What can I do about workplace bullying?

So I done my trial at McDonalds and luckily enough, I got the job. The person that was training me on my trial didn’t really help at all and then on the next again day I got told she was talking about me and saying I didn’t even want to work and that I was lazy and was a b*tch but I’m not. I was on my feet for the whole trial, too.

I tried my very best. It was really confusing cause’ the tills are very confusing to work and I didn’t know we had to shout the the non-chicken products and it’s not like I’m going to know everything about the job straight away! She didn’t help at all. I asked her but all she done was complain about her getting ‘flung into the deep end’ because it was her first day back from a 6 week break. She was rascist about a coloured girl in the restraunt and a couple of people laughed. I don’t tolerate rascism and I tolerate getting talked about behind my back.

She is the floor manager+she is training staff. I properly start tomorrow but I don’t want this to carry on.

What do I do? I’m scared that if I tell the manager - things will get even worse and maybe she’ll think I just like to complain and since I’m only just about to start and she might just fire me. I dont know D: Should I just ignore her? Would that be best?

Hi hun, do not let this carry on…go and see the Manager, explain the situation..go to Direct.gov online gives you all your rights there… I use to represent people in the workplace for Harrasment and Bullying, I suggest aswell any remarks passed, events in the day keep a diary of it all…do it…x

Answer #2

tell the manager, if you check online sites about your workplace rights then you’ll see that you have the right to work in a safe and harassment free place :D
