As the previous person mentioned, leaving was the best thing I could have done. The phony RM will turn on you in one second for the silliest of reasons. I am not sure how this continues to happen, but I suppose it's because no one feels their feedback is safe in an exit interview. It's such a small industry I didn't feel safe telling them why I was bailing. If you bad mouth the RM it will likely get back to her. My suggestion, have Robin (one most everyone trusts) call all of those that left Pearson in the Central over the last few months and see if they will talk. Most do not trust the GM because he is oddly close to the RM.
As for the wonderful DM that was demoted and left Pearson because of a cancer diagnosis, this is beyond disgusting. I heard this and thought someone was just being silly, but then heard it from 2-3 other people that specifically heard it from another RM. Are you serious, how about just admit you bullied that person so badly that they finally left. Unreal, get some new RM's or GM's that treat people with respect and don't cry every five minutes over complete nonsense. Buying people gifts and telling them you love them will not work forever, be "authentic" for once.
