I work as an assistant store manager. I carry out way more than my role is meant to, and I deal with some major issues that should fall to the store manager, who has checked out and passes it all to me.

I initially applied for an Information Technology position at a local health clinic locally, within a couple days I had an email stating that I would like to be met with for an interview. I kindly responded to the email with something along the lines of “Absolutely, what available times do you have?” The IT manager says that he has an appointment for Friday (May 19, 2023) and for Thursday (May 25, 2023) I am a father of 3 with an infant that is barely a month old. I had other obligations to attend on the 19th, so I told the manager that I am available anytime on the 25th. The next day, (May 19, 2023), I got an email from the same manager…

Out of thin air, manager wanted her team member to give personality test. She even joined office like 7 months back. We are here for more than 2 years. I had an argument with her two days back and today, we have a personality test initiated by her. Fuck aggressive and childlike managers
