It is a horrible situation to be in, to desperately need that job and to be unable to rock the boat. It’s a sad fact that it’s not an uncommon situation, especially in service industry jobs. It’s been my experience that the managers often really don’t care about bullying/harassment going on within the staff as long as the customers are happy. That attitude causes a toxic work environment in which the more senior staff make the junior staff members work lives hell. I hope the manager in this case is different, but having a complaint from customers will help those junior staff out.Girl on wheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796804535876857751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-84313877901064541502018-05-31T16:20:30.534-04:002018-05-31T16:20:30.534-04:00Many people who don't speak up are now enabled...Many people who don't speak up are now enabled by their cellphones to take video, but it is rare to find people like you willing to speak to management in defense of people who have to tolerate an abusive situation because it is always just under the line for them to report it, and need the job.<br /><br />Thank you, for them. Thank you, for others like them.<br /><br />ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-11420794762712930402018-05-31T09:43:54.874-04:002018-05-31T09:43:54.874-04:00Not exactly the quiet dinner you were hoping for. ...Not exactly the quiet dinner you were hoping for. I'm glad that you and Joe had the time in the morning to take to the manager. Bullies are so skilled at doing what they do without witnesses...and practiced bullies like this man seem to enjoy the additional risk/reward of humiliating individuals in front of a group with relative impunity. Touching someone else is NEVER ok in the context of work settings.
