I work in a small tuning shop. For the first eight months I was the only technician. The apprentice gave me so much grief. He doesn't view me as someone worth listening too and thinks he knows better. (I've worked on cars for ten years)

I told the boss that the kid isn't trainable and the boss asked him "why don't you want to learn?" He said "I can't learn from someone I don't accept" the boss told him to get over himself and told me if he doesn't improve, he's gone.

The apprentice decided he'd rather clean the floor all day everyday than let me teach him the trade. He did this for 9 hours a day for three months until they hired another technician. The apprentice accepted him and worked with him everyday. The new guy didn't do too well, made a lot of mistakes and couldn't handle the pressure.

New guy quit last week so it's just me again. The apprentice is back to cleaning floors all day everyday and we just kinda ignore each other.

His attitude towards me aside, he's a total air head. Doesn't retain any information whatsoever and struggles following basic instructions. One glaring example is his been told at least 15 times to clean his piss off the toilet seat which the customers use. He still doesn't.

God I wish the boss would just fire the kid already. He's wasting everyone's time showing up to work everyday.

I was talking to a coworker about why she left the building. She told me management is horrible. I asked her to explain and she did. The typical ‘clique’ crew. Where no one gets in trouble for what they did. Also saying that the managers have told certain staff to write statements on coworkers they simply do not like so that they can gather up all the stuff that happened and write them up/fire them. I was one of the coworkers they were trying to fire. I don’t know why. But after my 90 days, they stopped trying.

Thoughts? Comments? I’m just trying to be on my bestest behavior to keep this job before I move away

I am a psychologist and I am going for mi first hr job, I have only worked with patients till now. The thing is, the office job requires a lot of organizing and doing adminstrative type of work, and when they explain it to me, I feel like I am not going to be able to do this, im so unorganized and bad at those type of things. And what scares me more is that I am an extremely confident person and never feel this way about anything, but this scares me a lot. Does everyone feel like they are going to be bad at their new job?

So I had been under the assumption that I had been doing fairly well but, I came into work today and the supervisor mentioned how so, and so had been watching the cameras and wasn't too pleased with people standing around. I immediately felt as though it was directed at me, as I am relativity new. An I have made sure to inquire about the downtime we experience, as the saw operator will go on a bathroom break, which is usually the time I spend cleaning up the area in which I work. I'll sweep, I'll grab stuff off the floor to prevent a trip hazards.

I low key feel like I am walking on egg shells now. I'm just dumbfounded by what they expect the new person to be doing? It's not like I can jump onto other jobs to preoccupy myself while I am waiting, I can really only sweep the floor, and pickup garbage off the floor, and I am still working with somebody to unload material. So it's a real challenge of spreading the work out. I am also getting the feeling that, I am being denied bundling the orders (as I haven't bundled an order since day one, I feel as though I failed bad enough, to where others will simply do it because it's easier and reassuring for them.

It's broken down to me simply wanting to tell my supervisor, if I were to get in trouble. Telling them, "What do you expect me to do? It's not like I have been trained on other jobs, I've been here for a week. An I have been sticking to what I have been advised to do from employee to employee training. So You're either telling me your training process could use a little work, or that there are issues within the production line that could be improved upon?

I enjoy the job a heck of a lot more than my previous job, so I would really hate to lose this job. As I feel, as though I haven't done very much wrong. I have stuck with what I have been shown to do, and have come to the conclusion that I am barred from bundling the orders after day one, or two. Worst case scenario I return to my previous job, I guess?

Hiii everyone so I (25f) desperately want to leave my job. It’s my first office job at a small business doing admin work and event planning. I’ve worked there for almost three years and have found myself with an immense amount of responsibility that has started weighing on me. I view myself negatively in relation to how I complete tasks at work and what the feedback is. It’s super unhealthy obviously and I want to remove myself from the situation so I can clearly see what I need to work on. Currently I have a huge workload and I struggle finding time to reflect at and outside of work which makes me take feedback super negatively. In short IM OVER IT and worried about the resentment I’m harboring, it’s not something I expected when getting into more professional work. I’m worried about talking directly to my supervisors about leaving since they preach “we’re like a family here” and may try to convince me to stay. Any advice?

