I think you are onto something there. I know a few times I would find myself riding in the car to another branch and that branch's manager would be driving. He would ask me what I thought of my BM and said it was all confidential. He would ask leading questions that were a dead give away that my BM was fishing for information to use against me. I never gave anything up. One of the smartest things I did at ERAC was learned very quickly that there are no secrets and to trust no one.
My final straw was when I was leaving the branch one Friday with the intent to drive 2.5 hours to my parents house. As I was leaving the drive way the ABM came running out waving his arms in the air. He came to my car and said, "your scheduled to work tomorrow." I naturally protested and he just said, "It's on the calendar." He then walked away. That truly was about the 7th or 8th saturday in a row I had worked and he had worked none during that time. I had to cancel all my family plans and enjoy another saturday at erac. I had specifically asked for that Saturday off since some family from North Carolina were coming to my parents house that weekend. I had confirmed my day off earlier in the week and saw that same ABM's name on the calendar. I asked him if he could work and he said, "I've got plans. You need to ask for days off if you need them." When I got there the next day his name had been completely blacked out and mine was written in.
I decided at that moment that I would leave. It was just a couple of more weeks before I got a new job and didn't let the management know I'd be leaving. I left for lunch one busy day and never came back.
