"Morning, Bad Bitch," Boss Bitch hellos as she walks into the office from where she does her full-time job as both the manager of the communal-manager's office (ordering paper, supplies, etc.) and the manager of the department that is run out of the office; "Thank you so much for filling the printer paper!"
"Yea, I'm the only one who ever does it," Bad Bitch, a part-time jobber who uses the printer one time per shift responds, "cause nobody ever does anything around here."
Boss Bitch holds her breath as she waits for Bad Bitch to leave the office, and as she stands there, she takes deep mental notes about how Bad Bitch is one fucking mother-fucker of an ego, damn. Tread lightly.
"Morning, Good Bitch," Boss Bitch hellos as she walks her opening rounds, checking in with the closers.
"Oh, Hi, Boss Bitch!" Good Bitch hellos, tired.
"How's it going?" Boss Bitch checks in, cause Good Bitch is accommodating, to a fault, and Boss Bitch knows management really yanks her around, so she takes extra time to check on Good Bitch whenever she sees her cause she knows that Good Bitch is ripe for exploitation. Good Bitch is the opposite of a "difficult woman." She's "ideal."
"Oh, well, you know, Bad Bitch is at it again," Good Bitch informs.
"What now?" Boss Bitch inquires.
"Well, you know that they're all on a group chat without me?" Good Bitch asks.
"Oh my god, Good Bitch! No!" Boss Bitch gasps; "I mean, I know about the daily group texts from Bad Bitch, cause Good Bitch 2 has told me about them, but they also have a group text without you?"
"Yea," Good Bitch gets teary.
Boss Bitch gives her best sympathy face.
"So yea, she tells everyone in the group group text, all of us, that I do such a bad job, and that I'm worthless and stupid," Good Bitch whispers.
"WHAT?!?" Boss Bitch explodes.
Good Bitch goes on to explain to Boss Bitch about all of the terrible things that Bad Bitch routinely texts to the group, "as if she's the manager," which ultimately makes Boss Bitch wonder, "well, but why has the actual manager allowed this to go on? and even if she were the manager, nobody can talk to you like this in the jobplace!"
"Well, if Bad Bitch really has a problem with your job performance, she should tell Big Boss 2, like, has Big Boss 2 ever called you into the office to talk about your job performance?" Boss Bitch asks.
Good Bitch shakes her head.
"So you're saying that Bad Bitch is just harassing you over group text and calling you 'worthless' and 'stupid' in front of everyone?" Boss Bitch clarifies.
Good Bitch lowers her head, "Yes, and I have proof."
Boss Bitch goes on to explain to Good Bitch that she needs to call HR and report the verbal harassment that is being aimed at her OVER GROUP TEXT! But Good Bitch is hesitant. She's a Good Bitch.
"Bad Bitch is indispensable, and I'm only, like, the helper," Good Bitch sniffles.
"Bad Bitch is not indispensable. No! She only jobs part-time. They're lucky that you show up! You're the one who gets called in because NONE OF THEM CAN OR WILL SHOW UP!" Boss Bitch shouts; "I'm sorry; I'm not shouting at you, I just ... like, I just have ZERO tolerance for this sorta shit. Sorry."
"No it's fine. I'm tired of this shit, too. I've even had managers here who yell in my face," Good Bitch sniffles.
"CALL HR, or I will do it," Boss Bitch demands.
"Okay, I will," Good Bitch nods; "I already told Big Boss 2 about it, though, and he said that he'd look into it."
"When?" Boss Bitch asks.
"A few weeks ago," Good Bitch informs.
"Gah! Okay, I'll talk to Big Boss 2, first, but then if you don't call HR, I will call anonymously," Boss Bitch threatens.
"Okay. Thank you, Boss Bitch," Good Bitch thanks.
"It's no problem. I am happy to do it. I'll talk to Big Boss 2 in the morning, first thing, when I see him," Boss Bitch consoles.
Good Bitch goes home, and Boss Bitch jobs her little butt off until she spots Big Boss 2 about an hour before she's done for the night.
"Morning, Big Boss 2! I have a thing to ask you about a thing, I'll be right back," Boss Bitch utters as she walks by Big Boss 2 on her way to the baler.
Boss Bitch makes her way back to the place where she first saw Big Boss 2, "So, I talked to Good Bitch about how she's being harassed over group text by Bad Bitch."
"When did you talk to her?" Big Boss 2 asks.