To clarify; I was always going send an email giving a two week notice, I’m more asking if it’s something I have to bring up verbally first.

It’s performance review season, and I was hired last spring by the C suite of the department. He met me doing some non profit work and got me a job because he said the team needed my Swiss Army knife skills (I’m adaptable). I have no title or job description but I have been kicking ass at work- opening whole new business segments in a matter of weeks, driving revenue, and building internal and external processes for cross functional collaboration. I’m reporting to the VP of my department.

Last week, after doing my review, my VP says I need to start reporting to the senior manager she also manages. This doesn’t make a lot of sense because that manager has never worked on 80% of the things I do, there’s a learning curve just for me to explain my work to her. In addition, she is managing a bigger team then she ever has and has even told me the stress of that she’s facing (we were more like peers ill now after all). C suite says they need to stack headcount to validate making senior manager a director. I’m resistant to change managers, but eventually agree. C suite even sits me down and is like “let’s plan your career what do you want to get out of this” and makes it clear he is invested in my development.

Then today, there’s a restructuring. I am moved under the senior manager, and now I have a title… associate. I’m gagged. I open whole segments independently, I bring together the managers on the team to identify and act on cross functional opportunities and make our work more efficient? I was doing the job of one of the manager before he was hired. Associate?

All year, I had convos with my manager (my VP manager) about how I needed a title and it should be minimum manager level. Every time she agreed. She even asked me to identify the difference between my work and a team members and I did so using the company handbook definition of roles. She agreed then too. That team member just got promoted to manager, and I’m an associate.

The restructuring is putting the class of work of growth channels all under this senior manager. I don’t understand how I got thrown into this role. I don’t get how c suite and VP can only say good things about my work and how I exceed expectations at doing a job I have no description for and yet here I am, feeling demoted.

Hey everyone, I have to hop on here to vent about a situation that occurred a couple of hours ago, and I'm still reeling for it.

To start off, I work in the auto industry, and I've been with this company for just over a year now, and ultimately have not had many issues, other than being shipped around to other shops and staying at one of the shops for 6 months, when I was promised the shop this company bought would be available a month or two after I was hired. No biggie to me, it is what it is, but it kind of left me with the "man, they really screwed me over" kind of thing. Under the rug.

Our shop opened up just about 7 months ago. The shop has been mainly dead, but had it's rushes. I work as a B tech here, so I get paid hourly plus a dollar amount per billed hour. Since we are slow, I'm mainly just getting my hourly, nothing else. I've discussed my wages before, and the general service guys make more an hour than me. With it being slow, I'm getting paid less. Again, I thought if it picks up, I'd be making a lot more.

I am the only back shop employee that has put up numbers for our shop. I write extremely thorough inspections, detailing everything, and notes on any diagnostics I did, or and concerns I find. Our A tech is basically useless, and our general service guys, although I like them, are green and backyard, so they're slow and getting used to not backyarding vehicles. But this part is important to note, especially being the top performer for the shop.

Today, we had a customer come in. He's a regular, and he just started trying to tackle work on his cars. This one, he did a ton of brake stuff, and thought he messed up some ABS things. I did a quick inspection, wrote a page full of notes, and verified nothing was wrong. After I was done, I was asked by the Manager (let's call him M), why I don't have pictures.

"I do, they're right here" M: "No, we do an inspection on every car" "We did, we just saw this car a little bit ago, and we last did a full blown inspection less than 2000 miles ago". M: "I don't care, we do it on every car, and you didn't do one"

At this point, the rest of the conversation is the argument:

"Well, we've looked at this car a thousand times, and we know anything that was even found, that he would take it, try fixing it, break it, and then bring it here" M: "i don't care, it's company policy, do it" "This is pointless, I don't see why we have to do it for this vehicle".

