I'm new to the Antiwork sub, but I was hoping to get some input on this matter. So I've been a part of this company for a year now. Everything has been fine. No major complaints. But we got a new Manager recently. She's all about getting things done and has been the best manager thus far…but her boyfriend got hired on at the same time. He's a nice guy, but he hasn't even been here a year yet and he's already gotten a work vehicle, all his tools, and two certifications, and he got turned loose with no supervision. (A side note ~ he hasn't done this work before) I was just able to get my first certification, but I still don't have a work vehicle, and I'm still a helper. Another thing – He acts like he has some sort of special authority and holds secret information since he dates the boss. Also, one morning, he didn't want to drive 10 minutes out of his way to pick me up at a carpool spot, so instead, I drove an Hour and 15 minutes to the job in my personal vehicle. And on my way, he called me and tried to lecture me because I was running late from getting stuck in traffic.
Has anyone been in a situation like this before? Is something like this even allowed at work? Am I just thinking about this too much? I'm getting pretty disgruntled and I'm scared this might get worse.
