Currently I work part time for a small company.
Recently an ex employee who used to be a manager came to the owner of the company begging for a position. He was offered a position of an employee at one of our locations (they are all nearby in the same building).
He was not offered a management position- he's just a normal employee.
Within his first few days working here again he would come to the other locations and tell people how to do their jobs. He even bossed around my manager and moved things around creating issues for other employees. He's been told off by three employees.
I came to work about two weeks ago and my boss had a sit down with me.
My co worker from another location and I will meet up when there's no customers and have a cigarette outside which takes 5 minutes. We are allowed to do so.
The ex management employee told my boss me and my co worker went outside for 20 minutes (not true) and that we are having an affair...and he thinks we go outside to hook up with each other. I'm not even kidding.
My boss knew it was BS and wrote a complaint to the company owner.
The ex management employee also told my boss everyone hated her (not true) and told her to fire my co-worker that I smoke with!
I came to work today (two weeks after this incident) and my boss seemed upset.
She told me the ex management employee once again made complaints about me and my co worker. The ex management employee has no reason to complain neither of us have done anything. Yesterday I had a woman offer to write a letter to the owner telling her how wonderful I was to her when no one would help her. I take my job pretty seriously, I do a good job I go by the book and I am excellent at customer service. He literally has no reason to complain- I have been doing everything by the book lately and it's not even his place to complain- he doesn't work at this location!!!! He complained to the company owner and suggested we should be fired and if not, we need to be re-trained. He offered to take over the night staff and re train us! I've been with this company for 7 months and my co worker has been with the company for two years!!!
My manager knows the ex management employee is trying to take over management and everyone knows he's trying to kiss the owners bum and suck up and make up lies so he can pry his way into a management position. I called it two weeks ago and now he's making up more BS and offering to re-train us, IE take over management at night, plus telling my manager no one likes her, to make her feel bad and maybe want to quit!
So now my manager has to come in at night time to supervise me and my co worker (which she is upset about) and the owner has made her adopt a 3 strikes you're out rule so if I make a slight mistake (something on the computer or I forget something) I can get fired. All because this idiot is making up lies about me and my co worker which have no basis- and he isn't even a manager!
My manager gave me permission to tell him what I've heard and give him a piece of my mind. I am beyond fuming and don't know if I should say something to him, say something to the owner, ignore him or what...but I'm PISSED!!!
I don't want to lose my job over this guy and I'm super tempted to chew him out. GRRRR
