Hello all and welcome to my first post on here! I usually lurk but this week has tested my patience so much that I need to talk about it. I work in a resturaunt in the middle of an area that gets a lot of traffic from tourism.
A few months ago, new management took over including a new general manager. I think I'm the only one who absolutely despises the general manager also, but this isnt about him. This is about my assistant manager, who I'll call John (for the sake of anonymity).
John at first seemed okay, and I respected his positive personality, but this entire week showed me why I need to keep reminding myself that all managers are the same: disrespectful assholes. John decided I was easy to pick on, and not only has he publicly embaressed me while I was working (I was reading my college textbook on my phone, he decided to yell at me from across the resturaunt over it. I got a pity note saying I was awesome from a customer who saw the whole thing.) but he also berated me in front of all of my coworkers after I made a minor mistake not noticing one of the food mods on a ticket.
Im pissed at the last one not only because it was humiliating, but it was also my 1 year HRT anniversary. I wanted to celebrate, but since no one covered my shift I showed up happy and left feeling depressed and overall pretty shitty. I called out of work the next day, citing some bullshit reason that worked and now I'm going in today, but Im not sure I can hold out any longer.
I wont lie, I am a big baby. I dont really stick up for myself since I hate feeling angry and aggressive. This entire situation just reminds me of my previous assistant manager who used to to the same thing to a few of us (me and my coworkers) until I got used to it and he stopped.
Im currently job searching, which is hard since i havent donenan interview since working here for 2.5 years, but I'm desperate to leave this hellhole before it gets worse.
