Work in retail and this company 9 years. Have had about 5 bosses over the years and this one has been with us about 6 weeks.
He's odd. Very odd. Seems to have no personal skills at all.
One team meeting he singled out one young male and said the phrases:
good looking lad like you
bet you have a girl in every town
I bet you have one of those things you use at the meat counter, pull a number off and pick that girl for the night
My daughter asked if there was any got lads here
Poor lad was going redder by the second
He also said about the HR woman 'My beautiful assistant that works for ME"
He's gone through all our lockers with us individually and made us throw anything unwanted. He asked me if any of the coats or any other items on the books or benches were mine and I said no, I don't use the locker room. Asked me where I keep my personal belongings and I told him I keep them in my car. Seemed to think I was lying from the look he gave me
We've had to do training for GDPR and wanted to know who hadn't completed it. There was a small number and one of them is off sick as he's had an ok. He's adamant that he completed this at home and has demanding he does it. The blokes just had an operation ffs
Latest one is the Xmas party. Took his daughter who works elsewhere and didn't know anyone. Then they share a hotel room together. She's about 18. I find that really odd
He's banging on now that we have a summer bbq and a Xmas party every year
He will pay us to attend. Only this is hours taken from our weekly Rota. And we have to attend. I hate the works party I don't attend as I have an ear issue and can't stand loud noises as they make me dizzy, trigger bad tinnitus and give me severe migraines. He's actually said he's going to hire a field and marquee for the bbq
He was trying to "role pay" with a member of staff on a scenario and actually told her to shut up as he was trying to speak. I was gobsmacked at how rude he was to her. She wasn't being rude, she was asking questions that help us formulate a decision to best help a customer
He used the company approved messaging app to ask questions and if nobody answers him he says 'thanks for the seller's then adds a stupid gif to show he's pissed off.
I hate him. I think he's a compete prick, and I'm not the only one
Am I unreasonable to keep a log of his inappropriate comments and behaviour. Can he actually enforce this party crap? Am I not going to get paid if I don't attend as he's docking it out of my hours? Nothing in contract about having to attend parties
What the fuck do I do????
