This is an example how to properly document your daily employee activity on the job while doing your job with customers and interacting with staff. When documenting your day, make sure that you record the date, names, and times of everything. If you have to go back and proofread your information for accuracy and compare your notes against the recording made for the day. Observe what you recorded and make necessary alterations.

“___________ was the acting store manager for the day. Clocked in on time for my regular shift and scheduled to work from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. __ asked me to assist today in making sales as customers were walking in the door left and right. __ also asked me to take out the trash that was in the back of the store near the exit door. I took out the trash as directed even though I had on a shirt and tie with a suit jacket, though I felt asking me to take out the trash was quite humiliating because ___ knew I was dressed up. Nevertheless, I did what ___ asked me to do because that was my job.

Roughly after 12 p.m. today, I managed to successfully make a sale in the amount of $1,229.03. Had issues at first with the credit card because they came into the store from out of state and the credit card system needed to verify the purchase over the phone before the transaction could go through. I had numerous challenges- failures with the credit card machine reading the chip on the credit card. After verifying the purchase and authorized the sale over the phone, I proceeded back to the credit card machine and manually punched in the credit card number. Lo and behold, the transaction went through successfully and they were a happy camper.

It’s now a little after 1 p.m. And customers are pouring in the store. Customer left. I’m on to the next customer trying to make a sale number two. Shortly afterwards, the Human Resources generalist walks in on me unexpectedly while I’m dealing with the potential customer. H.R. manager interrupts the sale to greet me by saying in so many words “hey my friend,” and virtually “forced their hand into mine to shake my hand.” H.R. manager proceeds to _____ side of the business service desk afterwards and was on the phone with someone until I finished dealing with the customer.

Once I finished dealing with the customer and wished them a good day and thanking them for coming in to buy something, I proceeded to the employee side of the business service desk and sat down facing in the direction toward the H.R. manager who was sitting on _____ side of the business service desk. Shortly afterwards, Human Resources manager (shiesty H.R. manager going along with the botched plan to terminate you) asked me to go into _____ office to have a talk with me and invited _____ in on the conversation. _____ is the ____ I reported in November for saying they were going to bring a gun to work. After receiving the email report in November, H.R. manager did nothing about it and quickly turned the tables on me to make me look like the bad person, which this is a clear case of “employee retaliation.” H.R. manager covered things up to make things look legit and terminates employee who reported November occurrence of on duty manager and younger acting store manager saying they were going to bring a gun to work. Whistle-blower is officially fired. (End of documentation).”

‘Documenting Your Employer from the Beginning’

Document everything as a new hire from jump street. Most employers say and do sneaky things to get it later swept under the rug while they continually mistreat you. Stop letting them get away with highway robbery – shenanigans and write them up. Hopefully the general example above gave you an idea how to formulate your unique style of documenting your narcissist employer when they do you wrong.
