    My boss (manager) has been under investigation for a few different things for awhile now, and has had numerous complaints come in from hourly associates, leads, and supervisors. I've cooperated with the investigations when questioned (I'm a supervisor) but

    I'm actually leaving very soon for another job. Today I came in and saw an HR rep in the breakroom, which is not usual, and asked what was up. She said I should go speak with the VP of Operations. So I did and

    • SuckingO... OP • 1d ago Edited 1d ago SMALL UPDATE: I woke up in the middle of the night (which is now, I work nights and went to bed at like 2) and he had called me, and I swear I wish this was an exaggeration but its not, 28 times in the span of an hour and then texted "Thank you smart mouth," "Hi," and finally "Win." I'd

    post the screenshot of that but I don't think you can do that in a comment. To answer a few broad questions and concerns, he was absolutely drunk. My coworker was on the phone with him when I left work and he was absolutely hammered. He called a lot of

    people but for some reason me not picking up made him zero in on me being the snitch or something. I was definitely not solely responsible for him getting fired, I don't even actually know what he was technically fired for other than "being a bad fit with our cultural values," which is usually code

    for like, he said stupid stupid and offensive . The last time I was questioned by HR about him they specifically asked about instances of him saying racist or homophobic things in the workplace and I was honest with them that, yes, he has done that.

    That's pretty much it though. I plan on just showing the screenshots to the VPO tomorrow and letting them deal with it

    HealthyStonksBoys • 1d ago So stop responding to them, report the harassment to your job and if you have a loss/prevention department they might need to get involved. This sort of thing can get dangerous

    BrainWaveCC . 1d ago At this point, stop responding. Even if he apologizes in the morning, don't respond to it at that time (if ever). The situation is too volatile.

    Prestigious-D... • 1d ago Edited 22h ago It is odd when people lose control like this. My boss was fired last *week (correction:year) due to mismanagement with masses of evidence. He tried to blame myself and my colleagues for mismanaging the money and budget. He seems to have forgotten that he was the only one with access to them. Six months later and he still is posting on social media how we stabbed him in the back.

    Modest Moss • 1d ago Seems your boss likes to communicate cryptically. Poor communication is usually a hallmark of a bad boss. :)

    slowthanfast . 1d ago This happened to me when I managed back of house of a parts warehouse. Sales assistant manager always crossed the line and I would never take his ... Come to find out he has been through this several times and the company even paid for him to go to anger management. Crazy. Anyways I was there four months and he got fired after ten years... Still crazy to me

    Onethatblooms 1d ago He definitely sounds frustrating. And it is kinda. heartbreaking. I remember being completely heartbroken when my company of 9 years fired. me 10 days before my wedding. My only advice, be patient, calm and kind. Don't say anything bad or refrain from any kind of argument

    • CherryDarling10 1d ago We have a similar case where I work now. He's been calling several administrators, threatening to sue. He even called the owner of the company. All drunk as a skunk. He was under investigation multiple times and we have records of his harassment. He has no case obviously. This type of thing is unnervingly common. It's just office politics.
