TMI Manager

Sooo… up stressed out because I have to work with my General Manager tonight and I just can’t even. She might just be the most overly sharing manager that I’ve ever had the displeasure of working for. A while back she mentioned that because she was molested she has a condition that causes her to be promiscuous. As a decent human being and a mom, hearing that anyone has been through that type of trauma angers and saddens me. I’m truly sorry that she experienced this. But here’s the thing. I’m a minimum wage worker delivering food. While I’m in the store it’s minimum wage and when I’m on the road it’s less than that plus tips. I’m not a counselor nor do I want to act as one for my young boss and her myriad self esteem issues. Even though I have repeatedly told her that I don’t want…


Sooo… up stressed out because I have to work with my General Manager tonight and I just can’t even. She might just be the most overly sharing manager that I’ve ever had the displeasure of working for. A while back she mentioned that because she was molested she has a condition that causes her to be promiscuous. As a decent human being and a mom, hearing that anyone has been through that type of trauma angers and saddens me. I’m truly sorry that she experienced this. But here’s the thing. I’m a minimum wage worker delivering food. While I’m in the store it’s minimum wage and when I’m on the road it’s less than that plus tips. I’m not a counselor nor do I want to act as one for my young boss and her myriad self esteem issues. Even though I have repeatedly told her that I don’t want to hear anything personal, she has repeatedly caught me off guard with her sharing when I thought she was going to say something work related. It’s bad. She told me when she was sleeping with her assistant manager and that he “filled her like a Twinkie every Tuesday night”. 🤢 Then she told him that she told me about them so that was super awkward. She’s told me about her roommate, her “friends”, and her only fans. But when I need to text her about anything job related, she doesn’t respond. I texted her to let her know that I didn’t have child care and wouldn’t be able to come in the next day and she didn’t respond. I finally called the store so that I could let someone know. And when I said that I never heard back from her, his response was, “oh yeah, she sleeps during the day and her phone blows up with all the guys looking to smash. It’s late so try her now”. Like seriously?! Can we keep a modicum of some type of professional boundaries. Then last week I’m in the office trying to cash out so I can leave and she said she needs a girl’s opinion on a sign she saw at a gas station. I was dubious so I reminded her that I didn’t want to know anything personal. She said no it’s not just an opinion and then scrolls up to a d-k pic. I lost it. Told her I’m here to work not deal with that. She acted embarrassed and then said she didn’t mean to show me that. Said she “actually meant to show me something funny about a cum sponge”. WTH!?!! I know it sounds crazy but I actually used to love my job when I first started. I’m qualified to do work in an office environment but I really don’t like being cooped up in an office. So when I started this six years ago it was great. As soon as the chaos began and the customers acted up I got to leave on another delivery. Since then there’s been new owners, new managers, new employees, increasing gas prices and delivery fees which means smaller tips, and now we have to wait to the following week to get our tips. I’ve stayed primarily because of my daughter. I don’t want to put her in daycare and this job is super flexible. Fortunately I’m able to make ends meet on a part time schedule but even so, I DREAD going to work now. Especially when I know I have to deal with her. There’s been multiple other incidents that were less disgusting and more passive aggressive. That don’t bother me nearly as much but still suck. She’s made snide remarks and comments about my appearance “oh I see you finally died your roots- just keeping it real”. We wear our hair up and in hats so umm… yeah. I’m literally twice her age and happily in a monogamous relationship so it’s not like we’re in competition for the same guys- yuck. And even if I wasn’t twice her age, I believe in quality NOT quantity. But the comments are still obnoxious. Unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to suck it up until I can replace the income with something else that’s as flexible. Anyway, sorry for the book. I just really needed a chance to vent.
