Sorry guys, I forgot my login and couldn't reply.
A few details on the case.
My partner is the counter manger & fine art manager.
Back in August everything was going great. A staff member came to her and said although she loves working there, her partner can't get a visa and she was moving back home. They all went to a goodbye dinner, there her manager (the boss's daughter(BD)) was there.
The next day the girl leaving said that it was a little odd because of BD and would like a real goodbye night out, so invited the whole counter who all are close, my partner was invited and I went along.
All bonded and all staff got to see the real person my partner is.
The following week, about an hour before my partner was to finish, she was called into a meeting, 3 points were raised in a "letter of concern". 2 were made up, one was taking out of context (staff member said "scared of her" while laughing). She is still waiting on the formal letter of concern.
The following week, my partner was informed of a change in plans, when told that the BD would be catching up on her work because "she has a lot of work". My partner said, "yep of course, you do".
The next day, on her way out after clocking off, she was handed a "invitation to a formal meeting" where she would be handed a written warning. The BD who was making the claims stated in the letter that "she would be the sole person in charge of the meeting and any ruling that may come from it, inc. dismissal".
My partner spoke with the GM who said he'll handle it, while the BD was meeting with HR (off site). My partner then made a formal complaint for targeted action. Formal warning was put to the side.
The following Tuesday my partner was informed of a 100% role change, no longer allowed in the fine art area. No reason was given and they are now over staffed at the counter. She spoke with the GM who stated it was wood ducks idea, her name is on the building, get used to it.
My partner gets a result back from her complaint, told that it's nothing, matter now put to rest, further action will see legal action taken. Gets handed a written warning for "of cause you do", was offered no support for the meeting. Bonus is knocked back, told 3 reasons, all 3 were made up including "we had to put you through training twice", she was asked back as a team leader because she excelled at the course.
Her email is searched overnight, was emailed at 11pm on a Saturday night blasting her for a mistake the owner made and GM gave ok to fix the way she did.
The BD makes up a complaint about a phone call, witness backed up my partner. We're given emails from someone (still don't know) with proof that they want to get rid of her. The BD blasts my partner in front of customers for "not sharing an unfinished training manual". My partner is then written up for that.
Since all this started, my partner has to be under full time watch, she's always crying, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat, is always snappy at everyone, has pretty much stopped all wedding planning and workcover knocked her back.
