  • Co-worker received 2 write ups

    My co-worker works part-time at a parking garage that is managed by our immediate supervisor. A dept. store owns the parking garage, & from what my co-worker has said, that company does not have any money to pay for the much needed repairs.

    Both incidents happened last Monday.

    First incident:
    Happened between 9 p.m. & 9:30 p.m. He was inside the booth listening to his i pod & singing out loud. When he sings, he makes gestures with his hands. Apparently someone from the dept. store management saw him from severalfeet away doing this & felt threatened. So that person complained to upper management at the parking company we both work for. Our immediate supervisor wrote him up. He showed me the write up even though technically he is not supposed to. The write up indicated that the employee was seen shouting making pointing movements in the air with his hands. The employee who saw him felt threatened.

    Second incident:
    Happened at 10:30 p.m. Apparently the fire alarm at the parking garage is activated when the exit gate will not properly close. Our immediate supervisor is aware of this, but the dept. store that owns the parking garage does not have the money to fix the problem. So the fire alarm was activated at 10:30 p.m. because the exit gate would not close. The city fire dept. responded to the alarm, but my co-worker did not call my supervisor at that time.

    He still works there.

    Okay, the first guy's just an idiot... Plain and simple. The second thing... 10:30 at night... Who wants to be called at that hour, for one? Damned if you do, damned if you don't at that hour. Plus... Okay, as an example, hour fire alarm kept going off today. Scared the bejeebus out of me EVERY TIME it went off and I literally went "AAH!" nearly every time. Calling a supervisor would not be a priority at that moment because first priority will be handling the fire department.
    Look, a signature!

    If every cashier in the world went on strike, retail would come to a screeching halt, even if for a couple hours.

      first story - regardless of "threatening" gestures... I would think that dancing around singing in itself could get someone in trouble unless it's something that's allowed at work.

      second - i say, fuck it. give the supervisor what he wants. call him. every time. even if it goes off at 0200. After all it's what he wanted.

      And if he tries to punish, produce a copy of the "story 2 writeup" and show that he was just obeying orders.
