Should I report my boss?

Most large companies have a hotline that you can anonymously speak to someone. Hopefully your company has this. If so, call them ASAP. If not, you may want to have a talk with your supervisor's supervisor. Say something like, "I was worried about Susy yesterday....she went to the bank and was gone for a very long time. Do you know if she was alright". Drop it and leave it there. Good luck to you

If you know about it - and you are not reporting it - you are at fault too. If it were to come up (say somebody else turns her in) and you are asked if you knew about it - what will you say? Turn her in.

Absolutely report her. Most companies allow you to do this annonymously, so be careful not to give her clues that you reported her if you do.

That's the same as steeling. Report her or have someone else do it. Watch your back.

Managers and upper level staff are often on salary...so the actual time doesn't really "matter". I'm hoping she's planning on making it up or somethign later in her schedule, though.

REPORT HER

It sounds like she is taking advantage of her authority. I would suggest reporting her for getting paid for nothing.

You should report her, but be careful about it. Is she close to the district manager? Will the district manager believe her over you? If so you might have a problem. The bottom line is though, someone needs to know. What's she's doing is essentially stealing from the company.

While you are right about this, there is nothing worse in the workplace than a snitch that no one can trust.
If she is not actually stealing money(even though what she is doing is a form of stealing) MYOB

It depends. Do you know the owner of the shop? Is your boss the owner? If your boss is the owner, I guess it is her perogative to come and go as she pleases, but if she is leaving you alone in the store it is a safety issue. If she is not the owner, you should report her to the franchise owner, if you know who that is.

If you feel like you should report her,.. talk to her about it before doing so,... tell her how everyone feels, and that your not trying to be mean about it and just tell her that it really is not fair(cuz it really isnt) and tell her you dont want to have to report her but if she doesnt stop you will & doing so would be the right thing to do and would get it off your back about knowing what shes doing and would make everyone feel better.

do you really want her to get fired for what she is doing? She is the manager after all, and she did earn the right to walk all over you guys.

britt,

I agree that the situation is grossly unfair, and that your manager needs to either straighten up or HER boss needs to know what's going on.

Thing is, if you report her, the burden to provide proof to HER boss falls on you. Can you prove her absence, whether by video or otherwise?

If not, then it becomes a 'her word against yours' situation.

HELL YES...THEY'D FIRE YOUR BUTT IF YOU DID IT...

Daniel

just do it.

Harmony Alexis

YES that is not fair at all. If u dont want to "tattle tale" just confront her the next time she does this. Say that u wont cover for her or better yet when she leaves try to get someone higher then her to come in and see that she is gone.

Princess

That is not fair! Is she hourly or salary where she does not have to clock out? I honestly would report your boss b/c she is no better than you!

I wwould report her but do anaimous.

Pres

I know ur afraid to get in trouble..but it might be best if u all can agree to come forward and tell whats going on. document when she leaves and when she comes back. I would be careful cause if she doesn't get in trouble she might try to get back at u.

This is wrong and immoral.

However you mentioned that your manager has a family, even though she should be the one enforcing the rules, she is not.

So maybe you should give her a (one-time) sit her down and let her know how you feel, tell her that this should not be going on.

If she still persists then report her, especially because it is a big insult to be working so hard and knowing that someone is working less than you and being paid more.

Miranda

Most managers are salaried. So technically it doesn't really matter if she's timed in or not. As long as she is really working the required amount of hours, then there is technically no problem to report. Make notes of the suspicious activity, and if you feel you have to report it, then do so discreetly.

report her anonymously

Yes, but prepare yourself for the consequences. You could end up the one who gets screwed, sometimes life and business work like that.

T D

drop dimes on her, y should she get special treatment?!

DennistheMenace

If you did your job, had time to run errands, and got paid for it....would you?

Vick

yes, report it, do it anonymous....she's very abusive

Tink

Most companies have an "open door" policy where you "should" be able to discuss sensitive matters without repercussions. You may want to talk to your HR manager and if there is a 800 anonymous line, use it!

Denise.

YES!!!!!!! its not fdair 4 the rest of u

gcdude

yeah. lol

wingshooter08

nope, butt out!

Ge1st

secretely tell the vitamin establishment and you might get her managerly job. Or...

Black mail her. Tell her to give you a higher position, say, supervisor ;).

Or if you have a heart, tell her how you feel.