Meanwhile, he follows me out to the shop while I grab my phone for inspection, and continues on;

M: "i don't care what you think, you don't get to pick and choose what you do. I choose what you do. I'm the boss, you're not" "I'm not picking and choosing, I'm saying this is a pointless inspection when we know nothings wrong, and we've seen this car a million times. I'm the employee that brings in the most money and does the best inspections for the shop, fix everyone's mistakes"

After that, I pulled it in, and kept saying how dumb it was. He went up front, and when he went up front, I yelled across the shop to the other guy, saying it's pointless, and that I'm wasting my time. Guess he overheard it, and came out and kept arguing:

M: "what did you say?" "Nothing, I was talking to X. I still think this is dumb and a waste of time" M: "Do it, you have nothing else!: "I have another on my board!" M: "go home. This is not me asking you, this is me telling you. Think about your attitude."

I was in the middle of my reinspection during most of this. I understand I could've dealt with it better, but man, I cannot help to think that he had a power trip in this moment, and the moment I bit back about something, I get sent home. Mind you, this stuff is not a recurring thing. This is the first time I've been argued about my inspection.

What would you have done? I'm seriously debating on leaving because of that. Sent home after one argument, top employee, and not complaining about how he's getting paid less than everyone else right now? I can't help but to feel he bit the hand that fed him over something that could've ultimately been alleviated relatively quickly.

TL:DR: Manager and I got into a heated argument. I still performed task asked, albeit while complaining, but got sent home because of it.

TL;DR: My manager and HR asked me to provide a schedule for my urgent hospitalizations. Oh, and this is a fully remote job.

So, I was recently diagnosed with some complications from a chronic condition, and my doctor told me I needed to be hospitalized. I let my manager know that in about three weeks, I’d be in the hospital for around a week. I didn’t go into details—just gave him a heads-up.

For context, this is a fully remote job. You’d think that would make things easier, right? Wrong.

In the weeks leading up to it, I made sure to finish all my work. During our one-on-one meeting a few days before I was supposed to go in, I handed over a document with the status of my tasks. There were only a couple of small things left to follow up on, but overall, everything was under control. My manager just said, “Okay, got it.”

Then, on Monday morning—the day before my hospitalization—he calls me and asks, “Hey, can you push your hospitalization back a couple of weeks?”

I just sat there in silence. Like, what do you even say to that?

The next day, I go to the hospital. Since I don’t have access to my work email, he messages me, “Are you working today?” I reply, “No, I’m at the hospital.” He just goes, “Oh, okay.” No concern, no follow-up, nothing.

I actually reached out to HR, saying, “Hey, my manager is asking me to delay my hospitalization. What’s the issue?” And they just replied, “Probably a miscommunication.”

Fast forward a bit, and I’m back home. The hospital gave me some meds and monitored how they worked. Things seemed fine. But a few weeks later, I started feeling bad again. Same routine—call the doctor, get tests done. The doctor tells me I need urgent hospitalization. This time, I didn’t have a chance to notify my manager in advance, but I had all the medical documents proving I wasn’t just chilling at home.

Months later, the same thing happens. I start feeling bad again, go through tests, and my doctor says I need to be hospitalized again. This time, I give my manager a two-week heads-up. A week later, I remind him. Two weeks later, I’m back at work. Then my doctor tells me I need additional screenings with multiple specialists to qualify for long-term treatment.

At this point, I know this is going to be an issue at work, so I try to make a compromise. I tell my manager I’ll work during later hours (which isn’t even a problem since we have a team in another timezone) so I can still get my screenings done. He agrees.

I come back, but things at work are a mess—not because of me, but because our team simply can’t meet the deadlines set by management. My manager is pissed. Then the holiday season comes around. I even offer to cancel my vacation and take it later if needed. He tells me, “No issue, all good.”

