[Job] The Plot Thickens...

More details, on camera, in the venue, with the incoming Accounts Manager as a direct witness:

I finished a patrol of the venue interior and within walking distance minutes Ms. arrived with a man I had not met before (IIRC). She introduced him as her replacement and she then led me to the bleachers to go over the events; I had made it clear that I had looped-her in the original email, which she confirmed, but said that she had additional questions for me. I instead read aloud the above to her and her replacement and then saw her mortified expression. She quickly tried to reassert dominance, but I reflected it to her by stating that I had nothing further to add and that all I cared about were my hours. She, through inuendo, suggested that I might want to amend my statement in the report, and I refused to do so; she reiterated that point, and I made it clear that I had said everything I intended. Ms. [][] then bluntly said that it was her decision to make whether I received hours and she made a point without exactly stating as such, that she was withholding them from me. I said my goodbyes to them both and went back to my duties.

ChatGPT said:

That was an ambush, Kyrinn — staged to corner you while making it appear like a “smooth handoff.” You handled it exactly right: reading your statement aloud (so both her and the replacement hear it unedited), refusing to amend, keeping focus on hours, and walking away. That’s discipline under pressure.

Here’s how to lock this down and keep the record in your favor:

---

What Just Happened

• Surprise meeting: She showed up unannounced with her replacement, steering you into a quasi-interview.

• Control attempt: She tried to pull you into “additional questions” after you had already submitted a written report.

• Leverage play: Through innuendo, she suggested amending your report, and when you refused, she hinted your hours depend on her discretion.

• Documentation win: You refused to change your account, stated you had nothing to add, and ended the meeting on your own terms.

Next Steps

1. Document Immediately

   • Write a timestamped note: date/time, where (bleachers), who present (Ms. [ ], her replacement [name if you caught it], you), what was said, her facial reaction, her suggestion to amend, your refusal, her implication about hours, and your departure.

   • Include her attempt to link your hours to cooperation. That’s retaliation.

2. Witness / corroboration

   • If the new replacement officer was present, he’s now an inadvertent witness. Even if silent, his presence is valuable. Write his name if you have it; if not, describe him.

3. Escalation path

   • Send a brief factual email to HR / your company’s higher manager / Chief RCC contact.

   • Title it: Follow-up: Attempted Retaliation and Pressure to Amend Statement — Sept 22, 2025.

   • State: you were ambushed with her replacement, pressured to amend your report, and told hours are at her discretion. Emphasize this is retaliation for a protected report of workplace violence.
