Sunday at work my favorite s/v verbally attacked another s/v and myself at work for apparently no reason that I could tell.

The one she snapped at is super sweet funny kind hard working honest and I do adore her, she makes me laugh.

s/v 1 (the one who verbally attacked s/v 2), then tries to pull aside s/v 2 to explain her behavior.  She claimed it was because of me, but didn’t give her any reason.  We had a talk, I asked her what was wrong, she denied saying what she said and I said if you wsnt to talk let’s talk.  She didn’t want to, so do I go back to work.

Show up to work on Monday and I am told by s/v 2 that s/v 1 said the day before she’s calling corporate on me.

20 minutes into shift get called into office by corporate.  First thing the woman says to me is you’re very photogenic on camera, “Ah ok thanks?”, 2 hours later of nasty time from this woman my job is now pending, and I’ll know in 7 dsys if I’m still employed.  All because, according to her, the pizza place next door uses their work # for the sale price and they should be using their own personal #s.  They’ve been doing this for 7 years, and my former s/v trained me to do this.  I’ve never been written up or told otherwise.

i run the photo dept pretty much, I have fixed the machines, done all the ordering can do a passport with touch in under 5 minutes.  My coworkers cannot even alphabetize the orders and let the queue build up, them get confused and put the wrong pictures in the wrong envelopes.

i never complain, I just fix it when the customers come back.

S/v starts to almost cry when she hears what’s happening and tells me she was upset with me because she thought I like s/v 2 more then her ( I assume because s/v 2 cracks me up).  I told I like her but you’re my ride or die.  Not because she deserves it, because she’s mean to everybody since she transferred to my store, but I know her personal life is very unhappy, and I always forgive her because I know she needs a friend.

now s/v 3 who has gotten at least 5 people to either quit or be fired in the last 5 years smiled
when I came out of the meeting and says “you’ll find another job” and no don’t worry, are you ok?  I know you got last photo girl fired because another s/v confided in my she made an anonymous complaint against her.  I noticed s/v3 always gets anyone who filed complaints against her ends up fired, I have years ago filed 2 against her (she threatened me with her fist when I used a wrong colored trash bag for the outside trash, doing her job I might add), and would scream at me in front of customers if she had to come up front to do an override.  

I really don’t think s/v 1 tried to get me fired, still don’t know if I am, it’s also a new invest company that bought us out, I believe it was s/v 3.  I am considering contacting one of my cousins who is a lawyer obviously.

my Question to DI is what’s your gut telling you happened.  S/v 1 or s/v 3?

Sounds like you have 3 dramaful bitches as supervisors. You're batting 0.00. You need a fresh start.

They are in their 50s, like shouldn’t people be mature by then?

I've found that age doesn't matter in today's world. The pandemic turned half the population into self entitled children.

The job market right now is brutal, my best friend tells me her kids college graduated friends cannot find jobs, my son has been applying for over 2 years and nothing.

i also applied for some jobs as a second job to keep up with this economy and I’ve gotten no replies, plus I’m 60.

The most important thing I ever learned:  “Politics is Everything”. 

Doesn’t matter how hard you work.  

And my first thought when reading?  Jealousy. 

Gotta pay attention to the “office” dynamics. Little cues here and there.

I will say though the corp woman looked at my mgr and said the s/vs will be coming up to do their jobs from now on.  

So at least she saw some bullshit!

This is opinion, right?

You want that... if we actually witnessed this on reality tv, what would be our take?

Honest, detached*.

You are facing someone who may simply enjoy manipulating the workplace, as an expression of self.
Feeble managers often contrive to "use them" because "Why get your hands dirty?"

Any competent director would be alarmed by the attrition rate, and it's "centricities," but then, 'competence' is negotiable with social currency.... (any currency really.)

If you feel that your employment is being threatened however,
if you cherish it, as I suspect you do...

seek council from someone who loves you - even if they are wrong they'll try to help with a clear heart, as they best they can... and sometimes, you might be surprised who can think of a way to address this without unnecessary conflict.  People know people.

You never know who's faced this kind of tangle... but ... to ask a lawyer is to be told you need one.

Also - at least remember that fighting for the truth can be personal, but it is a fight... this might hurt.

*Human interpersonal relationships aside.  I am no arbiter of relationships... and not even really clear on what s/v is supposed to symbolize outside of another person.

I always saw it with a/v #3, who bought a small Coca Cola fridge for the office for the Mgr (she specifically stated so to many of us), she follows him around like a puppy dog, brings him a sandwich everyday, and we’ve all found out from prior pharmacists some of the gaslighting she has done.  One of my coworkers calls her Oompa Loompa.  

I have always tried to show respect and stay out of it, unless I’m personally attacked.  Then I file a complaint with corporate (as well as others, and nothing ever gets done about it).

I despise jealousy and view it as an evil trait that will eventually ruin you from within!

I also believe that anyone who out of jealousy tries to ruin someone else’s life eventually sees it destroy their own!  Karma is law!

Thank you for your input!

What's up with your corporate supervisor saying to you "you’re very photogenic on camera"?
That sounds like something HR might be interested in hearing about.
