The Reddit article titled “I Don’t Work Here, and a Venomous Manager Tried to Write Me Up for It” shares a frustrating and unfair encounter faced by an individual at a store. Despite clearly stating that they were not an employee when asked for help by a customer, a manager at the store wrongly accused the individual of not doing their job and attempted to write them up for it. The individual recounts feeling targeted and mistreated by the manager’s aggressive behavior.
However, OP tells the manager that he was off-clock and it was not his job to help the customer. Fortunately, the snooty manager leaves the job two months later. The story sheds light on the injustice of being blamed for something that wasn’t their responsibility and the importance of fair treatment and understanding in the workplace.
