Thank you for you letter, unfortunately I do not have dates and times, and all the situations were did on a one on one. I can only promise faithfully of the incidents I was a victim to. 1, On a five hour shift I went and asked the manager for a 10 minute break, to be responded with its not your obligation and I am not obliged to give you a break. Even though on a five hour shift it is law. 2, As explained my dad passed away, my mum text me to say the chimney had caught fire. And she was panicalling. When I asked to leave the manager laughed at me sicastically. 3, I was told because I could not prenounce names, I could only say numbers when announcing a pick. Customers would ask me why don't you say name's, to which I had to reply I been told I can't. 4, I was one of a few who actually did electofix sign ups, the manager told me I mustn't do any more unless I can guarantee they spend money.Because my last four sign ups were rubbish. 5, While bringing down coffee for the team, I was told not to bother to do it again unless I can keep it all in the cups. 6, I went to the loo, I couldn't go because the cleaner was in there, I left the till for less than two minutes.It was still attended. The manager within those two minutes came into the loo to look for me. To tell me to do picks. 7, I cared about takings, I once accepted in TC next day, which I was given the sentence, you not allowed to do that. Only I am allowed to accept in the parcels. 8, I was blamed for messing up the Wearhouse, he claimed it was done of my gun. Well the guns get mixed up. He also said he would talk to all staff, I was singled out wrongly for this. Also I asked all other staff, he never mentioned it to anyone. 9, I was told not to joke with customers. 10, while starting at 6 I went round to the manager 5 times to ask for a break, finally at 11.15 he said I could go. Five and a quter hours into my shift. I was feeling faint, and had to say please I need a break. There is many more incidents I was singled out for. On the 21st I was called in the office, the manager took out all my abstances since 2016 and said my attendance wasn't good enough. Even though he isn't a qualified doctor he was abment that slot of it was side affects from my anxiety. He also claimed there was no justified reason in not coming to work. In 2016 I lost my best friend, my gran and my dad had a stroke. Which isn't a justified reason not to come to work. This is from a manager who puts himself down to work between 8_4 and doesn't turn up leaving us short staffed. A guy who goes out in work hours to get a tyre fixed. My dad died this year. For the record I had to clean out his throat daily as he would choke. I also had to hold his hand during most nights. Because of the two years of stress I have been put on 50g of sertraline, 40g of propanol, and 4g of dizapam. He also stated I hated my job, which was a fake statement, I love working there until the last 6 months when I was singled out. I was also accused of writing negative things about him. The Manager in my opinion had real issues with me, he singled me out as an idiot. I know it's my word against his, but I can only promise faithfully these are things I was put through, or whitnessed. I wish these issues are talked about, and people are not intimidated by him as so many seem to be. Do with this info as you wish, but here are why I gave in my notice. I actually really liked working there, but when you are a receiver of such negatively how can you work like that. For me it made my work environment intorible. The Manager Chris for me made my work life negative and unnerving. I leave Screwfix with a broken heart, and in question of its morals. I will be telling the jobcentre, of my experiences indeed and the shop Union usdw.
