  • For some context, this employee (unknown age, F, we'll name K) and I, (32F) work for the same company, but at different locations;
  • she was originally from my store. She's worked here for over a year and I've been here for almost 5 months.
  • I'm an external hire for a management position in a kitchen and was an MIT for a little over 2 months while she's been a shift supervisor for

  • my own store, the location, and the date/time I'd be starting. I walked into a chaotic disaster. It was completely unorganized; dirty;
  • and in so many food safety violations I could have did. Waste was also out of control and our cost of sales were so high,

  • Everything was operating as normal and I didn't even know this other employee existed until the end of July. She seemed nice and offered to help

  • Fast forward to the past few days. I get a text from someone I'm very close to that she was at her store talking a bunch of cr p about me - AT HER STORE -
  • claiming I stole her position/job; I'm lazy; I don't know what I'm doing; she could do better; and how I'm a terrible manager who is disorganized.

  • She was at my store today to help out the non-kitchen side and was there for maybe 3 hours before she was telling MY COWORKERS the same crop she's been
  • trying to spread at her store. One of my supervisors from the corporate office was there and ended up confronting her and K did not stop.
