I Quit
Wednesday...
I went through some of the employee files just like the owner had said. He told me back on Saturday that after the phone call from Immigration he is not too worried about it all but he wants to have a list of when people's green cards expire so we do not have any working that are expired. When I pulled some of the files I found that a bunch of them looked fake. One of the guys expired back in 2003 and two of the people did not even have picture id to prove it was there social security cards. I wrote it down for him so he knew who needed more stuff in the files.
Juan, in the middle of me checking files, flipped out and started screaming at me that it was none of my business and I had no right to be in the files. I told him the owner asked me to and since I make the files it should not be a problem any way. He said he was going to complain to the owner when he got back from vacation.
Thursday...
I was working in Milwaukee and a woman came in to translate for an old man that could not speak English. The man was being audited by the IRS because it said that someone had been using his SS# and working at one of our locations. I still have not found out who was using the number though and if they are still employed with us.
Friday...
I had off work but James said that when he left the owner and Juan were in the office.
Saturday...
I went in to work and the owner was not there yet. He is always very early. When he came in he did not even look at me he just went straight to the back with out even getting coffee. I tried to tell myself that it could not possibly be me that he was mad at since I did nothing wrong. A few minutes later a detailer come to the front and said that The owner was pissed off and throwing things around.
Then Juan brought me a new guy's green card. Right away I knew it was fake. The picture was too big, close up, blurry, and it was not a side view. Then I saw that the plastic was peeling at the corner and it was not cut evenly around the edges. It was a horrible fake. I told James and said that he could ask the owner if he wants to accept it because I figured the owner was probably mad at me.
He went back to the office and I heard what sounded like the owner throwing things. He has had a very bad temper lately and needs to grow up. Then James came back out to get the guys folder and said that the owner is all pissed off and said he is not in the business of law enforcement so he does not give a **** if it is fake. When James came back out of the office again he told me that I should look for a new job Monday because the owner was all upset and putting a lot of the blame on me. Some how he gets questioned twice in a week about illegals working there and I am pissing him off because I am trying to help him not get shut down.
I then told James that I was not going to stay and work 10 hours while the owner stormed around the building pissed off at me. James tried to stop me from leaving. He even called me while I drove home and when I got home begging me to come back. I know I should wait to find another job before leaving a job but I could not take any more. I was going to be upset all day so I had to leave.
James has been too busy to even let me know what was said after I left. I am sure many people are glad I left because I was the only one that made the wash guys work and follow the rules. I am sure the owner is probably happy I left because now he thinks he can ignore all the problems and they will go away. The only reason I did not call immigration on him was because James still works there. I am sure they will be after him soon enough any way.
