Had a child-free couple of hours. Was driving past a large shop and thought I would drop in to wonder at the Christmas tat. It was deathly quiet - few customers. Behind me I suddenly heard the manager say to a young female employee "If I'm fucking going down I'll take all of you lot with me". To his surprise, I emerged from behind a display. I said to him "Excuse me - Unacceptable" and to her "that's bullying - you can report that". Then promptly left. Driving out of the car park she flags me down and makes excuses for him. Says he has a new, horrible area manager who is unimpressed with the shop presentation (not overly surprising), says SHE DESERVED IT as she had cocked up. Says he is a great manager really and please would I not report it. She says he has apologised to her. I say I AM going to report it because HE cocked up, by speaking to her on the shop floor and by his language. I say that she does not deserve that kind of behaviour which as women we seem to accept (she sounded like an abused wife). I relented and said I would speak to him if he come out. He did not. I drove off. Should I report it? I feel really unsettled. Maybe he is under a lot of pressure, will recognise he has crossed the line and will punish himself enough. Or maybe I am being complicit in the bullying?
