At my particular job, there are a lot of young girls that are in college and have to focus on school more than their job, but when their job becomes school you're in for a lot of stress (it's only for the key holders/ like manager types). My new manager is so uptight and just rude and it's getting on everybody's nerves. The way he "coaches" us is basically saying we suck and putting our confidence to an extreme low point. And he feels like he needs to have that talk with everyone. He bad-mouths our manager before him, who was actually the best manager ever and that pisses me off, because she had more compassion in her pinky finger than he had in his entire body. She was kind, she listened and she made us feel comfortable teaching us in a way that would never hurt out feelings. I was almost in tears because he basically told me to my face that I suck.. and he did that same thing to one of the other managers too and actually took away her rights as a manager. I understand when he says "it's not personal, it's business", but you're working with a bunch of estrogen filled girls..obviously we are very sensitive and emotional to any harsh comments we receive.
The things he does just adds on to my "Reasons Why I Want to Quit" list and yesterday he added a new feature to it. We have these floor set things, which means we change the layout of the entire store and fill it with new product once a month and it's an overnight shift. So from 6pm to 4:30, 5:30 or 8:30 in the morning we're working with only a 30 minute break. It's so physically and mentally exhausting and you feel like you just want to pass out when you're finally done. The next day, I wake up at 1:30pm, go to take a bubble and relax and then get a phone call from work. He asked me if I wanted to go into work that day, when I told him I didn't have a ride to get there..this next part left me dumbfounded..he asked where I lived so he can pick me up to bring me to work because they really need me. When I told him how awkward it would be and he kept giving me excuses to come in, I gave up because I realized if I wanted a car I needed to work to get more money. The only upsetting part for me was it was my boyfriend and I's anniversary, and although it's not a big anniversary, we still like to at least see each other and spend time alone together. So when I told him I was basically choosing money over him, it devastated him and I felt like the worst girlfriend ever.
Not gunna lie..I cried because I was so exhausted and I felt like I was letting my boyfriend down, but I quickly realized that I am doing something that is very beneficial for my future so I sucked it up and went to work. I'm really looking for either a second job or a completely new one, because there is only so much of one douche bag manager that one person can handle. I obviously know that I am not the only one in the world who was an asshole boss..but you have a choice to put up and shutup or to move on and avoid the stress. It sucks because all the associates used to love this job and now we're all planning to quit on the same day and I can only feel bad for new people he hire's because they have no idea what they're getting themselves into.
