Mean boss, workplace harassment, hostile work environmentI’m am now experiencing a major issue with a manager at my part time job. It has a lot do with gossiping, dishonesty, and developing a hostile work environment with an employee. The issue involves another co-worker that I am friends with and my merchandising manager. I was pissed off when I found out that the manager lied on me to my co-worker about something he didn’t see me do. He pulled her aside and said that he saw me on my cell phone in the fitting room and that he would keep an eye on me. If he saw the phone out again, then I’m done. My co worker looked confused and asked why is he explaining this to her and did he tell me about it. He said he did, but he lied and never warned me about anything. He also gives me stares at times while working, and is flirtatious to my co-worker. He’s a back-stabber and will smile in your face like everything is fine. I felt uncomfortable because he’s sharing false accusation about me behind my back to another co-worker, which is very un- professional. He also told lies to other managers about others and myself, so I’m worried about my job right now. I also feel this has alot to do with my hours being reduced, since I work 20 or more hours every week.
Is this a sign of harrassment in the workplace? Should I talk to the head boss or the corporate office about this?

By James Cushing

As everyone knows, the current financial climate is precarious at best, which makes knowing one’s rights under Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Law vital to one’s financial future. Conventional wisdom, which is largely correct, is the following: an employer must pay unemployment compensation taxes for employees and those employees can collect unemployment compensation benefits if separated from employment (presuming, of course, they meet the statutory eligibility requirements). For unemployment [...] Continue Reading…
