AITAH for telling HR about my young boss behavior?
So for some context, I work at a fast food chain and have for the last year. Now, at the beginning my boss (M 21) who we’ll call E and I got along pretty well. He liked to over share quite a lot about personal problems or past traumas, but I didn’t think much about it and just let him vent without getting involved (mostly because I was being a kiss ass to the managers and wanted to be liked). Now, I’m not sure what’s really going on, but he has “good” days and “bad” days. On good days, he’s friendly and talks a lot, mostly about his current fixations or venting in a joking way. On bad days, he’s rude, snappy, and genuinely not nice to be around. He could also switch between the two during a single shift. My coworkers and I thought it was just stress or something and let it be. Lately however, he’s been telling EVERYONE (including our location manager) about current hookups and intimate stuff. Now, a few days ago, I don’t know what happened, but E became VERY rude. He ignores me unless it’s criticism, goes out of his way to make my shift harder, yet he’s still acting good with a lot of other coworkers! Just for an example, this is just a few things that happened in ONE shift:
• Said (and I quote): “Why don’t you put that drink down so I can hand it out? Yeah, put it down.” In a very condescending baby voice
• Placed his phone in a nearly empty napkin holder while I was restocking just so I couldn’t restock
• Kept hitting my feet and ankles with a mop while I was taking an order and couldn’t move
• Accused me of lying about not having work pants (my higher up is currently ordering me some BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY)
• And got mad at me for “standing around” (when I had no orders) while he talked to other coworkers about video games while doing nothing.
Now, I’ve talked to the location manager, but since she and E have an almost parent/child relationship, I don’t see anything being changed. I’m now wondering if I should go even higher, possibly even going to the owner (because there’s also multiple reviews from customers saying how they’ve seen how E treats the staff and find it very inappropriate and downright bully-like). I’m worried I’ll possibly get fired or treated worse (as E is already mad at me for telling my boss I was uncomfortable with him snapping me on Snapchat)
AITAH for continuing to tell on him when I know E needs this job and continuing to pursue action with higher ups?
EDIT: I don’t WANT to get him fired! I just want him to change his actions before more people start to complain or DO try and get him fired. I understand he’s in a rough spot and needs the money from this job (especially with how decent the manager pay is) for the EMT course he’s doing and for other life expenses.
