unfair ex-boss?

Question

I was a worker at a coffee company. i had only been on the job with the public for a couple weeks. The 2 owners got on me about doing things a certain way. One girl was late one day because she was sick so they wrote her up even after she told them. One morning, my alarm didn't go off so i was late for work. They had me work 8 hours then afterwards told me I was fired. I got ahold of the corporate headquarters via email and he apparently told them what I told him.The owner came in to my work while i was working and negatively confronted me about it. I couldn't tell her anything nasty because she could have gone over to customer service and complained that i was very rude.
so i was thinking about emailing the guy at headquarters again and telling him what she did tonight. would that be a good idea or what do i do? I don't want to feel like i've let them won. But i couldn't really be assertive without sounding aggressive, but my work is important to me. i didnt want to jeopardize my jo

i also felt i was singled out when i did something wrong. sometimes the managers would be fine and other times they would freak out about the tiniest things such as the above stated.

so what should i do? email the corporate office again and say that they came in to my work and bothered me? confronted me? harassed me? is there a difference between negatively confronting and harassing?

LITTLE MEMO: I DON'T WORK THERE ANYMORE PEOPLE!

WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING ME TO JUST QUIT?

LIKE 3 OF YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ IT THOROUGHLY. HAHA.

Answer 1

if you're fired, you're fired. move on.

Answer 2

My reading of the above gives me to understand that you are currently employed elsewhere, having been fired by your ex-boss after some 2 weeks on the job, and that said ex-boss confronted you on your new job.

If this is correct, I'd say forget about worrying about "letting the ex-boss win". What you should be concerned about is someone coming to your new job and confronting you in a "negative" way. That's of far more concern.

I'd write a nice, clear letter to your ex-boss, copying his immediate supervisor, and that person's boss or the person in HQ. I'd state the bare facts of the case so as to provide background and have documentation. I'd make a polite but firm request that your ex-boss state his grievances (if any) in a suitable forum, one of which is NOT your new job.

If you state your case clearly, politely and firmly, you should be able to prevent any future nasty confrontations at your new job.

Good luck.

Answer 3

you actually have an excellent case for an employment lawyer.

a negative confrontation in public opens up the door to all kinds of things. your manager was obviously not properly trained and therefore the entire corporation is liable.

pursue this at a corporate level with well written, concise and thoughtful letter with details to hr and demand the manager be fired and whatever else you want. you'd be surprised how they will bend if this really happened.

Answer 4

dude if these people own the store it doesn't really matter what corporate says because they can only lose their franchise rights, not the shop. This is their management style, and you can either put up with it, talk to them personally about any problems you have (in a constructive nonconfrontational way), or leave and find another job.

Answer 5

Find a new job. Obviously this company isn't very good at working with their greatest assets - thier employees.

Answer 6

yes , he had no business coming to your new job, thats harrassment, email the HQ again, and tell them if it happens again youll be getting lawyer, and that you want an apology from him.

screw him

Answer 7

If they do it again, file harassment charges with your local police or sheriff's dept.

Answer 8

That seems a bit quick on your boss' part. n
