Woman Reports Boss to HR For Mocking Her Daughter's Speech Development

This boss clearly got what she deserved. After overhearing a conversation in which a woman told her co-worker about her two-year-old's slow speech development, her boss joined in and said that the woman's daughter is "probably just stupid." Later, the woman heard her boss continue to make fun of her "mute" daughter to another co-worker, even using the R word. 

 

Yikes. It's like she was trying to get fired, right? Either that or she's actually a trash human being. Honestly, she's probably both of those things. The mother shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. She reported her supervisor to HR and now that the investigation is underway, her boss's supervisor has been complaining about how short-handed they are at work and how doomed they will be if her boss gets fired. 

 

A note to the Redditor: do not feel guilty. Not even for a second. This was your boss's fourth write-up to HR. It takes more effort to mess up that much than it takes to get to the end of Avengers: Endgame. If she can't get it together, she shouldn't have this job. Pure and simple.

 

We've seen plenty of instances where horrible bosses crossed a line. This boss was so behind on paying his employees that he owed them more than $12K. Keep scrolling for u/AITA-hrreport's original post!

    Font - r/AmItheAhole Posted by u/AITA-hrreport 3 hours ago AITA for reporting my supervisor to HR for calling my daughter stupid? n I (27F) have a daughter (2F) who barely speaks. On a regular basis she only says four words, yes, no, Mama and blank (which she means blanket by). On a break, but still in the break room, I was talking to a coworker about all the speech therapy her doctor recommended, and how worried I was for her. My boss walked in when I was explaining how few words she says, laug

    Font - I froze because I saw red, and my coworker (who is also a childhood friend), grabbed my arm and basically dragged me out before I could do or say anything I'd regret. I started angry crying and she helped me calm down. When I went back to my station, I ignored my supervisor since I need this job. However, she started making jokes to a coworker about my "mute r*tard daughter". Our stations have cameras with audio, so I immediately called HR, right in front of her, and made a complaint. She

    Font - I don't feel bad, but her supervisor is constantly complaining now that we're short handed since she can't come back until the investigation is complete, and how screwed we'll be if she does get fired. AITA? Edit: I have no idea what other stuff she's been written up for since I only found out when HR informed me that "discussing private medical information covered by a coworker's insurance is worthy of a fourth write up". She's decent enough at her job, clients like her, etc. She worked

    Font - HotChildinDaCity. 3 hr. ago S My son didn't speak until he was 3 years old. We were very freaked, and took him to specialists who said he might be non verbal for life. Then he just started chatting away, and never stopped. He's now a 27 year old happy, healthy, intelligent, awesome human being. F*ck your supervisor and her small minded judgement. I hope she does get fired. You wouldn't have anything to report if she hadn't said it in the first place. ΝΤΑ 883 Reply Share ...

    Font - Electric Paladin - 3 hr. ago Part sipant [1]] NTA. It's not your fault this is their fourth write up in such a short time. It sounds like they're a jerk. If they hadn't made a habit of harassing their coworkers this would be their first write up. 139 Reply Share
