i work at a grocery store as a deli clerk, and last night, the assistant manager of the deli called me to move my shift from today to tomorrow instead. i agreed. this morning, the store manager called me and immediately started yelling at me about how i was late for my shift, and that my coworkers were waiting for me to be able to go on break.
i explained to him that the assistant manager moved my shift to thursday, and the store manager told me i should have asked upper management if that was okay first. i told him i assumed it was not my responsibility but the deli manager’s. he then scoffed and said “i’m going to call her to see what’s really going on.”
i didn’t get a call back so i assume the deli manager backed up what i had told him, but i’m so put off by how aggressive and rude he was to me. part of me wants to just quit right now but i need to get a different job lined up first. just wanted to share how out of touch managers can be sometimes 🥲
