Title pretty much says it all. I was a Manager in Training at a popular “Mexican” restaurant and walked out today because my boss made it clear that he doesn’t care about the feelings of his employees, and that is his way or leave.
For some context a manager made inappropriate comments about some crew member, she said he had the good D on the floor to people while coworker wasn’t there. Coworker finds out is pissed and GM blames the person who told coworker and doesn’t punish the manager.
Says that I have to learn to understand what he means not what he says. Told me to tell two guys rolling something green on a table that they can’t do that here. So I tell him and he says how did kicking them out go. I responded with you told me to tell them not to do it, not to kick them out. He says that it was implied, I reminded him I’m ND and that I don’t always get implied and you have to be direct with me and he goes that’s not my problem.
He also makes jokes about sexuality and trans employees constantly, but acts like the jokes are not bad.
He allows shift managers to bully crew members who don’t speak up for themselves. We had an employee who had a BO issue for a few days and instead of addressing it just let all the shift leads make jokes about it constantly. I finally put my foot down and got told by the employee i was the only manager or trainee to treat them like a human.
Also finally If you question anything it’s insubordination like why we have 1 person running service with 5 people in the kitchen standing around but the service person needs to do all the cleaning while the kitchen takes breaks constantly.
Today he wanted to coach me about being more of a big picture person and that I have to view crew as tools to get the job of running his store done and yeah I finally had enough and walked out.