The year ends, and since I used my paid sick days (which were part of my benefits package), I return from vacation expecting to just move on. Instead, my manager hits me with an unpleasant conversation. He says I need to count the days I worked in the evenings as sick days. I tell him I can’t—I already used up my sick leave. So then he tells me to deduct them from my vacation days. I refuse because, well, I worked those days, just later in the day.

His argument? “But they weren’t full 8-hour shifts.” My response? “True, but I worked 5-6 hours and was available for calls, even while in the hospital.”

At this point, I escalate to HR. We talk for an hour, and they basically tell me I didn’t break any sick leave policies (I used my allotted leave within the year). They also say they can’t stop me from taking sick leave in the future since I have all the necessary documents proving I wasn’t abusing the system. But then they add, “If this keeps happening, we might have to take some measures.” They don’t say what, but hint at limiting my work hours.

And all of this? Happened right after I got a raise. I had been working my ass off, trying to stay motivated despite my health issues. Even a senior manager called me personally to congratulate me and give me a bonus.

Then HR drops this final bomb: “Can you provide a schedule for when you’ll be hospitalized next?”

Yeah… let me just pencil that in for you.

Oh, and did I mention this is a fully remote job? You know, the kind where flexibility is supposed to be one of the perks?

(Some alterations were made to the story for privacy reasons.)

I recently just started a new job in January as a Safety engineer for a paper manufacturing company. I anticipated going into this job that I would be surrounded with things to do and tasks to complete, but after the first couple of weeks, it has been the complete opposite. My boss is basically non-existent. On my first day, he was around to help walk me through some things and assigned some videos for me to watch. Ever since then, all he does is stop by for maybe 5 minutes to check in and maybe suggest something to do, even though, half of the things he suggests, I can't do because I don't have access to certain things yet or my login and passwords don't work. I tell him that and all he does is shrug and say that's weird and then takes a picture of it and says he'll take care of it and get back to me. Then he'll leave and then I'm left alone to just sit there. In fact, the last few days, I haven't even seen him. On top of that, the training videos that I'm supposed to be doing won't let me move forward in completing them due to some bug in the software that I've brought up to multiple people who all simply don't know what is wrong or what is going on. I've submitted this issue to the IT help desk with no response either.

I'm starting to suspect this company has some really bad management. I don't know if I should ask my boss for something to do or if I should bring this up with someone. I'm tempted to leave early every day since I am salaried and I don't have to clock in or out, so no one will know when I arrive or leave for work. Has anyone else had any experience like this? I really feel underutilized so far.

TLDR, started a new job a couple weeks ago, I've had little to no guidance and I don't have anything to do at work.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to come on here and ask because I feel this isn’t right. My work switched ownership not too long ago and with that a new policy was implemented about phones, if anyone is caught on their phone they will doc 30 minutes from our pay, is that even legal? “If there’s an emergency have your family call the store” I just don’t think that’s right

like i can’t do this anymore i’m exhausted and i can’t give my 100% anymore and it’s becoming impossible for me to manage my personal life

I asked this question before here, and everyone here said "find a way to improve your looks". I have asked in various places about how can I improve my looks, as I am even open for plastic surgery (albeit I need money for that first), but people said there is nothing I can do to improve my looks besides plastic surgery, so I am stuck looking like that.

I wonder if I can still work as the way I look.

What do I say for the unemployment gap?

I did go to Welding School 5 years ago but I keep finding myself that its not working out. Unfortunately, I told them that, so they're gonna wonder why I came back.

I want to go part-time, to always have more time to myself. It seems my plan to find alternative employment didn't turn out so well. Nothing went according to plan.

I initially left because I didn't want to deal with liability, but unfortunately survival and money is a requirement so tough luck.

Edit: last post was so positive and understanding y’all are just rude if u didn’t read the last post and don’t know the lore than don’t comment??? Obviously?? Lol

You may have seen my last post (that has now been deleted?? SMH) asking if I was being discriminated against because of my weight- they didn’t have my size (an large or xl) and insisted on me just squeezing into a medium. They also wouldn’t let me work unless I just “wore the medium”. And though I am not large I am curvy, and cannot- under any circumstances- fit into a medium.

