Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I am 18, have just begun college. I study computer science and got to work at a tech store. I had honestly loved it there for the short time I worked there. One thing to note was that except me, every person who worked in the store was a woman. Many of them were really friendly to me, and I think they are geniunely nice. My manager , who is in her early 50s, was definitely not nice though, and made really inappropriate comments.. Like remarking that I wore nice tight pants once in a suggestive way,but I loved the job so thought to leave it at that, I convinced 2 of the women who heard it to not let the problem become bigger. 


During my time there, I kept seeing instances of disabled and elderly people having to travel an excruciatingly long distance for them, sometimes even a hundred feet or so during busy days,so I told my manager that it might be better if we just kept the woman’s parking a couple of metres back instead of it being in front of the store, and on weekdays keep it as it is. I suggested this to her extremely politely, and also gave her a sheet with approval from all the other staff for this idea, as long as the parking was only pushed back a couple of feet. I also promised I would look out for women at night when they make their way to the car.

But my manager got really, really angry. Saying this was sexist and narrow minded and I should be ashamed, that she didn’t expect this from me etc. I just apologised and continued working. I then got to know that I had been fired the next day. I was honestly shocked, like everyone was. I was the most knowledgeable person about tech stuff there. I am not saying this because I believe I am superior, but my father is a tech journalist and I grew up in a household where I had a fascination for these things from a very young age. I could answer questions the other staff couldn’t, so if a person wanted a very specific phone( for example, I would recommend them to wait for the google pixel lite if they wanted a good camera on a budget or the limited edition Nokia 9, and just buy the pixel 3 if they didn’t have any issue with the money etc. I can go on and on with the specifications and features), they would be redirected to me. I can confidently say I was one of the best, and firing me for something that I talked about really politely and apologised for seems insane to me. 

I have honestly been really upset about this, that job meant a lot to me and it was loads of fun. The company was excellent, the store in itself was nice, I got to check out the phones when they had arrived etc. 
I recently received news that the owner was going to visit our store in a while, and a few of my ex employees told me to talk about the matter to him, and that they would support me too.

Was I the asshole? And will I be the asshole if I talk to the owner about this?

Thanks a lot for taking your time and replying. I am honestly a very open person, criticism is fine too! I just want the truth, thanks!
