It's funny, sometimes it seems like the most ignorant people are also the most prone to completely unwarranted power trips. This lady for instance, "took over" the manager position and proceeded to let her ego swell to such nauseating levels that she ended up costing her company thousands, while being blind to the very destruction that she caused. Fortunately, she was outed for her antics by an employee who was ready to take the pro revenge when the opportunity presented itself.

This does't paint me in a great light, but i was 18/19 at the time, and a dick. About 8 or 9 years ago, I worked retail in a small outdoor goods store (6 members of staff small). Ski stuff in the winter, Camping/hiking in the summer. I wasn't passionate about it, but a job's a job! The woman who hired me left pretty soon af

    Text - Lauren was the kind of girl we have all had the poor fortune to deal with at some point. Irresponsible, held power over you when it suited her, and tried painfully hard to be your best friend the next. Annoying at best as a supervisor, but abusive with her power as a manager. She started by changing people's shifts so she was never in the store during peak hours. She'd take the easy shifts when the store was dead, and would spend her time hanging out in the back office doing "important pa

    Text - The worst thing she did though, was abuse the 3 month probation rule. Off the top of my head, they went through 8 different members of staff over the course of 5 months. That might not sound a lot, but in a store of 6 employees, it wasn't a small amount. A member of staff would be hired, and would be doing great, and then all of a sudden "I'm sorry we don't need your services any more" and they were gone. "It's just not working out" - vanished. "I just don't think you're the right fit for

    Text - We then hired a woman called Kirsty, who was in her mid-late 30's and was a great person. Enthusiastic, a team player, great with customers. I mean pretty much EXACTLY what you want in a manager. However, when it was just me and Lauren, Lauren would go off on how she doesn't like Kirsty, how she thinking about getting rid of her unless her "attitude" improved etc, and I decided to step in. I got my phone, and hit record as Lauren went on another rant later on. "Here's the think Kirsty doe

    Text - That night I sent the video to Kirsty, telling her to make sure she was on her best behaviour, but she ended up taking the issue up with the area manager. He came to the store, called Lauren out. Told her that in the time she'd been in charge, the store had lost somewhere in the region of 15'000 - 20'000, they had to get the police involved against her "friend" who stole from the tills, and our store for some reason had one of the highest turnover rates in the country. He fired her on the