Well. Update. I got the uniform, and it doesn’t fucking fit. I waited a week for a uniform and she handed me SMALLS and MEDIUMS. when I walked out of the bathroom with the pile of clothes in my hands and told her that the clothes she gave me did not fit me, she shrugged and told me she’ll order new pants. So right now- even after waiting she handed me the clothes they already had in the back- TINY clothes (the jacket is so tight I cannot put my hands above my head, or close the jacket in any way) and, if you want to know why I am making this post? Because I just tried on the new pants she gave me. It’s the same size as last time. Surprise, it doesn’t fit. So now in my embarrassment, I have to go BACK in there and tell her again that they do not fit- making a work day supposed to be about work have all of the managers thinking and talking about my weight and size.

So, for the people who said that maybe they were just waiting on the sizes to come in, it has now been over two weeks- the supply has supposedly come, and I am wearing clothes that do not fit, and jeans when I’m working in the freezing wet. I literally want to lay on the floor and cry, why would they hire me if the only thing they get to know about me is that I have a massive ass that doesn’t fit in a fucking medium.

I was called in to HR today for some private group post on fb, apparently I violated their policy and termination is a possibility, I remained calm and respectful and asked if deleting the post would help and she hinted that it would but didn’t say it outright. I know HR only had the best interest in the company rather than the workers. I asked in the moment if this means im terminated immediately but their only response was to wait for a phone call and they will tell me the consequences. The post were NOT about anyone or even mentioned the company I worked for, it was just a fb group where people that have the same job post their achievements and I was doing the same, obviously the group jokes around and so did I with one of my post being captioned “it came out so beautiful, I hope it’s on birth control because I’m not pulling out” keep in mind i said this about a INANIMATE object that I made, not a person. HR labeled that as sexual harassment. Another post just showed me finishing up a project and they labeled that a safety violation. If I’m being honest it really didn’t phase me but I’m just looking at what I should do next, wait for the phone call like a sitting duck or start looking for a new job? Also I wonder if I really do have a case to fight it legally as “wrongful termination”? I’m a decent worker but the turn over rate for the place I work at is extremely high, new people get hired all the time and only last 2-3 weeks before quitting due to the physical demand it takes on your body.

I’ve joined the social committee at work (whoch has been dead since covid).

What events would you actually want to attend?

Ax throwing? Trivia bights? Wine and charcuterie? Paint and sip? I need more ideas!!

I work in a retail store as a supervisor/manager. Its a family owned store. I mostly do paperwork, resolve problems, schedule people, supervise online sales, etc.. Early October I tripped and fell breaking my knee cap and needed to do a surgery to put it back together. So i was 2 months out for recovery. When I got back to work mid December, my position was filled by someone who was under me. They gave him a big raise from, from $21/hr to $27/hr while I was making 22/hr. He work 48 hrs a week while I was only allowed 40. Now I am back i am still at the same salary, and they want me to do back area cleaning and shipping etc.. which is actually tough since my knee is not fully recovered. Not only that, I also get less than 30 hours a week. I feel betrayed and I am not sure what to do. I am 41 and my skills are limited to what I've been doing at that store for the past 14 years.

I found out I will not be getting my contract renewed because of automation. I had a professional relationship with colleagues but always tried to keep personal things out of it. My manager said he would give me a recommendation, but I'm dreading the questions and discussions about what I'm going to do afterwards. Is it terrible if I just never mention it and disappear?

I graduated last year and this is my third paid internship as I failed to find a permanent job yet. I may not have that much experience with work but what I have found weird at my new work place is resources are hoarded. photocopying you have to first ask and the admin will give you twenty papers to put in the printer while quotioning you to not waste, when the printer ink gets done,it takes days to replenish. And the worst of the worst, drinking water gets done and they take days without buying new water for drinking. We have no dispenser , nor fridge or microwave.

I just so odd especially the drinking water part.

Thoughts?

I graduated from college nearly 2 years ago and ever since then I have worked for the same company. I am in the third different position of this company.

