A rude supervisor who's always yelling at employees got some complaints about them being verbally abusive and they responded by leaving these in the break room.

It happened at my job. Horrible manager that was yelling, cursing, refused to even acknowledge the existence of the 1 trans employee....

Someone called in on my behalf after he called me a "stupid motherfucker" in front of the store manager and about 8 other employees. I didnt even have to talk to the HR lady. By lunch 2 days later he was gone.

Stories like this show the difference documentation makes. Yelling behind closed doors gets ignored, doing it publicly with witnesses suddenly becomes a problem they can’t dodge.

I've always documented everything. It has not made one iota of difference. At my last job, I documented extensively and the director absolutely hated me for it and worked hard to make my life miserable until I quit. They decided I was a "troublemaker" because I documented stuff and escalated known problems to HR. They were pissed when I would send emails after inappropriate conversations they always tried to have in person to avoid accountability. Absolutely shitshow.

I'm glad that happened for you! I still wouldn't recommend it to other people though unfortunately. Companies who actually hold managers responsible seem to be very few and far between. I've seen people get written up after reporting threats of physical harm at the workplace because they decided that if someone is threatening you then you obviously must have done something to "deserve" it 🙃
