25) He took advantage of me when we worked together. He would call me almost every day asking me to come in and open the store for him because he was tired, so he could sleep in. But he didn’t want me to tell anyone about this, so he still got paid, and I didn’t get paid, because no one knew I was covering for him. He was getting me to work his hours for free so he could sleep in. I thought he really cared about me, and that I was just doing a friend a favour. But these are favours he’d never do for me, and he was in a position of power over me and knew that I liked him. I even communicated to him that bc of my BPD I found it extremely hard to say no to him and that he’d need to be aware of that. But he took advantage all the time. He would leave the store for hours at a time during his shifts to walk around the mall aimlessly, sometimes leaving me alone with a huge rush. Once, and only once, me and a coworker left during a shift to get lunch together, and it took longer than usual because the line in the food court was really long, so he was left alone in the store for once. Well, he was hit with a rush and was furious when we came back. But I was like... dude, you do this to me literally all the time and don’t give a shit about how many rushes I’m hit with. But I never did it again. I would however, go out during my shift for 10 minutes to get a coffee. Because I actually need it to function. And he threw those in my face multiple times. But a 10 min coffee break when I was working so hard for him in no way compared to the shit he was doing to me. He also told me and two other employees at the same time (J and A) that he’d give us the AM position if we got our sales numbers up, but said it in a secretive way, like, “I want you to have it, I want you to be my AM, so don’t tell the others” but said the same thing to them, so that he would get his holiday bonus for meeting his sales targets. He would probably say that’s “good management” I say that’s manipulative.
