Question
My husband thinks his manager at Exxon is harassing him at work I need your opinions please?
My husband has been working for Exxon for 6 months, and during this this time he is always being told by his manager that he is going to be fired any little thing he does she tells him she is going to fire him. She has the worst attitude and talks my husband very rudely with a very bad attitude. She is constantly accusing him of stealing money, because the camera system is so old and static that she cannot she him drop it and no money has ever really came up missing. She said that he didn't iron his shirt hes fired. He first started working there and she told him he could have free fountain drinks so he would get his drink and then she told him she was going to fire him for stealing cups he had no Idea that he could not use a cup for his drinks and no on told him he had to pay for the cup so I offered to pay fo all the cups he used. So I purchased a cup for him to take and she demanded the receipt which he didn't have because I purchased it. So she took him in to watch the video to see if he brought the cup in. He cannot work like this everyday being told something my family needs this job and her threats are really starting to wear us down. Is this ok or is there something a little wrong with the manager. There is more but I am done. If he asks to be transfered to another store can they fire him instead? He is now suspended because he didnt tuck his shirt in he thought it was ok because he was wearing shorts.

I think the best is to call the Managing Director of the business unit, or that office and tell him she's not qualified to do her job because instead of doing it she harasses and demotivates her staff. Don't call HR. They're a bunch of clowns without any balls. They'll keep sitting on their asses.

i would tell your husband to speak with Human Resources. He will probably need to file a complaint against this person. Hopefully, HR can help him through this mess. The only other alternative is to leave the job.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of bosses like this. And I do mean a lot. As far as the drink issue goes - go get a refillable container with a lid and/or straw that he can fill up. Trust me - it helps to have one even off the job. Now as far as the harassing goes - that is a huge thing to consider. Since it is a female doing the harassing it is not likely that his one complaint will be taken seriously. However, this can still be sent to the district and regional managers for notice. Make sure that it is understood that it may still cost him his job if she should find out. Also I would suggest using a temp agency in your area to assist in finding a job. This way here there is a back-up plan. Usually you can get a job from them in a day or two. Most importantly: pray about it. There may be a reason for this. Trust the feelings and pushes that you two are given. If either of you feel the need to stay. Stay. "Why would the devil attack if your going the wrong way?" And if you both feel it's time to go - the door will open and you will both be at peace with it. I've had my share of these bosses, and as a boss I know better now what to do and what not to do. This may be his time of learning. Anyways - good luck and God bless to you both!