I used to make 23/hr at a job I loved but it was very taxing and I would come home and sleep immediately until work the next morning. The problem was I wanted to go back to graduate school and I knew I wouldn’t have the spoons to do that job and school.

So I took a big pay cut and went to a different place that was sold to me as really laid back and when I expressed at my interview I “want somewhere that is just medial tasks, I clock in, do my job, clock out” and that be it the job ensured me I was in the right place. Instead I got a micromanaging manager who refused to learn the job, and also made me in charge of two locations doing two jobs that both have completely different processes and softwares. I decided it wasn’t worth the 17 an hr. I was having mental break downs and crying in the work closet all the time.

Then I moved on to something else where I am pretty much in a call center, it’s my third week here for also 17 an hr and I’m really struggling because every time I think I’m doing good and learning the job, someone has to come and point out all my mistakes. I feel like a failure and I double majored for my bachelors and can only seem to work in these low paying jobs that don’t value me and take advantage of me.

Am I the problem?

Hey all,

I've been approached by my employer regarding switching my work week from a straight day shift Monday to Friday (8hrs per) for a weekend shift. Two twelve hour shifts Saturday and Sunday in exchange for time and a quarter. ( paid for 30 hours per weekend) With the option to top up my hours through the week to hit the normal 40 hours compensation. So two twelves and a ten hour shift to make 40hrs.

I am attracted by the 3 day work week but I suspect my vacation accrual will take a hit as the calculation would be on the 24 hours worked not the 30 hours paid for. With that being said I'm thinking I would not only take away less vacation paid time but have to use more hours of vacation if I wanted an weekend off. Would use 30 hours of vacation time instead of 24 hours for a Saturday and Sunday off. With another layer of statutory pay being reduced as the calculation is on your past 20 worked days. My employer is fairly flexible if I changed my mind down the road but know deep inside I would be honor bound to fulfill what I said I would do.

Does anyone here work a weekend shift and what kind of perks do you get? Has anyone had bad/good experiences with this type of setup?

Perhaps I'm just over thinking the whole situation but thought I would poke around for some similar experience.

Not ready to pull the trigger

Thank you in advance! Appreciate any feedback.

Good morning, I've never worked with a recruiter before so not really sure how to handle this exactly. I have a good full-time job, but I was looking for a side gig to make extra money. I routinely get contacted by recruiters, and I happen to answer one of them and tell them that I was looking for something part-time to do on my own time, from home. She said she would keep an eye out and let me know.

A couple weeks after she actually texted me and let me know that she had a customer that was very interested, and needed someone to send out marketing emails on the evenings and weekends. It sounded perfect.

We went back and forth a little bit, and then I never heard back from her. When she finally got back to me, she said she got ghosted by the client.

Of course I was disappointed. I know the name of the client and I could reach out on LinkedIn. Would this be okay? Maybe they just don't want to go through the recruiter? Or does this look bad? I just figured it wouldn't hurt to reach out directly and see what happens.

Please note, this is not a self congratulatory post. I'm not here to boast about my workaholism, this is a lament.

So I have that nasty cold that is spreading like a brushfire. My job has me in contact with the public 38-45 hours a week. It was inevitable.

Fortunately, I have a good union benefits, including paid sick time. I shouldn't feel bad for using benefits that I pay for through dues, but yet I do.

I feel like shit, but I also feel like I am cheating. I'm sitting here watching movies and scrolling reddit at 9am on a Monday while somebody else is going to three supermarkets and putting 14 pallets of soda on the shelves that I was supposed to do.

I left the religion a long time ago, but I absolutely inherited the shit out of my father's Protestant Work Ethic™. My absence is excused, I will face no consequences, but a part of me feels like I should.

Can anyone relate? Has anyone broken themselves of this conditioning? I don't want to go full-on "reddit mod dog walker makes ass of himself on Fox News" either.

