Recently I overheard that a GM had been chatting about another department GM and how they felt it was inappropriate for some person to be in a position of authority and be responsible for some possible theft. Other employees within earshot had overheard parts of the conversation while on the floor, (not in a closed area). This led to concern for some parties involved, causing a huge rift in employee attitude and trust among the other employees!
The bottom line is if you are going to openly chat about your personal thoughts and make it known to fellow employees that their concern about other employees and possible theft, maybe consider moving your open conversation to a more appropriately confined room with fewer bystanders listening to parts of the conversation! So Bad Boss thinks to keep all co-worker conversations confined in closed areas and not out in the open where anyone can hear something and create a possible lawsuit to follow!

Here is the scenario: The owner of the business regularly writes the schedule for most positions; not security but bartenders and barbacks, lighting and DJ's. So the schedule is posted and the bar manager comes in and changes the schedule to fit his needs and ensure his station is the best money making bar station for the night instead of working where the owner scheduled him. This prompts a huge backlash with the staff and the changes cause a huge disruption in the air and attitudes towards everyone including customers.
Lesson: Work where you are scheduled even if you are management!!!
Team Effort: When all members of a team work where they are scheduled, the team workflow goes smooth. Change schedules to fit personal needs causes animosity amongst team players.
Managers: should lead by example and not disruption.

sent to me because of a recent event!

"Years ago, while working at a pizza place, our manager had to leave on a family emergency and left a girl in charge until one of the other shift runners could get there and he lived about 45 minutes away.
