Hey all
My partner has worked at the same place for about 4 and a half years, she quickly became a manager on her department after about 12 months and since then has been running the ship.
Her supervising manager also happens to be the bosses (business owner) daughter.
Since her bosses daughter got the roll their relationship has been rocky, but most of it is because of the way she treats my partner. Also there is some "you wouldn't get a job anywhere else, you untrained monkey".
Anyway, not last weekend, but the one before they had a staff member leave and was moving back home, my partner and some of the staff went out for drinks, while the bosses daughter didn't get an invite.
She then my partner has been getting pulled up for things that aren't happening.
Last Friday she had a meeting and was given a letter of concern for the following reasons:
1) one of her staff members jokingly said "I can't go down there, I'm scared of XZY" and he laughed. In the meeting it was made out like she was this big scary thing, the staff member has since gone to upper manager about this but was told to take it up with someone else.
2) She told a staff member that he had to stay by the door, which he had to let customers out after hours, he was busy chatting with others.
The bosses daughter said in the meeting that the way she said it in front of customers was rude and brought shame on the business, there were no customers in the area. The bosses daughter was the only other person in the area.
Today she was told that tomorrow she has a 4pm meeting where she would be given a written warning over the way she spoke to the bosses daughter. It was because after being told that the bosses daughter cannot do something because she's busy and has a lot of work, my partner said, yep, of cause you do".
Now no other staff members were around, in the letter today it states that she will be making all calls on it and she cannot talk about it with other staff members.
The bosses daughter is also in charge of issuing her, her $3500 bonus every 3 months, this bonus is earned by getting to work at 7am, leaving well after 6pm most days, never taking lunch and when she was made manager not getting a pay rise.
We need advise because her bosses daughter wants her gone and it seems like she's going to win.
