Perhaps you have hoped you could document all the nonsense you hear around the breakroom? The gross issues that no one wants to mention while the boss is around, the borderline harassment remarks that fly freely from day to day, or have you got that special someone that just bugs you with put down criticism from day to day.
The simple truth is, my management had always informed me there was never any genuine method to get the proof against them. Needless to say, they know where the security cameras are in the warehouse - so they know the best places to hang out and snooze on the job. And naturally, after they come into the office or retail side of the store - they are always on their best behavior. But the breakroom and the restrooms are right smack in the center of the warehouse which means you have to go "into their territory" at minimum once or twice each day.
So, here it is, I had been up late one night and was dreading the next day at the office, and I started searching Google and yahoo for "harassment at work." In fact, if you take five minutes and do that for yourself, you'll immediately observe that I'm not really alone in my problem. There are lots and lots of irritated men or women stuck in my same position. But rather than making me feel much better, it made me choose to end it instantly. I read through many problems which were something like mine before I discovered one which made me want to stand up and cheer. There was a female that made use of a micro hidden camera along with a voice recorder to get the proof she required. The lady recorded the spoken comments and also recorded video of the idiots in her situation. Then she got straight to the point and informed her boss that if he didn't act on the facts she had - then she would take it higher to their corporate office. She won! The creeps were fired and they never knew it was her that obtained all of the evidence against them. In any case, the proof was so solid they couldn't deny it. I was so thrilled for her and immediately had dreams of doing this for myself.
Finally, so I'm reading horror stories about harassment on the internet until I came across that one lady's story. She said she obtained her spy camera from the online spy shop generally known as spy-tronix. So that was my next approach. Wow! Have you ever looked around a spy shop before? It is really a lot of fun and I had no clue this type of high technology was accessible to the public. I had fun looking, but I also needed to get some rest, so I used the spy-tronics live help feature and told one of their personnel about my issue. The customer service tech revealed that they hear that sort of a story every week - but then explained I'd need to do my recording legally. They guided me towards a keychain hidden voice recorder and a compact keychain video camera. I purchased one of each and had them expressed shipped to me all for less than $125 dollars!
Final conclusion, within one or two weeks, I had put together clear audio recordings of total vulgar and harassing comments around the breakroom and I also had solid hidden video camera evidence of these dummies sleeping in the rafters. Yes, you heard me, they would cut open the plastic wrapper and actually take turns snoozing in the sofas while their pals covered for them. ...Anyways, problem solved. My supervisor had no alternative but to act on the evidence I gave to him and I never told a single person at the office what I was doing because I didn't know when I would have to do it again. Aaaahhhhh! The next couple of employees that were hired to fill the vacancies were told how the last individuals were fired. They are definitely on their very best behavior - and from now on I've got a good place to work. I really should have done that years ago.