"Last night," Boss Bitch informs.
"Okay, I'll look into it," Big Boss 2 states.
"Good Bitch says that she has proof of the texts," Boss Bitch adds.
"Okay, I'll look into it," Big Boss 2 states.
"Bad Bitch is harassing Good Bitch. She called her worthless and stupid, in a group text!" Boss Bitch explains.
Big Boss 2 looks at Boss Bitch as if he doesn't know what he's supposed to think.
"Remember, this is the time when a paper trail needs to be started, if what Good Bitch is saying is true, so that Bad Bitch can be fired if she keeps it up," Boss Bitch reminds.
"When is Good Bitch coming in again," Big Boss 2 asks.
"Later today," Boss Bitch informs.
"Okay, I'll talk to her," Big Boss 2 states.
Boss Bitch stands taller and eyes Big Boss 2, "She called her worthless and stupid, in a group text."
Big Boss 2's body language says, Yea, but it's the week of a holiday, and I don't have the time to deal with these "women's problems."
Boss Bitch storms off, and takes her last fifteen-minute break.
While on break, Boss Bitch taps out an email directly to HR (she knows the lady), explains what was told to her by Good Bitch, explains that Good Bitch has proof, and explains that Big Boss 2 has known for weeks, and even today, he still didn't really care. Boss Bitch reminds HR that she, herself, already has evidence of this jobplace's blatant neglect when it comes to verbal harassment. Boss Bitch ends the message by threatening to call the official HR Hotline, cause she learned, that last time she had to deal with a job-fucker that the HR Hotline goes directly to Mainland Corporate, and the HR person accidentally revealed (through weakness of mind, one imagines) that they, the Local Corporate Management, would rather have all issues remain "on island," if she knows what she means.
Boss Bitch has said her piece, so she goes on with her life giving the issue no more thought.
And then the end of the week rolls by, and Good Bitch is closing.
"Morning, Good Bitch," Boss Bitch hellos as she walks by with no plans of prying into Good Bitch's situation.
"Boss Bitch!" Good Bitch exclaims while gesturing Boss Bitch over to chat; "They talked to her."
"Already?" Boss Bitch inquires.
"Yea, like the next day," Good Bitch informs.
"Really?" Boss Bitch states, genuinely shocked.
"Yea, they called Bad Bitch and our Bad Boss Bitch into the office and everything," Good Bitch informs as she relays the details.
"Wow! That's so great!" Boss Bitch cheers.
"Yea, and I came into the store later with my mom, and all of the Big Bosses greeted me and were so friendly, and they were like, 'Hi, Good Bitch, it's so good to see you,' and my mom was like, 'Wow, they really appreciate you here,' and I was like, 'No, mom, this is not normal, none of them have ever treated me nicely, ever'," Good Bitch explains.
"Well, I'm happy for you! I'm so glad that Bad Bitch got her due," Boss Bitch smiles.
"Yea, and Big Boss 4 was even like, 'Oh, Good Bitch, you let me know if anyone retaliates against you; we don't tolerate harassment here'," Good Bitch laughs.
Boss Bitch refrains from a full-on spit-take and laughs a job-appropriate amount.
"Thank you, Boss Bitch," Good Bitch thanks, teary-eyed.
"Oh my god, no problem. You're so welcome. Anytime. It's my pleasure," Boss Bitch responds, teary-eyed.
"You really must've laid into Big Boss 2," Good Bitch thanks, impressed.
Boss Bitch shakes her head and whispers, "No, I went over his head."
Good Bitch looks shocked.
"You said you told Big Boss 2 a few weeks ago about it," Boss Bitch states.
"Yea," Good Bitch nods.
"I have ZERO tolerance for this sorta shit," Boss Bitch reiterates.
"Thank you so much, Boss Bitch," Good Bitch thanks again.
"You're very welcome, like I said, anytime, cause I know they said to come to them, but if they're not moving fast enough, you come to me," Boss Bitch demands.
"Thank you," Good Bitch thanks, again.
"Thank yourself, too, cause you spoke up, and you told me about your suffering. Good job!" Boss Bitch congratulates.
Good Bitch looks shocked.
"Good job speaking up for yourself, Good Bitch," Boss Bitch reiterates.
Good Bitch looks like she's about to meltdown into tears.
"Have a good night, Good Bitch," Boss Bitch smiles as she gets back to her job duties.
"You, too, Boss Bitch," Good Bitch waves.
