    Reading this thread is brutal, I still have 3 and a half month till my son arrives. It's like reading a thread where everyone is beta testing a game and I have to wait till release.

    Because I have never had to deal with anything like this before in my life maybe. I am the most easy going person on the planet. I don't make enemies, I try to befriend everyone. I have never been treated like this by anyone so it's kind of foreign to me.

    Everything was being handled by the regional manager for the first month and a half. He was filling me in on the happenings and giving me updates. Then he told me it was above him and that he couldn't talk about it anymore. My manager is a very volatile dude. He talks a big game. Every time...

    My mom used to make that kind of stuff all the time. Some kind of sausage or hot dog, sauerkraut and any kind of potato. I liked it with hash browns the best. I ate mine with lots of sour cream and pepper.

    I was just looking over my payroll to see if it had been done properly. I noticed that he has been paying the part timer he favors major overages on hours. Each week has a schedule and each week he is supposed to fill in payroll to mirror that. Over the last 2 months he has given her an...

    There is a ton in writing already. I also send his boss notes every week via email. I really have no idea why he hasn't been fired yet. It shouldn't take this long if they were actually going to do anything about it. It has gotten to the point of me working in other stores near by when my...

    In Canada if your fired you can get Employment Ensurance, the government gives you money while you look for work. If you quit you get nothing.

    I am looking. Also does anyone have any idea what my rights are here? Hostile work environment made more hostile by the company throwing me to the wolves to take notes on this asshole. I have never dealt with anything like it.

    This is spot on. I'm just concerned that quitting now will put me in a worse spot. Of course I can look for work but i'm moving soon and I don't know if I want to travel for work after the baby is born. If this situation is dealt with in a week and he gets fired I can take my time and look for...

    The town i'm moving to is also smaller with less work. I just thought I would be moving with this job to go to. I was projected to make $32,000 in my first year based on sales projections. The salesmen in similar stores make $40-45,000 for a minimal effort job. The store opened like a week...

    If my sales weren't being stolen I would be making about $1,100 every two weeks for basically folding clothes. The thing is if I quit today and he gets fired tomorrow I would never forgive myself.
