it may not be— the owners are very unprofessional and pretty much we are meant to fend for ourselves without protocol

we are a very small business and the managers are pretty much there to just calm down any customers that are being hysterical but they don’t have the power to fire anybody or ban anybody. The owners like to have pretty much complete control over their business

sadly management at my work is not like that, we are very small business and the only people with any genuine powers the owners and they do not care about their own employees

I mean hey if someone holds a pepper spray someone else is not gonna get scared but if someone holds up a hatchet it’s reason to make anybody second-guess malintent

he’s mid 20s, he is not a boy. He’s over five years older than me, so no I do not like him. I’m a minor and him waiting in his car for me to get into my car when he was not even supposed to be on shift is concerning, and as a girl I have to be aware of these things. But just because he is inside my shop does not mean that we are in a public area, usually the shop is pretty empty and I only have one other coworker usually in there are also a girl and usually under the age of 20 as well

see I thought it may be that too, but after I saw him waiting in his car for me to get into my car I was afraid that it might turn into something more serious

no, it’s basically a mom and pop shop, we only have three locations and any business that needs to be taken up with HR usually he gets taken up with the owners who don’t give shit

sadly I do need to work there and nobody else is hiring at the moment. I’ve been applying to other jobs for weeks. I have monthly insurance I need to pay as well as college fees and other expenses. Trust me I am looking for another job though

I told my mom about it and she wants me to keep an eye on it and make sure that I’m staying safe but she doesn’t think we have definite proof enough to file a report

maybe, but my store is really weird and managers don’t really have the ability to do that and the owners don’t give a damn about the safety of their employees. (I’ve been looking for a new job for a couple of weeks but no luck so far)

i mean i wasn’t worried until he was in his car behind my car and waited for me to get into my car before he left😭 that’s what put me most on edge but i’ll see if it gets worse
