my boss called me a retard on facebook

[whatisforteamum]

Last yr i got my self a new job after being treated badly for the last couple of yrs of a previously good 11 yr employment.
I was made welcome and given the chance to learn new things.i asked if my work was good enough and i was told it was.
Over the last few months i worked every shift going despite home stresses such as preg dsis waiting to see if she needed a termination as her unborn child looked v unwell and my df being ill from terminal cancer.
Their were a few niggles at work which included all the team so i wasnt overly worried.
Last week end i went away for a few days and recieved a call from our ds that i was on the rota a day sooner than i understood i was due back.I rang work and was told that as i was 4 hrs away someone would cover.
I apologised as soon as i returned and my manager was totally fine.I have never had this happen in 30 yrs of working.
However my boss said it was ok then proceeded to blank me out for my next 36hrs over 3 days that i worked.Given that we are short staffed i just got on with his bad moods.
i eventually got home tired and went to message him to say i hope his son was ok after he had a call to go home as his son was ill and needed to call an ambulance and i see that he had posted rude comments that other colleagues can see about meand one about how its not fair for him to work with retards ( a word i would never use).
I am mentioning it and more than likely wont stay.Why would i want to work week ends and eves with a bully anymore than i have to.I do feel hurt that someone cant have a meeting face to face than resort to insults on social medis.AIBU ?

Elementarymydear is right.The manager let him go.Im working later however i have lost all respect for him.In a smal place cooped up together for 13 hrs you need a good team spirit.
Comments get made however it is worse when it is written down.They call each other GAY as an insult.I have told ds this is typical of kitchens.He is looking for a proper job.

it's far less clear cut as you give more information OP.

All sounds pretty childish.

I don't understand why the OP is getting a hard time. Def NBU

Well hopefully all is resolved.the chef had to apologise and said the comment didnt mention me specificaly and another comment was banter.The manager and his wife drew up a social media policy asap.All issues were raised including me saying that i can easily find another job and they could just keep the other guy.
The manager pointed out that he wants me to work there and i bring a mature calning influence and always appear way before my start times etc.
Pulled aside and reassurred a stern talking to was given to the man and that the manager would be deeply hurt at any comments made about him.
I then worked and we got on great.I hope this continues .

Thanks for the update. Fingers crossed for a positive future.

the man in question has come back from holiday.and has flipped between civil and hyper critical.He and another guy were discussing how the younger staff are retarded and dont care as the pub isnt their main job as they have school or college.
I dont like this kind of talk so i shall see how things go.The manager is being really supportive.
