I want to know what you think of this situation.
There is a 65 year co-worker, I will call her S, that has been working for the company for 25 years. She is a supervisor and basically deals with the book keeping and making sure all associates files have up to date and correct information. She works 5 days a week with the same morning shift because that is the time we need to start the book keeping. It has been this way for the 9 years she has worked at this store.
When I first started almost 7 years ago she taught me most of what I know. She was also a key holder but many managers later she was asked to step down from that because she didn't close the store and they needed to give it to somebody else that would close the store. So now she is one of the 5 supervisors in the store.
Now I have two co-workers (also supervisors) that think S needs to close the store two nights a week like the rest of us. I say no she doesn't cause the rest of us are supervisors of floor departments and she is needed for the morning book keeping. Plus she is 65 with health problems and cleaning up a messy store would take her a long time.
But these two co-workers are quite cruel about it. They say that they don't care how old she is and what is wrong with her. She should close two nights a week like the rest of us. They also think she takes too long to finish the book keeping. OK now these two associates are not trained for the book keeping and I am so I know that sometimes it takes longer then expected to finish counting tills and setting up new ones.
These two co-workers just verbally beat up S all the time that it makes me mad.
S had open heart surgery 10 years ago and her other health problems make her walk a little slower than the rest of us. And her sister has breast cancer and that stresses her out and makes her look even more tired. But she can and still does her job correctly.
The other day she was doing some floor work because she was done with her office work and the manager told her that could wheel the fixture she was working on to the office and sit down while working on it and my co-worker flipped out about it to me. She went on to say that S is getting special treatment and that is age discrimination. And that it is not her fault S made bad decisions in life. (she means the fact that S can't retire yet and that she didn't pick a better job years ago
)
I would be interested in what you all think.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
