When the Tables Turn
I worked for a bank at their call center as a workforce admin. We had a supervisor with a higher-than-normal personnel rotation. People would be doing OK, then suddenly their numbers would drop and quit.
In one of those, the guy quitting made a big f*cking scene called him out, insulted him, pushed him around and ended up being restrained by other coworkers.
At the HR meeting, the supervisor is going off on this guy, bringing up every single thing the guy did wrong. He was boasting a bit too about how he had to fix all of this dude’s mistakes.
The entire time, the guy sat silent, said nothing, and just stared at whoever asked him something. When the HR rep asked if he had anything to add, he pulled out a tape recorder, and just… played recording after recording. Of what you ask? Of the supervisor literally threatening the guy. Harassing him, belittling him, and overall being a complete a**h*le.
Apparently, this guy would target overperforming agents and make their working environment h*ll, to protect his position.
I’m told the supervisor simply stared at his feet and nodded when told he was fired. The agent, as I understand it, was also let go, but very well compensated.
