my boyfriend worked his ass off for this company for 3 years, when hired on he was pretty much promised the GM position from day one. after 3 years of grinding and being treated like shit by a boss who couldn’t handle his temper, he finally got the position, but at $5/hr than he was originally offered. he still took it because he loved the job and his coworkers and with the hope of upward mobility.
however, as soon as he took over the position, he had no training and was expected to know how to do everything, was now being blamed for others mistakes, and taking the brunt of all of the owners temper tantrums. after being blamed for somebody else’s mistakes yet again, the owner blew up on him and told him that “maybe he wasn’t GM material.” that was the final straw for my boyfriend.
he immediately started looking for other jobs, and on his customer service alone was able to find a job giving him the same amount starting pay that his old company gave him for his GM pay, that requires way less effort and experience. it’s been a few days and he already loves it. he now realizes how much his old job was using him and how shit the pay was for the position. his new boss even offered to personally buy him a laptop if he wanted to do online college.
i am so very proud of him 🙂
TLDR: bf finally got GM position but got shit pay and dealt with toxic workplace, immediately got another, much better job that is way easier with the same pay just starting out.
