I've had multiple jobs and it seems like every manager or supervisor I've had is exactly the same. They all seem like “bootlickers” who only care about profits and pleasing the higher-ups, and they're always condescending, unreasonable, and fake. It's like they're all cut from the same cloth. They all refuse to give overtime, doing everything possible to prevent that–but it's not like their salary is affected! I just don't understand it, how entitled and bitter they are. Every single one of them. It's not even their business!
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just me or is this a common issue in the workplace? How do you deal with it? I'm so tired of working for people who don't seem to care about their employees and only care about their own success and bootlicking to corporate.
No, you are not a factory owner in the 1920s. You are a manager/lead at a Retail Store.
