Should I report my manager at work for harment?
I am a cook at a restaurant and have been, what appears to be, hared by my manager. My manager drinks on the job, or comes to work intoxicated. I have smelled it on his breath and fellow employees have caught him drinking with the guests. He also gets very loud and mean when he is drunk. A few weeks ago, he made an insulting comment about me to the other cooks when I was standing within 20 feet of him and heard what he said. I lost my temper and called him out on his drinking problem and gave it right back to him in order to stand up for myself. He threatened to send me home so I remained quiet and continued working. When I came in a few days later my manager had taken a work day off my schedule as punishment for being quote "a wise ***", even though he had made a condescending remark first. The next night, when it was just me and him in the kitchen, he started to scream and me and called me names, such as "....head" and "princess"and even made a remark about being with my mother. He also threatened to pop my tires on my car and told me I don't do anything to help the restaurant, which is borderline laughable seeing as I have been employee of the month and have a great reputation as being a hard worker. I admit, I can be a wise ***, but only when I am in a situation where someone talks about me first in a disparaging manner. I really want to turn him in, but my fellow employees are trying to persuade me not too, since he is the manager and Human Resources are likely to take his word over mine. He is also likely to deny saying anything and I am afraid he will turn around and fire me or cut my hours even more if I complain to HR about his drinking on the job and harment toward me, and nothing gets done about it. Please help!!
