Ugh.
Maybe you could be a reference for the noob if he tries to get a job somewhere else.
It is worse than that.
I had to sit through an hour and a half write up ceremony with the "injured" and the big boss. They made up shit about me, put it in writing and expected to get me to sign off on it after saying the lies were true for an hour. I was accused of "reading a novel" while I was supposed to be in charge of security and they had photographic proof. (actually I did hold a paperback for a few minutes. It was brand new book, never even had the binding cracked, which I was inspecting as a co-worker walked out the door with it. I did read the back cover, but it was a "friends" brand new book. I never even tried to open it, but it is enough for them to have proof they need.)
They also have "proof" that I was reading a magazine,, instead of doing my job. I was actually glancing through our new buyers' guide, published every month. It is a duty of all of us to know what we a re advertising, right? Anyway, they are twisting the truth in order to get rid of me.
There is another problem with me continuing work. I have been there a long time. I have mentioned that I have already been eliminated from full time work - which means no more employee benefits, which had become substantial due to my extended tenure. There is also the problem of my wage. If they get me out and hire someone new onto my position, they will only have to pay that person two thirds what my wage is.
Whether I like it or not, I am on my way out. Stupid punk supe thought he could hit me in the parking lot and put me off, but he is the one with a dramatically dislocated elbow (I caught his arm straight out as he swung at me and popped his elbow up from below to about ninety degrees beyond straight out, then grabbed it and raked it about one hundred twenty more degrees around, ripping his shoulder completely out of joint and leaving it sticking out from under his scapula, several inches from home) and shoulder which will end up being far worse than a clean break of either bone as his recovery proceeds. That is why he was unconscious when I was about to pound his face. He was already in shock from the pain.
... but as I can see now what is happening (I have been through this once before remember - from back ten years ago and another job, remember?), I am a target for dismissal, just as are all others who have been there too long.
