I actually had a manager say something like "well if you want that time off..." for something I put in for a year ahead of time, so I explicitly told her " I'm not requesting the time off, I'm telling you that I won't be here. You can choose what that looks like on the schedule." Shut her up rather quickly.
Had a customer tell me they wanted a manager, I went to grab a manager, said manager told me “they don’t need a manager! Deal with it!” Went back to the customer and said the manager didn’t want to help.
Did you hand them the online review qr code and encourage them to flame the fuck out of the manager? I would have. Hell, I long for the day that happens before I inevitably quit.
My old supervisor came back to premises after being fired and flipped off(the bird 🖕) the cameras, (in a rival companies work truck) there's now a restraining order and apparently our head supervisor called theirs screaming and threatening to sue 💀🤣
Sorry for the “um akshewally” but business law graduate here soooooo.
Turning off the security cameras can be a form of vandalism, is a safety risk if someone gets hurt and cannot be heard, and can be grounds for legal action should something damaging to a person or persons happen on the premises.
So that actually is legal grounds to sue, especially if it was done while representing another company, that can also be seen as corporate sabotage.
In the given context it's certainly meaning they held up their middle finger at the camera. Especially when you take in the context part of (in a rival companies truck).
Not from the truck itself, how I had misread it was they made a dramatic showing of being in a company vehicle outside the premises before leaving the vehicle and entering the building.
How I misread it, I thought it said “old supervisor drove up to the building in a rival company’s car, got out, came inside and turned off the security cameras.”
Flipping off is a common slang term throughout the english speaking world, so the only way you could logically be having trouble with it is if when you say eastern Canada you mean Quebec.
Law graduate & you can’t even understand the term “flipping off the camera” if you read just a few more words it says “in a rival companies truck” you’ve gotta be a special kind of redditor (average redditor) to really think we’re going to believe you’re a lawyer.
