Employee Question Advice on reporting bad behavior?
I started working here a little while ago and over the time I've been here I've noticed some disappointing behavior. Some of it is just little stuff, such as these few examples.
During my first week I obviously didn't know where the extra sauces were kept to refill the containers in front, so I was checking the cabinets around the set. I went to open one and one of the managers working there didn't bother to move or even acknowledge me despite me asking where they were and if this was the right one. He literally ignored me. So finally when I went to check another one he said in a snarky voice, "That's why I wasn't moving," which I thought was completely uncalled for.
Other stuff is the attitude from another assistant manager who knew I was still new and would tell me to do something. When I asked how or where whatever something was or how it was to be done she'd just make an exaggerated sigh, look really pissed off and then stomp away to show me where whatever it was I was supposed to get or do or whatever. She wouldn't even show me how to do whatever it was she told me to do. She'd just put me on it.
Another time she sent me to break down a cardboard box and put it on a rack above the trash in the back. So I went and did it, which only took a second. I was not even gone for 15 seconds when I was walking back and heard her say to someone, "Can you do this since (my name) is taking his sweet ass time?" When she realized I heard her she just played it off like, "Haha, no offense dude."
This particular manager also has a habit of just sending people she doesn't like at the moment away, even if there's nothing for them to do in the place she sends them, purely because she doesn't want them around. An example of this is when she sent me to show the new old man they hired how to do the dishes. Except when we got back there I said, "Oh, this (other employee) is here. She's a better teacher than me." So I asked her to show him and she was happy to, so I went back to the front to do what I was doing before. But when that manager saw me I told her what happened and she looked and said, "Uhh, I still see dishes, so get back there. Alright, bye-bye." The thing is there were almost no dishes and definitely not enough for three people to be needed on it.
This also brings me to my next complaint, which is hearing how they talk behind people's backs. When it was just about me I obviously didn't know much of it since it wasn't around me. But since they hired this old guy they have done nothing but shit-talk him and another old guy behind their backs. One of them is a heavier guy who they constantly refer to as "fat ass" when he's not around. The elderly guy is kinda talkative, but he's friendly and doesn't mean to cause any issues. Despite this they constantly shit-talk him.
The worst part is the GMs here actually take part in it. One of the GMs sent him to the kitchen and when he was out of earshot she made the hand-talking motion and said, "He never shuts the fuck up," among other things.
I could go on and on, and I'm sorry about the rant but I don't want this to get even longer.
So my question is, is it possible to report this behavior? I can't really go to any of the managers here because, like I said, all of them take part in it. I can't go above them to the GMs because they also take part in it. I usually am one to ignore stuff if it's against me, but I absolutely can't stand hearing and seeing the shitty behavior they have towards or about other people.
