Sorry for the delay in reply (OP here)..
Hadn't read any of the replies until today, still figuring out 'watching' threads (got it down, now)
Without getting too detailed, backroom bully managed to pull me aside and raise the bar on how much of a dick he really is, to the point I got very shaken and nearly called the Integrity Hotline on him. My Pres.TL, whose authority to prevent him from doing so has been completely disregarded despite her verbal insistence that he stop, even said I should call it when I texted her I was thinking about it, because of her frustration with him. I instead wrote a the Store TL a lengthy feeling-bullied email about how it has been critically disrupting signing and asked whether others had been bullied by him. Store TL discovered thru pull-aside chats of others that bully had a strong reputation for being a total dick, and now bully is no longer allowed to jack with my stuff and isn't speaking to me. /drama

Ok. Are you with Plano team or back room team?
I am neither POG nor backroom. I'm strictly signing.. My TL is over Plano, Signing and Price and generally considers me my own third team. I work with Plano a lot as far as doing specifically signing elements. We currently have it set up so that I work 3 days during the week to doing misc projects and assist Plano, but then work Saturday mornings solo so I can focus on bigger fish and not be pulled 30 directions at once =)

I'm guessing the main issue is lost signage so I'd start writing up a list of everything you have to order to replace what he threw out.
I currently keep a check-in log of all signing-sticker descriptions when I first tear in to the pallet, as before when I had initially begun I had trouble remembering whether we had or had not in fact even received xyz backer paper. I've got a manifest of everything I've checked in, at least.. In some cases, he opened boxes and pulled everything out and threw out the box and the instructions inside, so all I had left were random pieces he couldn't figure out what were for and just left them loose and mixed together with other opened boxes.

As the PTL in my store we do not keep anything if it scans discontinued not on pog.
That was kind of bully's rationale, but I would say perhaps 40% of my work involves things that are not even governed by the PDA. I rarely even check out a PDA for that reason.. I also store the refresh/etc fixtures that go with certain resets along with them, which naturally most wouldn't even have barcodes to scan, and all of those were gone. I generally cluster everything POG needs for a reset (recently Sporting Goods, for instance) on a tub for them to draw from, and then on Saturdays come in for a day when POG is absent to audit everything they left behind after the reset is completed.
Going thru my signing mishmash with the intent to scan-audit tossables is a sure-fire way to get the stinkeye from me =) Whoever stacks our ISM pallets is renowned for not being familiar with the laws of physics, so many of my things end up being crushed and we have a tendency to keep older projects' items like generic backers to use in case they send us a crushed backer the week that we are resetting (not uncommon), but bully threw all of those out, also.

I think the drama is by-and-large done, but we're still popping up with did-we-get-it-was-it-tossed? moments as a result, but at least bully is out of my hair =P
