Manager targeted me because of my family priorities; it cost her her job
"As such, I transferred up to a store in the area, and put my nose to the grindstone. I worked Garden before, and did that for some months, before I started to be moved from department to department, as this store was low on staff."

New assistant manager comes on board...
"Half a year into this change, and I had made a good name for myself. I did not have a good deal of friends per se, but I was respected for my work ethic, and willingness to help out anyone, in any department, that asked me."

The new ASM arrives in a big way
"The first I heard of her was when she outright fired a girl working the front desk because of a Playboy tag on a jacket."

u/taecody moves to a new department
"My supervisor was upset that I could not work overtime to help him"
-
"I was made aware of a rumor circulating around the store- that the child was in fact my own daughter, that I had fathered outside of my friend's husband's knowledge. The source of the rumor was unknown, but my ASM had made disparaging remarks to me in the past about men taking care of children, so I had my theories."
-
Trouble brews...
"I had never missed a major holiday since I moved north, and I had asked the same days off the year prior, and had gotten them off, before the ASM arrived (Strike 1)."

"A week after this, the northeast gets slammed by a snow and ice storm. I drive a four wheeled vehicle, and so made it in, but near the end of my shift, I was made aware that my friend's husband had been injured and stranded in a car accident on the ice, and so left to get them home, and their car to a service station."
-
"For that week, I called out each day with 'ongoing family emergency,' with snow and ice still coating the streets, and power still down throughout our city. And every day, I was hounded by calls from management, demanding I return to work regardless."

OP calls it quits.
"I was done. Early in the morning that following Sunday, I walked into work, and placed my resignation letter on HR's desk (That is important latter.) I had tendered it to be immediate, as I live in an at-will state. "
-
"Several hours later, I received the gift that would ignite my semi-accidental revenge. A single text from my ASM- "We will see how long you can take care of your lovechild without us." "
-
-
"Lovechild feels like a slur against her, and I am not cool with that, and neither are they. However. They informed me of the monumental screw-up my (now former) ASM had made. It was time for corporate HR to be made aware, and so I began to compile my evidence- the texts from my supervisor, the call records and messages left, and this holy grail of a text message. "

"Appliances- quit to a man.
Garden- left with their manager to work at a competitor's, as he had been working on this well before my saga began.
Front Desk- walked out in protest, as it came out that the ASM had threatened and blackmailed several Muslim part-timers to not wear their headscarves if they wanted hours.
Lumber, Receiving's main partner- quit.
Pro Desk- joined the front desk protest, as one of their number, a Sikh man, had also been threatened."
-
"My source's last report of the ASM was seeing her sprinting to her car, after having heard that the district staff was inbound, and the store manager was forced to shut the store down for the next two days, last I've heard. "
-
"Tldr: An assistant manager got on a power trip and harassed myself and several other employees, leading to her ultimate downfall and the biggest mass quitting I've ever been apart of"
