I am dyslexic and have been managing it fine until this vile nasty piece of work called my store manager took over the role in the spring.
He has said to me that I am underperforming. I said do you know that I have dyslexia? He completely disregarded this. Said I’m making up excuses.
Then there is a colleague who is registered blind. He’s not totally blind.
He is a very hard worker. He actually rotates dates, unlike the store manager who puts out delivery on the front and never does the overstock first. Seen it myself and if anyone sees the CCTV footage, the evidence is there!
My role as code checker myself and other code checkers have wasted time in putting stock on the shelves/chillers in date order due to the store manager not doing delivery correctly. He barked at me for why do I have an overstock roller out! The new staff just put new stock in front of old. Never been trained or given advice. SM just pulls out a roll cage and barks at them “put this stock out”
Myself, the colleague above and a couple of others with disabilities have raised grievances against him following advice from the union and ACAS. It didn’t go any further. As the upper management see this SM is perfect and does nothing wrong. Absolute BS! He has made every colleague upset for many things. Plus his previous stores he has managed he has made many staff leave and this has been the case at my store.
Why do head office think the SM is perfect? When he’s the worst ever store manager the store has had and also a few colleagues have worked in other stores previously and it’s their worst manager as well?
Well there’s a 95% chance that I will leave as the new code checking times will be in place soon and I can’t do the late evening finishes at 10pm as that will be detrimental towards my mental health. I am a morning person and tried everything on days off to wake up later but no - always 6:10am, regardless of what time I go to bed.
What can myself and other colleagues do to get head office and the upper management to listen to us seriously and make them aware he is a bully and ignores the law and processes?
