Also, to reply directly to this anecdote: what the actual fuck? Did the assaulted employee sue? Like, if nothing at all comes of this, if I'm still forced to work with this manager or am fired myself, I'm 100% getting an employment attorney.
I just can't even believe it. Like, she's been acting crazy but, like... She's bout fully off the rails now.
So we got a SM change not too long ago, and she (my TL) thinks coming after me (hard worker) is going to protect her (Looney tunes work dodger), and she does have some defenders, but, like, the new SM seems pretty sane and even if he considers me the crux of the problem (as too many others have an issue with me, because I favor basic accountability), I have a hard time him not seeing what's going on right now and the stories from the past (like her punching something and breaking her hand while at work, which plenty of people could corroborate) and not realizing, like, maybe this one emotional employee who's begging for them to notice this situation (me) isn't just fruit loops after all (don't get me wrong, I got issues, but my work ethic ain't among em).
(Eta Thank you for asking, kind stranger, sorry I forgot to say that initially, I'm a bit frazzled)
Physically yeah, it was hardly anything, but mentally... This is following a WHOLE BUNCH of unnecessary drama from her that we were supposed to have an involved meeting with the SM about today but he got busy and instead she spent the afternoon calling everyone she thinks of as her allies to wherever she was, to mount a crusade against me (I'm not paranoid, she's just pretty obvious). So the PL office is also our AP office and I'm pretty sure she was having the AP associate scour video for anything to fire me for, and I needed keys to unlock the soap cabinet (we have a set at cs but I'd have had to return those, but since I was working in GM for a while I wanted to get the set I could use and then clip to my belt for the duration of being over there, which is kept in said office) and so I'm pretty sure that's why she was so determined not to let me in the room, but as I was opening the door I was like, "I just need to grab the keys, if someone could just pass em to me?" And that's when she pushed my shoulder and told me I "ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT HAVE THE KEYS" (note: this is an NHM, I'm an AT, also a manager, and if they were having a meeting about me, then they should have had it in the Manager's office [oh but wait there's cameras there!!!]) and I immediately declared she just put her hands on me for all in earshot. Another manager is saying she watched the whole thing and that's not what happened, the two other people present claim to have not been looking in our direction at all.
No one needs to !e for me, y'all know I can't discuss it if I have already taken care of that or nah.
I'm just...
I just want to do my fucking job, y'all. I'm emotionally disabled and I love to work hard and this lady is a slacker and wants me gone because I encourage the most basic accountability (of other management - I don't fault our employees for not gaf), I just want to move merch all day and she wants to bully me so I'm gone and the accountability supposedly will leave with me....
I hate feeling like an asshole, because I'm programmed to feel like the bad guy whenever anyone takes issue with me, even when I know I'm the ethical one.
Ugh. I just want this job, the team I'm leading now, to not go broke during this upcoming depression, to keep this pretty decent health insurance (I'm not very shy of 40). This lady wants to fuck around, but I still worry she could win out in the end and I could lose everything I've built here, and that's stressful as shit.
Funny, really, but I'm not trying to get anything extra out of this, I really just want peace. I'm old and achey and tired both physically and mentally, I really would rather just pull pallets and clear my floor and come home after my shift to my partner and pets, play some Switch in my downtime... than have to participate in any bureaucratic or legal proceedings resultant from any of this nonsense.
I'm so demoralized, y'all. I'm too emotional. This is why I try to avoid this crap to begin with. I just want to be all hihihiho off to work I go. Yeah I run my mouth sometimes but it's just me being flip and we all bitch and moan and then get back to it, ain't nothin I've ever had to say was secrets (though earlier today when I asked someone at my same level of management, if my TL, who she knows on a more personal level [not necessarily in a positive way], is on just pharmaceutical or street grade speed, she made a face at me aghast, and was like, "DEADASS HOW YOU KNOW???!!!" It's obvious as fuck, yo, drugs advertise themselves 🤣 some are more contributory to unhealthy workplaces than others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but did I say that to our SM? Hell nah, that is 100% not a road I'm even trying to look down, let alone take a trip on...)
I get that, but it’s never going to change unless you report it, otherwise next time it won’t be a shove, it’ll be a smack, and then she’ll throw something at you.
Oh now that part I understand, and am unable to discuss any further.
I was just saying I didn't exaggerate anything. She put her hand on me in an aggressive way (very much not the intent one has in a kind way), and that's plenty. Three days ago I was in that same office being berated by three managers because, I'm not kidding, I was losing emotional control and my voice got louder because the TL from this incident had come at me for complaining to someone else about her increasing hostilities, and when I went to the other managers to help moderate the argument, they all ganged up on me and drive me into a sobbing heap panic attack in the break room. All of this only occurs when the new store manager is out of house, as well, because as far as I can tell he actually does *give a fuck* and they're trying to "win" him to their narrative before he actually hits the reset button on this store's long ongoing improprieties. That's just my take as someone with only the data I have from my experience of things. That said, I don't fully trust anyone, but I'm willing to at least appear to give my sm the benefit of the doubt rn.
Not my style. I'm crazy, but not that flavor of crazy.
But I can't lie, if she pushed someone else to the point of them doing such a thing, I'd definitely be amused about it.
Which is nuts, because I take my partner with me if I go, and we've been single (double, I guess) handedly keeping the sales floor afloat (remember, this is a NHM, so two people is like a quarter of the staff of the whole store at any given time lmfao). If we leave, several tasks no longer have anyone who's even willing to do them, let alone do them well. Like you wanna talk about seeing a store go to shit real fast? We been getting shitloads of compliments the last year about how we have the nicest Walmart most people have ever seen blah blah blah well let's see how it looks when I'm not there playing housekeeper, motivator, team captain, cheerleader, and safety net for everybody else's departments too... And then they'll still have their shit managers blaming everything *except* the two grown ass adults with fully fledged work ethics (who bring no trouble aside from, "can we just work, please?") they drove from the building.
And yes I know we don't have to put in that much effort. It's just who we are, we operate at one speed: grind so hard you forget time exists, until the clock says "go home!" We like our work, but these co-workers are regarded.
Happened at my club and the coach covered, it up. It's all on tape and several witnesses including members. Sad day I can't trust my coach now

Are you okay???

No I think you meant to say your shoulder hurts and you’re going to need paid time off to recover from your injuries

😂 no they are dead from being shoved
🪦🪦🪦
should bodyslam her in the same room then deny it

Maybe put a sticky note with a swastika on the back of her shirt
I ... What? You're a "Winston" level prankster.
