go back up and get the stock...He only touched me briefly but he more like forced me into the lift by cornering me in a way and then just closed the door on me!
I hate lifts but at the time I felt I had to use it...As I didn't want to come out of it.
I told my department manager about it and asked "Why is he bullying me?" she was stunned, she knew there had been problems but didn't know I felt that way so she complained to the manager just above her...And nothing happened.
The next day, my department manager comes rushing over to me, pulls me into a quiet room and she says that I'm right and I am being bullied.
I've been there for 5 years and no one has ever had a problem with me, when I wanted extra hours, one of my superiors gave them to me the very next day and even started training me up so I could help with other things around the store. I've always been praised for my work...It's nothing fancy, I simply get a delivery of baby stock every day and I put it to shelf, tidy my area and then put remaining stock in the stock room. It's nice but sometimes challenging so it keeps me happy, I work hard...I take pride in my job.
But that day, the store manager told my department manager that I was s*it at my job and he wanted to cut my hours!
It's been a good week or so since then...And tonight...Well he crossed the line and I don't know if he realizes that he's doing the dance of death with the wrong girl!
He stood OVER me. Towering over me as I was tidying my area of the stockroom...And he just stood there for a good 5 minutes...Watching me.
I ignored him and carried on jibbering on to myself, as I do rolleyes
Which seems to have angered him more...Too bad for him that there are two witnesses to this and both said to me afterwards "Wow, that's what I call intimidation."
And that is exactly what he was doing...He was trying to intimidate me.
It'll take more than one man to do that. I grew up with my 3 brothers and my dad...Some, lanky, scraggly, pathetic excuse for man will not strike fear into my heart.
So I have now made another complaint and the area manager for the south-west will now be informed.
Things could get rough but I'm not about to let a coward play the big man.
