My manager and I have a history. It's obvious to both of us that we dislike each other and it's been like this for the past four-five months. I live on my own and need this job, so i've overlooked quite a bit of stuff. Thursday afternoon, i left work at 3p.m and i accidentally left my jacket hanging on a peg behind our fish system - where i've left my jacket the entire 1 1/2 years i've worked there. Every other employee in my department, including my manager herself, leaves their jacket there. I come back to work Satuday morning and my friend Kim tells me that Thursday night, she saw my manager take my jacket (that mysteriously ended up in the break room) from the breakroom chair, into the trash can and pour coffee all over it. So i then proceed to go tell my store manager. About a hour later, my manager calls me to the office and immedietely starts griping about me telling our GM about the situation before going to her. I called Randy in there and we both just went at it. The only valid excuse she could give me for doing what she did is that "my jacket had no buisness being in the break room, much less hanging behind the fish system". HER JACKET WAS HANGING BEHIND THE FISH SYSTEM WHEN I CAME IN TO WORK THAT MORNING!!!! When i told her & our GM this, she just gave me a flabbergasted look and couldnt even come up with a response. I fully expected to her AT THE VERY LEAST be sent home for the day, but I really wanted her fired or demoted. NOTHING HAPPENED. My store manager asked her to pay to have my jacket cleaned and that's it. It's obvious to me that this was an intentional act and imo there is nothing she could EVER say to justify it. You just don't go around throwing perfectly good (and new!) jackets into the garbage and then proceed to dump coffee on it.
So i have three questions.
1. What would you/would have done?
2. What do you think is the approriate repurcussions?
3. Should i go above my store managers head to our DM or even HR?
Please help. My job is becoming unbearable.
