A college girl works at a small convenience store to make some cash as she studies. To make it easier to switch shift with coworkers and see what days are open for extra work, etc., she's encouraged by other colleagues to follow them on Facebook to join a chat where these kinds of work things can be discussed. However, in doing this, all of her coworkers can also see her personal posts. Not that big of a deal, right? Wrong. You never know who is secretly a troll until that troll finds you online. This troll turned out to be one of her supervisors. This woman had been a supervisor there for years, but had been complained about before for online behavior. She, apparently, started commenting disrespectful things on a personal post of this college student coworker and even offended her friends online. The college student immediately blocked her, but not before taking a screenshot of the entire thread of disrespect and sending it to her higher ups. The next day she submitted a formal complaint as well, and only two weeks later, the senior supervisor who had been there for years was let go. If you're going to be a troll, maybe don't use your real name and have your place of employment for everyone to see…

  • "Supervisor tried to bvlly me...said goodbye to their job instead"

    This happened several years ago now but Facebook just reminded me of this story.

  • was at uni at the time and worked for a large chain supermarket alongside my studies.

  • I have a lot of complex medical issues, some of which weren't diagnosed yet at the time.

  • As a result, I was in and out of hospital a lot and on light duties to avoid injuring myself on the clock.

  • This particular supervisor had a disliking for this because she thought I was being lazy or something.

  • Anyway, all the staff at the store (it was one of those small convenience style stores so there weren't many of us) had each other on Facebook.

  • It made finding cover for shifts easier and for the most part we all got on alright.

  • I had made a jokey status about something funny that happened on my shift, and her one brain cell came to life and she thought it was smart to leave a mean comment.

  • I commented back and told her to shut the f

  • She did not, and made several nasty and derogatory comments about my health issues, was racist towards a friend of mine that jumped in to defend me, and used disgusting language against a dis ed friend that had innocently commented on the original joke.

  • All while she was meant to be on the clock.

  • I blocked her after that, but not before screenshotting the whole conversation and emailing it to every manager I had contact information for.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • The next day I was called in for a meeting with the store manager, the area manager, and HR.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • I submitted a formal grievance on the matter.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • It turned out she had been bu ying another manager for being gay also and was already on a warning.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • Within 2 weeks, she was gone.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • She'd been there for years, and she wrecked her job within 5 minutes by choosing to pick on the wrong person.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • I learned not to have colleagues on social media, but I also learned to use someone's own stupidity against them.
    via wilsonthehuman

  • It can be a dark dark world out there that ruins your faith in humanity all the time, but it's not just reality that cultivates that, it's also online. So maybe just stick to animal rescue videos on line and skip friending the coworkers… 

  • If you're gonna spout hateful sh, don't do it on a public forum with your job listed on your profile.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • The jokes on her anyway, I got a diagnosis shortly after that incident, finished university, left that job behind and have never been happier.
    via wilsonthehuman
  • She's still in that same town utterly miserable, still working a retail job for another supermarket.
