Bosses...

If you have had some jobs then you would agree with me that there are an extreme wide variety of bosses. They can either be really sweet and understanding or they can be extremely bitter and snap at you for every little thing. You can either choose to deal with it because you are making money orrrrr you can say "Fuck That!" and find another job that may or may not have a better manager and that sucks to have to keep searching, but chances are you will find one that is a happy median.

My first job at McDonald's was horrible.. it was my first job and it was at a fast food restaurant of course it was horrible. The co-manager was the shit, she was so chill and laid back and I felt comfortable talking to her more than any other manager. The guy manager...what a fucking prick. First of all, I do not understand why they need so many damn managers, it just makes it that much more crowded. One day at work it was super busy and I was fry boy right. So that's a good 4 feet of space to move and it gets dirty and oily and dangerous real quick. It was so gross that I could not deal with it anymore so I decided to sweep during a busy time. I got yelled at for cleaning basically. I never felt so dumbfounded in my life. Yeah I can understand that it was busy but I was keeping on top of the fries.. it's not that hard people. The last time I talked to him I said, "I'm dropping off my uniform for my last paycheck."
  Now the legit manager always was a bitch and gave everyone the stink eye. She was completely heartless and didn't care about anyone. If you know my acne story you know how much I struggled with it and working in a greasy place wasn't helping at all. One day I had a dermatologist appointment and to my surprise and for the first time, my doctor put 4 needles in my face to lower the redness and huge blotches I had...fucking needles bro! It was terrifying and I felt very nauseous and sick after that so I called out of work and yeah you guessed it, this asshole manager picked up. She's like "Uhhh ok fine. I'll tell them. Bye" and hung up. Didn't give 2 shits that I felt like I was about to throw up and made me feel guilty as if having me not be there was going to blow up the golden arches. Fuck her and fuck them. I'm so glad I am out of there.

Second job at Charlotte Russe, well all the managers were all pretty much young. I'm talking like only a couple of years older than me (18) They were all nice, but it felt like Mean Girls..they each had their clique and they stuck with that and made everyone else seem awkward. Thank God I am a very lovable person so everyone loved me haha. They kept saying that they don't care about if we get tired during Black Friday at the time, that they're going to be there for hours so they basically didn't want to hear it. When at the time I worked both jobs so hell yeah I was tired, but I wasn't ever going to mention that to Ms. Crabby Pants. One of the managers really liked me though and always called me sweetie, she was the only understanding and caring one out of the bunch and now when I go there to shop she always has a smile when she sees me. 

At my 3rd and current job at Bath&Body Works my 1st ever nice and suppeerr sweet manager, finally! Her name was Shannon and she was just the bubbliest and funnest person ever. She made work fun and enjoyable and I told her that she was my favorite manager ever...by looking at my past stories I'm sure you can tell she was the best out of all of them. Well she got pregnant and she was moving to New York to continue growing her family. So we got a new manager..it's a guy. Immediately I thought, no straight guy is going to want to be around bubbles and candles and 10 girls all day long so this guy must be gay. In a way I thought cool he's gay it's going to be so much fun because there are no mean gay people and we'll all get along great..turns out ..not to be like that.. at all. He is overwhelmingly controlling and anal about everything (no pun intended). His definition and your definition of perfection are completely different things. I was aware the other day at work that he had a competition at work for "whoever works the most hours gets a prize"...but hes the manager and we work on a "call-in" system (meaning we call the store to see if we're making enough money for the day to have help come in to work). Sooo all of my call-ins for the past 2 weeks were a no-go and that was on his account. Naturally all of the managers got the most hours because..well they have to be there. It was the dumbest competition and it only lasted 2 days. But honestly...did you really think that was going to work? Whatever, even though he only gives me 3 hour shifts, I wont leave because I still love all my girls that work there and even though I am the baby of the bunch they still love me and we all act like sisters. 

I obviously need another job since I am not currently in school and need more money, but I don't think I can leave my girls just yet. If you work and have an anal boss, what would you do? Would you stick it out for the money? Or would you get the hell out of there as soon as you felt uncomfortable/ angry? Give me your opinions!
