say something about ... yourself!

Yikes Karen! I doubt if I would have even shown up on Monday after that. I mean what are the odds his phone dials the exact person you are talking about?

It honestly doesn't come as a shock to me to see they fired your coworker after he opened up about it. I've seen such things happen before and there is always some sort of excuse to try and (feebly) hide the real fact of why they are getting rid of him.

Yeah, go get another job at a better place.
 
Haha, kind of expected that to happen really, Karate being about fighting on your feet and Ju-Jitsu being more about getting your opponent to the floor.

Oh ok, I forgot to mention: So my boss's name starts with an A and so she was
the first on Tyler's contact list, AND his phone is a piece of shit that when you lock the keys- all it takes is one key to be pushed long and the keys are unlocked... It actually can happen... I dialed many numbers by accident like this when I forgot to lock my keys..

Anyhoo Dan: It actually aggravates me and angers me to see Tyler was fired today. What kind of a working environment is this when an employee can't speak his mind about what bothers him?

With that being said, my boss is overly nice to me today.
 
Dude looked pretty helpless on the ground, didn't he? His entire karate background didn't help him for shit in that fight. He ran right in, got taken down and made a first bjj practice mistake. Not a white belt, beginner mistake... the kind of mistake that is so obvious it's taught the very first time you ever take a bjj class. NEVER EVER EVER put your arms straight up like that when the guy has you mounted. I'm surprised the bjj guy didn't take that armbar sooner.

From what you've said this lady reminds me a little of my former assistant manager. She would get angry at me if she was in a bad mood or if I did something that bothered her (like changing the mannequins or trying to do homework when the store was empty), but often she'd be excessively nice. What was really weird is that it seemed like she was always trying to get me out of the store... asking if I wanted to go home early or go shopping when we were having slow days. I don't understand that kind of mentality at all, but I guess anyone like her and your boss try to be nice so that they can get you on their side and establish their authority further.

I'd say that there's probably no point in trying to reason with her. When I tried to confront my assistant manager, she immediately started defending herself in a very angry way when I was trying to have a civil, rational conversation. Fortunately the store manager is awesome and fired that bitch (and I found out later that she had wanted to fire her earlier, but had to go out of town and didn't want to leave the store without a manager for two weeks). But before that I had given quitting some serious thought, even though this job pays well and is hell of easy, just because that woman made it so unpleasant.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious that your boss is an unhappy person (perhaps because she's married to a homo?), and no matter how nice you are or how hard you work, she's still going to take out her personal misery on you.
 
My new manager is somewhat similiar, she changes emotions with the drop of a hat. She tries to act like she cares, but at the same time, yells when you're doing the wrong thing, even if it's just for a second.

Not only that, she loves to watch your every move, and stands in the middle of the grooming area, arms crossed, like she owns the place-plus she's in the way.

And she loves to treat me like a baby and downtalks me every chance she gets. And when I use big words, she looks at me like I'm not speaking English.....

/rant.


Good luck with finding new jobs, people <3
 
Wow Karen...thats heavy..my mom worked for the jail in our county several years ago and she had HORRIBLE HORRIBLE bosses...one of the sheriffs lackeys was so horrible to her everyday she would come home crying half the time...this guy hated women and belittled her on a daily basis during training...much like yours was only put a cops uniform on her and make her a very angry pissy man who hates women... D: She ended up leaving after maybe 3 months of being there...
So i hope you find another job, Karen..at first i was a bit peeved that you left it because of how things are right now with it being nigh impossible to find good jobs, but man..i guess i would have left too...
GOOD LUCK CARA! that sounds promising!
 
She is on the playing field of a lawsuit, she just needs to play her cards right and get some evidence, maybe meet with a lawyer and see what would help her case. Regardless of what she did, they can't act the way they ware. Either she fucked up enough to get fired, or reprimanded but it can't be like a 'you fucked up and now I'm going to make everyday of your life here hell' type of situation. They need to decide.

Her boss can do what ever she wants, and especially now due to the circumstances of overhearing the conversation, be it out of the work place or not. Ms. Boss now has a huge amount of ammo to act accordingly on basis of prejudice and disrespect. No offense to Karen, and I have been in her position a time or two, but if it was me who overheard that conversation both her and her co-workers stuff would have been sitting on the doorstep in the morning. Not that I'm siding with her boss in anyway. The fact her boss was "sweet as pie" for me is a red flag. Overlooking her behaviour of past , the overheard conversation and current disposition, to me it means something is afoot. I'd go in, gather my crap, tell her Miller Lite sucks almost as bad as she does and sail out the door.
