Beloved Manager Gets Fired On False Accusations, The Whole Team Sees Through It And Walks Out

Redditor PladBaer, husband to a woman who was recently fired from her job as a store manager for a beauty supply chain, turned to the Antiwork community to share her story. “My wife got terminated at 1:00pm Central daylight time. They claimed that she was stealing time when she corrected her and her employees’ missed time clock punches.”

According to the author, his wife was a model employee who had not only “successfully taken bottom 10 stores and made them number one” but also “has never taken a vacation, has run multiple stores at once as a direct manager, and has trained probably the better part of 65% of the retail employees in this region of the country.”

So imagine the shock when one day, the company received an anonymous tip about her ill behavior. Not only was she stealing time, according to the complaint, it was also mentioned that some of the employees were “hooking up and spending time in the back room.”

After the company took these accusations seriously, little did it know how it would resonate with the entire team. Scroll down for the full story below.

“It’s clear that the manager was well-liked, and her fellow employees felt enough solidarity to walk out when she unjustly got fired,” Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed career coach and serial entrepreneur commented about this incident.

According to Mitterbauer, “it shows that most people value things like camaraderie, sticking up for one another, over a simple paycheck.”

“Let this be a lesson to the business owners, for making hasty and ill-informed decisions,” the career coach concluded.

This OP has no clue whatsoever about the meaning of "nepotism".

heh. BP left out the first edit that addresses this (and also makes OP less likable): "I don't care if you don't think this is real. I have no reason to lie on the internet, I don't give a f*ck about your stupid fake internet points. I just thought it was really cool that my wife did such a good job that her termination lead to six resignations. Not everyone can say that and I'm proud of her. Nepotism includes friends. I failed to mention the DM and new store manager were friends because I had rewritten a sections and mistakenly left that out. So stop with the "ThIs IsNt NePoTiSm" remarks. If you can use reddit you can use google. Jesus christ. And finally, this is r/antiwork. You'd think you guys would be stoked to see some real solidarity in action. But instead it seems like half of the comments wandered in here from r/liberal or r/conservative. If you don't like workers finally standing up for themselves, f*ck off to a sub more aligned with your proclivities."

No paid maternity leave?!? And only 6 weeks?!? Where the hell do you live?

That's... pretty standard in the United States. Heck, that might even be considered generous, given most retail jobs wouldn't even give you 6 weeks. (Note: I disagree firmly with this, and believe that maternal and paternal leave should be paid, but to Americans, this is sadly really common.)

Americans are used to being serfs and seem content with crumbs while titans of industry rake in billions off their labor. Americans are basically insular people with little knowledge of countries beyond our borders. Corporations and politicians conspire to ensure public education does not enlighten them or their children.

Got canned from a job because DM took a previous employee at his work concerning his sales when he had my position compared to mine. All he had to do was check the P&L statements and he would've seen that mine were almost double of the former person. Didn't much matter to me, I was already thinking of switching to a competitor anyway. The DM had the gall to tell me I wasn't allowed to contact or talk to any of my customers. I let him know real quick that 1) I was actually related to some of them and 2) have known most of them longer that his company has even been in business. 75% of the business moved with me. Former employee didn't last long. That was in '08 and they're still suffering the loss of those customers even though I'm no longer in that line of work. The DM got busted down to store level not long after his big mistake. Lesson here is, don't p**s off customers in a small town.
