Just because I hate my boss. That’s really all. I have enough money saved to not work for two months and now I’m just biding my time.
I’m a manager at a restaurant. Today we had a manager meeting. The GM praised the other two managers for coming in in their days off, staying late, etc, etc… we all work about 55 hrs a week, sometimes 60. They believe I don’t. My time logs say differently. She told me that I need to “work on coming in early, staying late, and coming in on my days off.” I’ve worked there 6 months. I’m always available. Last week she asked me if I could work Monday. I was annoyed but said okay.
Then Sunday night she was like “I know you’re not happy about working Monday so…”
“it’s really not a problem!” I said back
“No I got it covered!”
Okay. But Tuesday for the first time in 6 months I have plans with friends. They call me in, I say no. Fats forward to today. They tell me I need to work on it. I say okay, but you know I’m already clocking 60 hrs a week. It sucks. Why am I doing this? I’m 22. I’m the only other woman manager. She has a know record of being awful to other woman managers. This lady is 53 and it feels like she’s trying to be my mom, it feels like arguing with a parent. They don’t let me do any managerial stuff. My mom told me next time she’s rude to me I should walk out.
I fucking laughed. We have 7 gigantic catering orders going out on Saturday. I thought about just not showing up on Saturday. That would be so funny, the chaos of it all. And it wouldn’t effect anyone but the managers. Lol. But I thought walking out in the middle of the day was a good option too. Right after she tells me how awful I am again. I don’t know. I also wanted to push my limits and see what happens. They made me design a team meeting for the servers and cooks and it’s dumb asf. Very low effort but she already shot down my ideas. Then in the meeting said I had disappointed her and she refused to look at what I made like 3 times, just insisting it was bad with no guidance. When I get to work tomorrow and she inevitably criticizes it maybe I’ll just pack my bags and head on out.
All I know is I’m fucking done. I’ve got interviewed galore coming up and enough savings for 2 months and even then I’ll probably just got back to doing Uber again for a bit 🤷️
