Do you think I should mention this when leaving my job?
-
I have been at my job for a couple of years, and I am the sole full-time worker at the retail location that I work at. I'm leaving soon, due to lots of issues. I work inside of a secured area within a very large airport, where we have 8 different store locations and many employees at each location. For the two years that I have been there, employees have struggled with getting their lunch breaks and particularly bathroom breaks, like any common person has the right to. I live in an at-will employment state, which also does not regulate lunch breaks. However, leaving employees to work along for 6 to 8 hours per day is ridiculous. They don't seem to think so. It's bad for the kidneys. It is a very dusty area, employees complain of throat problems and get sick a lot, with 300,000 people bringing germs through from all over the world each day. I've told HR all of this and the company knows already. Other employees seem scared to speak. I have been "accused" of a lot of ridiculous things. A coworker left her number under my register a couple of months ago (we sometimes have to share registers because they always have issues with one that isn't working or the computer burns out once a month). So I essentially processed a return "under her name" accidentally. They made it into this big issue, accused me of "forgery" and all sorts of other garbage. Others have done the same thing under my number (while I was present and working, with my register up and I was still there in the store) and nobody said anything to those people. At the same time, the assistant manager made up this lie about me saying that I was going to sue the company and that they would "pay for me legal fees". He told the store manager that lie when she came in to work one day, and she believed him, and the two of them became "witnesses". She sat there and stared me in the face during a meeting with the area manager, her and myself, and acted like I was lying when I said I didn't tell him or her that. While cleaning a couple of months ago, I found an email next to the register. It was printed with her name on it, from her manager's email inbox...and it was to the area and regional manager. It basically says that "when she came in to work on x day, the assistant manager (his name is listed) told her that I said this and that". So basically, she lied. I have documented proof of it. Since I found it and it pertains to my situation and shows unfairness, I feel that I should at least mention it to the area and regional manager and tell them that I know they lied about me and show them what I found. I have plans to give notice (10 business days) soon, having already obtained another job within the same airport working overnight, which I will get my airport badge for tomorrow and be starting fairly soon. I'm angry at my current job, but I plan on being professional in my resignation letter...thanking them for the opportunity to work there, and also simply and politely stating that I have accepted another position that has advancement opportunities. That has it's story in itself...6 months ago, at my 1.5 year mark, I wrote a letter to the area and regional managers. My store manager had trained me to be a Team Lead for several months before I wrote that letter, and I had been doing manager duties of checking in Inventory from corporate, opening and closing the store alone (I'm a keyholder with my own alarm code and such), etc. We had a meeting with the store manager, area manager, regional manager and myself. I got turned down for that promotion. Other new employees who have been there for only half as long as me are already assistant manager. The assistant manager at the area manager's store is literally lying to customers about what products can do. They told that guy to come talk to us in a "training meeting" a while back and he proudly said that he tells them this and that, even if it's not true about the product. He gets promoted anyway and is on his way to store manager. Should I exit quietly, or am I correct to make a big deal of this on my way out? My overnight job is a part-time job, so I'm seeking a second job soon to work early morning to early afternoon hours...which would be a second reference for any future employer to call, since I would have two new jobs.

Answer:
Technically, a prior employer, only needs to give your job title, dates you worked there and duties. But if I were you, I'd exit professionally and quietly. Sometime down the road when you have a permanent job at a place you love, THEN all this should be reported. I would go as high up the chain of command as possible to let the CEOs know what is going on. They are treating employees abominably. Maybe OSHA should be contacted also.
