Manager = Asshole Ducks

So I work in a small retail store in the mall. There are only about 6 associates and the 4 keyholders. I thought we were all chill and there was no drama. Well, my assistant manager is making it hard to work here. I’m considering quitting before the holiday season. This is my second job mind you. I work another job during the day. My one coworker is younger and one day hid ducks ONLY in the break room. Not rubber ducks, the little plastic ones. Hid them no where else. Mind you this was a one time thing. My assistant manager I guess found them the other day and is furious in the work group chat, but my store manager does not seem care. I can’t help but feel bad for the coworker. They were yelled at by the AM during their shift together. They weren’t even clocked in yet and yelled at them on the floor as they came in for their shift. When I spoke to the co worker they expressed they thought it was funny and okay since their second job didn’t seem to care and even displayed them on the register monitors.

Is this an overreaction? Like genuinely this seems little much.

Over reaction. AM has no sense of humour.

Could be worse, We keep finding the little Jesus figures.

ive worked in several locations that used those specific small plastic ducks. i know exactly what youre talking about. when i worked in a ski lift we had them over every inch of the warm up shack. literally looked like the walls were bedazzled in ducks. the DM came in one day and saw it and didnt say anything even tho we're not supposed to have stuff like that bc even he had a sense of humor and liked all our ducks and other little bits and bobs.

i predict that lady is scrolling indeed right now. and if she isnt then she needs someone to tell her to jump ship and fid somewhere else YESTERDAY

Update:
My co worker quit and I’m most likely gonna follow her lead and hand in my resignation as well. My manager is now stressed about being down another associate and having to hire before the holiday season.
