JulieC,
Please re-read your previous posts:
But this guy wants to have the control and he thinks he is the boss and he is just like me, we both have the same manager. Anyway this guy has the MACHO attidude and I am a threat to him because he does'nt have the control with me.
My question is, How do i go about getting IMMIGRATION involved with this place where i work and get this ILLEGAL PICE OF **** OUT OF THIS PLACE ? I was born here iI am a white single mother.
This Mexican guy has to go . Iwill make sure of it.
JulieC,
Has the manager given this individual more control than you have? Obviously you're the one that feels threatened and claim he has a MACHO attitude. Maybe he has been given more of a lead-man type of postion and you resent it.
Maybe you are the one that is wanting to have more control and he has a stronger, take-charge personality than you. As stated before, he locked the beer up early on Fourth of July. That's quite unusual. Why? Was he the only one issued a key? If not, then why didn't you unlock it? Explain, please. Something doesn't make sense.
How do you know for certain he's illegal? Do you also work in the Human Resources Dept.? Can you prove this? Does your manager know?
He's on a mission to get rid of you? And you're on a mission to get rid of him though you say you've never done anything to him. Possibly you haven't but there's been a rift between the two of you and more so than you're telling.
Don't make out like you're totally innocent because under normal everyday circumstances we're not 100% innocent. We all have our own faults of which we hate having to acknowledge much less disclose.
You're a white single mother. I pride you on a being a mother that wants to provide for her herself and her child. So do many others of all races and nationalities. You're being white only reeks of your feelings of superiority. Some sort of 'superior attitude' here, no? Superior vs Macho? Oooh, what a deadly combination, aye!
You've been given a lot of good advice in regard to your complaints. If they are so solid, then you shouldn't have any problem finding a solution. You found your way onto this website. As Hudson previously stated, you can use email and contact the corporate office.
Let me open your eyes to something. If any authorities or other problems arise at your place of work, your manager is most likely going to resent it. You've already said he won't do anything. So now, you're on a mission to take control of the situation.
You've got several options. But first I think I'd consider that I've been a loyal employee and that I'm single mother and still need to work.
People talk and you've most likely been vocal about this. Stir up dust and down the line the co-workers won't want to own up to any blame of having anything to do with your game plan. You're the one that is going to get blamed. It was your idea is what they'll say. Somebody will tell the other co-worker, he/she will tell a customer, somebody is going to rat you out to keep it off their back.
All we hear is your side of the story. If you feel you're worthy of having more control then why don't you handle this in a mature, managerial type of manner instead of being vindictive?
Speak with they guy about this. Ask him what you're doing that causes him to treat you as he does? Ask what you can different. Tell him you're not arguing nor trying to fight him. You're not kow-towing to him by doing this. You're being adult and professional. Try it. Guess what? It might bring about a different type of working relationship between the two of you.
If you can't do this, then you don't need to have any control nor do I think you'd fair well in any lead-man or supervisory position. I wouldn't want you working for me because it's obvious you'd bring me problems that I wouldn't want. If I didn't react to complaints it would mean that I don't want to deal with it. Leave it alone. It means drop it right there.
The object is to keep the store operating in a friendly manner and keep customers happy and returning. Focus on your job and your duties and not watching what others are doing. That's the best way to keep your job. When you're watching others, then you're not paying attention to your own work. It can be done. I know. I've had to do it myself regardless of what my environment threw at me.
I think this is what your manager would want. If he sees that you're going to bring him problems (albeit as real as they may be) he is going to view 'you as a problem' and most likely inform you one day that you will no longer be with the store.
And your child? How are you going to explain that you wanted to get rid of somebody so desperately and it backfired on you? I guarantee you it will. Rethink your motives, please.
