‘The most weaponized ‘calm down’ i’ve ever heard’: Spectrum employee records confrontation from store manager - The Daily Dot

A Spectrum employee’s viral series of videos capturing a confrontation from his store manager in which she accuses him of being disrespectful and raising his voice at her has viewers urging the poster to seek new employment.

In a series of four videos posted by @abetterji, the conversation between himself and his manager escalates from her grilling him about perceived changes in mood to her accusing him of being disrespectful.

“All I’m asking is to have a consistent mood. If you have stuff going on outside of this store, to leave it outside the store,” his manager says in one of the videos. “When you leave, I don’t care who you tell, you did not tell me that you left. That is my issue.”

However, @abetterji points out that another employee was not required to clear anything with the store manager before leaving, leading to a disagreement about whether or not she had been in the store at the time.

As @abetterji accuses his manager of discriminating against him based on his gender, his manager again tells him to stop raising his voice, cursing at him in the process. When he decides to remove himself from the situation, she also accuses him of “squaring up to her,” as if he were to harm her.
