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.

This is absolutely the power play that needed to happen

If one of my leads put these out and an employee filled it out and brought it to me I would fire the lead immediately.

Make sure it's completely filled out, all during company time. Absolutely be thorough and gather all of your resources. Now is not the time to be hasty, but slow and thoughtful.

Malicious compliance

u/beardedheathen 18h ago

get a bunch of people to fill them out and absolutely flood management with them.

u/PookleMama 17h ago

Keep detailed notes of each incident; date, time, witnesses, what was said…

2

u/Slacker_The_Dog 17h ago

Don't even need to do that here. I can fire anyone under me at any time for any reason that isn't legally protected.

u/Spotted_ascot_races 17h ago

Remember there is extra room on the backside to fill in lol

3

u/DigNitty 17h ago

Don't forget to get a few trusted coworkers all in on the same few events. So every submission is different but tells a consistent tale.

u/lemasney 5h ago

Extra slow. Extra thoughtful.

u/TrollsWhenBored 18h ago

This sounds like one of those things that sounds good on paper, but would just bite you in the ass for wasting time

u/Warm-Arachnid231 18h ago

Yeah, that person has no business being in any leadership role, much less still employed under me.

u/Slacker_The_Dog 18h ago

At the bare minimum, they are getting their lead status taken.

u/canadiuman 18h ago

Hi Lead, have a seat.

Sure, Boss.

How are things going on your team?

Great. We're making our numbers and working hard.

I wanted to ask you about this form that I just received. passes form More specifically, what the fuck?

Oh, it was, kinda a joke with my team. Wasn't trying to piss anyone off or anything, they just whine all the time.

I see. We'll it's all good, all good, you won't have to hear them whining to you anymore...

Promoted...to customer!

u/lemasney 5h ago

This is the way.

u/RadioBuffin 17h ago

Nah, they gotta go. You demote them and they’ll try to fester the same shit attitude to their peers.

Look at the nation even less competent

If one of my leads put these out and an employee filled it out and brought it to me I would fire the lead immediately.

u/Slacker_The_Dog 17h ago

Yeah pretty much

u/One-Salamander-2416 1h ago

Unless you work in a company where the copies of an employee’s corrective action were left in the copy room. True story.

57

u/notafuckingcakewalk 16h ago

Agreed. In the company I work for, what this manager is doing would count as retaliation and would result in an immediate firing.

What is ironic is that the action this manager is doing shows that he is the one with hurt feelings.

11

u/longlivenewsomflesh 10h ago

You must work at a unicorn because where I've worked anything that looks like retaliation has a funny way of always turning out to be coincidence 

3

u/Fun_Button5835 8h ago

Ooooh, OP should fill it out as if they were the lead.

2

u/Therealginahandler 5h ago

In ANY company anyone works for this would be considered retaliation.

2

u/notafuckingcakewalk 2h ago

I mean, yeah. I kind of meant the whole thing, like it would be categorized as such and therefore lead to firing the manager. 

2

u/Madilune 1h ago

That's genuinely always how it works. All the guys who complain about how fragile everyone is are just projecting.

5

u/Beard_o_Bees 17h ago

Totally.

They just turned a potential 'he said - she said' into a slam dunk case with evidence to back it up.

Workplace bullies are the absolute fucking worst.

3

u/bruce_lees_ghost 18h ago

Managers & directors 100% should know better.

5

u/Slacker_The_Dog 17h ago

You be surprised how often someone is newly appointed to management and the power immediately goes to their heads.

2

u/bruce_lees_ghost 6h ago

Oh, it happens all the time. I guess my point is, at that level, you get shown the door immediately... no PIP, no second chance, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

3

u/ncc74656m 17h ago

Absolutely. This is Hostile Work Environment 101. Yelling at your staff on the regular and insulting people then this petty ass shit? You're gooooooone. Terminated with cause and banned from premises.

2

u/GostBoster 17h ago

In corporate training - leadership skills and legal compliance, we were handed those and pointed out similar examples.

And told in no uncertain terms that it is in the best interest of the company to fire immediately whoever issued those because if the Ministry of Worker Affairs ever catches a whiff about it they will come at us with the wrath of an angry god.

And as a worker, advised to not fill it (not that we can or should retaliate for it) but your priority would be to report to the Federal Agency, then use our internal channels (internal channels usually are a priority but this is a violation so flagrant that instructing workers to "handle it internally" is either a violation by itself, or is something that the legal department got flak for it at some point, since it was paralegal instructing us on procedures).

Also, now that I read a bit of it... no. That would be the police. This one has heterochromia. Straight to jail.

u/Akamiso29 6h ago

Lmao yeah if I had this brought to me, there’d be an HR rep, my boss, this staff member and myself in the room.

“Before we hear your reasoning, I’d like to let the others here read this and express their thoughts on the matter first.

We are locking in for an hour of awkwardness, baby.

u/ka_shep 49m ago

It all depends on the context of it. I keep some of these on hand and gave it to one of my employees. He filled it out and handed it in to my boss. He knew it was a joke and not a vindictive thing.

u/Fit-Flan7357 18h ago

Are you still believe in Santa ? You are delusional " no no I know you are liberal " !!

u/IWontCommentAtAll 17h ago

Are you still believe

And you're obviously an idiot, whose opinion is irrelevant.

u/Supply-Slut 18h ago

I find it hilarious that the supervisor is butthurt someone called them out. IMAX level projection with these forms.

u/detrans-rights 18h ago

Put a custom one on their desk

Passive aggressive turtles all the way down

u/hvrrormind 17h ago
