I work at a small video game store. I’ve been working there for about 2 months. My first paycheck came fine, but my second and third had problems. My second paycheck was late and I kept having to talk to my manager and boss about getting it to me. I got 9 days after I was supposed to. My third paycheck was late as well, but only by 3 days. But this time it was $60 less than I should have gotten. I showed my boss my hours I worked (I kept a record) and then he said he’d get my $60 to me soon.

I worked last Friday and kept asking about my $60. My manager said he’d e-mail the boss and find out. A couple hours later, my manager had to go to another store to pick up a PS3 and left me alone with the assistant manager. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I called my boss and got only his voice mail, and then I remembered the e-mail my manager sent him. I checked the company e-mail (which wasn’t password blocked) and this is what I found:
Hey [Boss],

hey here in [city] [debuggonnawinnow] & kyle are here working with me and i wanted to send [debugg] home but he says that he is waiting for you to bring him $60 bucks that you missed on his check. it never ends with
this guy. were you planning to bring that by today? it is getting really hard to juggle both jordan and [debugg]. i know that mike wanted
to keep him on but if it were up to me i would say release him. he is a great kid but i don’t think retail is right for him. we’ve also got your reserved copy of “Boogie” that you can come get at your earliest convenience! anyway, i wanted to let you know about that.

thanks,
chris

Those 10.15 hours that we shorted [debugg] will be added to his next check for the pay period [debugg] 1-15, paid on the 20th. Please let him know. His dad called me the other night and wondered what was
going on. Keep him on the schedule 1 day a week and we’ll reevalute after the current pay period.

Thanks, Have a Rockin’ Weekend in So Jo!
I changed my name to my screen name and my boss’s name to Boss. My manager is Chris and the assistant manager is Kyle. Jordan is the other part-timer that’s been there about a week shorter than I.

The next day I got my $60. Today I accidentally missed a staff meeting that probably puts me on their “to fire” list. Other than missing the meeting, I have done nothing wrong. I’ve been very proactive and responsible.

So I’m planning to quit. In telling them I quit, would it be alright to bring up the e-mail I saw, or would that do no good and make relations worse. The reason I’d want to use it would be to defend myself and let them know not to talk behind my back. Could seeing the e-mail get me in trouble though?
