I think i'm being set up to lose my job..what should i do??

Question

I've had really bad luck with jobs lately, and i thought i finally found one that i could stick with..but i guess i was wrong. I started at this job 4 or 5 weeks ago, and i really enjoyed it a lot, i love all of my co-workers with an exception of my boss/manager. (well i thought i liked her up until now) it seems like shes been setting me up to get me in trouble or something.

Well i work in a clothing store, and there are security tags on all the clothes. the other night she pulled out 4 or 5 security sensors out of a sweatshirt pocket, and yelled at me saying i wasnt paying attention and was letting people steal. The thing is, i SAW her put those sensors in the pocket before she came up to holding them. i thought she was up to something and being weird, so i was watching her but apparently she didnt notice this. she wrote me up for "not doing my job and not paying attention to people trying to steal"

The next day, we were making the schedule and i told her i was not available on thursday nights. well next thing i know, she had me on to work on thursday night. so i reminded her 3 or 4 times with a week that it needed to be changed. she never did it, and then accused me or never telling her that i wasnt available on thursdays. again, she wrote me up for stressing her out with "last minute schedule changes". (even though it wasnt last minute- she just didnt listen the first time.)

I cant afford to lose my job right now, im in the process of looking for a better one, but until that happens i need this one. i feel like this is so unfair, especially since i havent done anything wrong, i always try my hardest, i make a lot of sales and im good with customers. i never did anything wrong to my boss, never snapped at her, disobeyed her, or anything like that. i dont know what i should do

Answer 1

What you need to do is talk to her manager....there is one..it would be the person when they come in your boss starts freaking out and suddenly doing her job

Answer 2

Sad to say, when they make it clear they are out to get you, you need to get out as soon as you can before they do worse to you....

Answer 3

simple, get back on her case... get evidence of her doing something and have her busted for it.

and ensure that ANY communication with her relating to hours or anything else significant is written on paper and where possible, have her sign two copies; give her one, and keep one yourself.

Answer 4

Yep, you're being set up to be fired within the probationary period...since you're a new hire and she's a veteran supervisor you can't win...even if you had video camera proof (which if you did have, management would just say where did you get the time to do that and if you can get the goods on 'her' then you are a danger to 'them' as well).

Start an immediate and SERIOUS job search and quit as soon as possible...even if you could save your job, she will NEVER let you have a moment's peace and your life will be miserable.

Answer 5

Go to her superiors and tell them the situation and ask if they could keep an eye on her. If you see stuff like the tag happen again, bust out your camera phone and take a video of it. Next time you do the work schedule have someone else there too. So when she freaks out on you for it, there'll be a witness.

Answer 6

There must be SOME reason she is down on you.  But legally that doesn't matter - she can fire you even with NO reason.  It does sound like you are going to get fired.  Good luck with finding another job before that happens.

Answer 7

Sorry.......get another job...........suck it up and move on