I’m not sure if this was just UK-based or if it even exists anymore, but I seem to remember an open forum sort of website from a few years ago that allowed employees or former employees to leave honest reviews about working for a certain company or even under a specific manager.

(Put under Employement Rights flair as I guess this is like a free speech sort of thing)

Hi guys, I have an illness which is why I had to have an operation. The diagnosis is still to come. But still my colleagues ask me what I have and if everything is OK What would be the correct answer to such a question?I want to give a politically correct answer and would rather not say too much at first.

I am a recent college graduate and I’ve spent months trying to get a job. It felt like for such a long time that was all I wanted. I was so unhappy and frustrated that I just could not find one. A few weeks ago I finally received an offer and accepted. Today I had my first day. So far it was a good first day; my colleagues and my boss seemed nice enough.

Now I’m back home. I always thought that once I got the job and started working I would just be happy and excited because I am genuinely passionate about the field I’m in. But for some reason, I’m here lying in bed and feeling dread. I don’t understand why I’m feeling this way.

I don’t know if I’m posting in the right sub or with the right flair, I just felt like I needed to let this out.

I won’t share the name of the company I work for, but I work for a Christian retail company. There has been SO much drama for stupid things. It’s crazy. Anyway, we had inventory recently. For our inventory, we have to count and audit each other ourselves. The district manager had to be there that day. He was plain nasty. I finished my section, and he grumbled and asked why I was away from the department I was counting. I literally left to ask where to move to next because I was done. He did this to another employee who works there but because he was getting a drink of water. He snapped at another coworker of mine and acted impatient when we had small questions. (We only do this once a year, and this is some of our first and second times doing this.) One of my coworkers is friends with another coworker at work. They were doing their jobs. I was near them. They weren’t talking to each other at all. Just working. One of them had a question, and the other came over to see what the issue was. They then called for help, and the DM snapped at them and said, “I DON’T WANT YOU TWO ANYWHERE NEAR EACH OTHER.” and forced one of them to work elsewhere. One of my coworkers was also late. We were supposed to come in 15 minutes early. He only came in three minutes early due to car troubles. The DM asked questions like why he was there almost at exactly the time he needed to be and asked him petty questions like, “Shouldn’t you know what’s wrong with your car?” and asking him when he got his car, etc. I heard that prompted the same DM to bring in the store manager and that employee to the back office and pull out ALL of his files reading all his tardies and previous issues back from 2020 to now and told him those things should have made him terminated by now. Even the smallest things that were never discussed with that employee. I literally tried to approach anyone but the DM to ask questions to at that point. It was awful. On another day, he interrupted me when he asked why a fixture was a certain way, and I was going to explain that the store manager asked me to keep it that way. I finally gave up because I wasn’t going to get anywhere since he kept on interrupting, and he’d just get mad at me. I think it was that same day? A coworker was caught looking at his phone on the floor. The government says we can use our phones as long as it’s for work purposes only. Apparently, the DM doesn’t want phones on the floor and yelled at that employee. He didn’t only do that but ripped up the paper like a five year old in the break room explaining that we can have our phones on the floor. I get district managers are the big people in charge, but I almost feel like this is employee harassment? It’s absurd. I almost want to call HR and complain, but I’d have to do it anonymously because I don’t want to get in trouble. I’m worried that he’ll get on me for something stupid now because I’m autistic and have ADHD and I’m not always consistent. I shouldn’t be feeling like that. This DM is extremely unprofessional and unfriendly (we used to think he was friendly until he proved otherwise), and me and quite a few of my other coworkers agree with this.

I work with children and recently we have gotten a new boss and she is the worst, i want to call out tomorrow just to have an extra day away from it but im worried about my coworkers being angry. Me and my girlfriend work together with 2 others so when one isnt there the other 3 have to pick up the slack for the extra kids. I dont want to go in tomorrow but i dont want them to be upset. Is it ok to do it?

I try to ignore him but really imposible because we have to work together in close space.Im so full of rage should just challenge to a fight in parking lot or just curse him out (please only comment if you had this issue before)
