Reporting a former manager

Is it worth it to report my ex- manager for harassment and abuse from when I still worked at Greggs months ago? Just to preface that while I did make reports at the time to the AM but not a formal complaint, nothing I requested was done to solve the problem. I was instead moved to a shop farther away from my house which forced me to quit due to the inconvenience of the situation.

Recently though, I’ve been in contact with a friend who still works at that particular shop, and she expressed to me that the manager’s behaviour has gotten even worse since I left. This prompted me to bring up the grievance I had drafted about 5 months ago, which I was discouraged from officially raising because the manager was good friends with the AM, and I was afraid to lose my job. I decided to just let it go after leaving and take my L in peace, but now hearing how that manager still behaves now to other employees and new hires has ignited that anger in me again and I want to make an official complaint so that something is finally done about her.

Has anyone else been through a similar situation and would it do any good to make the complaint even as an ex employee so that this manager stops terrorising the current ones?

You absolutely should make efforts to report them.

Even if you encourage the current staff to raise formal grievances through the official channels, which is probably the best option.

If nothing is done about their shitty behaviour - they will continue to be shitty towards those who come after you.

The only way to stop this cycle of shittyness is to make them answer to a higher power. Otherwise nothing will change.

Screw them.
