Item is always left in an area an employee shouldn't be.  At times the employee acts really strange.!!!!

Was anything ever signed at anytime explaining their rights to do that? If not, then NO! They have no right to get into an employees personal belongings. \n\nIs there an HR department or a higher person this can be taken to? \n\nA few years ago I got very sick at work. My face was very pale, my pupils were dialated and I was sweating, the medics came, thought I had a stroke, it was low blood sugar, but that was not good enough for my supervisor, she went through my desk while I was gone, someone said that she was thinking that I was on drugs. I turned her in and HR said that she HAD NO RIGHT to do that and she got repremanded very much for it. I was taken in and drug tested but everything turned out fine. \n\nThat is personal property and if you did not sign anything saying they can search you at anytime, then it is not their right, they do not have permission to do that. That is why you sign papers. You give them authorization to do this or that. Make the manager show you the paper giving them permission to do that. \n\nThat's odd, hoped it helped

I don't think she'll get in trouble. It was incredibly stupid to bolt the dish on the TV. I would have laughed! Reminds me of the woman who was told that 2 bricks in the toilet conserved water, and got mad when the toilet overflowed. Guess nobody told her that the bricks went in the tank...ooops! Anyway, the boss may want to point out the importance of making sure the mute button is on in the future, but he probably thinks it was silly also.

hmmmm....\n1) some retail staff are being trained to 'hard sell' their products, as they have a daily target to meet.\n2) when products are lost, the retail staff have to compensate for it.\n\nhence they tend to be over- vigilant towards their customers.\n\nhowever, i believe that this 'trend', that you highlighted, is outdated. usually, every retail store has its training program on 'good customer service'.\nadmittedly, some customers prefer to be left alone while they browse around. so, it takes practice for the retail staff to 'analyse' what type of service their indivdual customers prefer.\n\nas for me, the training i include for my staff is to always greet the customers, & stand aside, & be watchful of the customers, in case they need assistance. if the customers are chatty, then continue with the conversations. otherwise, stand aside & observe.

you have the right idea, but wrong legal concept.  It could be considered sexual harassment, but more likely, "a hostile work environment."  \n\nConsider this:  Never never never underestimate the pettiness of management.

First, You're not being petty, but realistic. That is the way life is. Rank has it's privileges. Second, it starts with the parking spot, then moves on to something else. The parking spot stealing is not the problem but rather a symptom of some issues the young lady has with something or someone. Last, congratulations for having an employer that looks out for his long term employees. Your employer could of said work it out yourselves and then sat back and watched as the battle raged on.

The policy will vary between companies as it is likely a disciplinary offence.\n\nBest bet is to go and ask for the manager and make a formal complaint.  He doesn't need the hassle but make it clear if he doesn't get it sorted you will write to head office.

Having worked in a strict environment, the store I worked, had a special stock rack in storage.  When there were enough of a similar item, it was repackaged and sent back to the manufacturer, for either a replacement or a refund.  That is why you see a lot of RA #'s (Return Authorization Numbers) on a lot of packages shipped through UPS and Federal Express.  No store that has good ethics will resell a product, that is even in suspect condition, they will always send it back....

You should look into filing a lawsuit at least against him, but possibly against the company for letting it go on. They have clearly not made an effective effort to make a livable work environment for you. Contact a local lawyer.

If you have an anonymous system for employee complaints, then use it to bring this to their attention. This kind of stuff isn't conducive to a healthy workplace, I would think someone in upper management would want to know. However, if you are working in a smaller company, you will have to decide if you feel its safe to speak up or not. \n\nNo, its not normal.

Not bad at all where I work, but then again almost all our bosses are totally cool. But I've been places where people flat out tell their boss "F--k You", and nothing happens to them. Weird....

A burgler wants to get in, grab stuff as quickly as possible and then get out.  They generally won't ransack the place unless it's part of the search. The last thing they want is to be discovered, so it's quick quick quick, grab something of value, (enough to get a fix usually) and then get out.\n\nI can't rule it out but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual in the behaviour you describe.

interesting point.  although, if i have a problem with merchandise, i don't expect anyone to work overtime to fix it.  get to it when you get back or pass it on.\n\nmaybe it's the human desire to have things that are pleasing to them and in turn they themselves want to please others???

Good point!!! Because just like the real world, this isn't the perfect place. People are always sticking things where they shouldn't.  Irritating isn't it?

Never in a million years would I leave it wherever it was when I finished unloading it.  My father taught me better than that.  If it's a place where you have to put a quarter in to take a cart out, I find someone to give it to and I don't let them give me their quarter.  Otherwise I usually drop it in the buggy holder, and I'll take an abandoned one along with me if it's nearby.

Looks like the manager has a history of sexually harrassing female employees. I'd give this one a pass, but if it happens again in any form, report him.

sounds new to me. but people are changing the way they operate business. maybe u should consult a your manager about this sitaution

What a jerk. Ignore him. If he persists then try to explain the meaning of the word harrassment. If he was a work colleague he would be facing dismissal for this behaviour (or you could sue the company for failing to protect you from his harrassment).\nDon't let him get you down.
