Long story short I’m a new employee at a business, been here for about 2 weeks. My department has 10 full time employees including myself. Since before I was even hired my now boss has been a pain in the ass to the point I’m ready to quit.
-
First, my manager would not respond to emails promptly during the hiring process. I had to actually call other departments in order to get into contact with her to confirm time sensitive information and emails that had been sitting in her inbox for days. I had to just show up the morning of the tentative interview day I proposed because she didn’t respond to two emails and a phone call in a weeks time.
-
I was told the position would hold a regular schedule of 9am to 5pm or 1pm to 9pm. I have only been scheduled for alternating time slots starting at 9am, 10am and 11am.
-
I overheard my manager talking to another long term employee saying they, “hate managing people”. They knew I was in earshot and she didn’t try to clarify the statement or be discreet about it.
-
I just got told I was in volition of an office dress code by someone in another department. The handbook says that it’s manager discretion as to what is appropriate and what isn’t. The COO said it wasn’t appropriate and when I told them my manger hadn’t said anything to me about it, they told me to “ask them about it”.
-
My manager told me I need to do work related reading outside of work on my free time and I won’t be allocated time on the office to do it
-
My manager scheduled me to work 48hrs this week despite company staffing not needing mandatory overtime
-
Because there are no set weekends or days off I asked my manager to have one day a week off regularly each week to afford some semblance of a work-life balance to take care of personal things. I was told by my manager that probably won’t happen because I’m “new”
No idea who the HR person at the office is and the only person above the manager I’m aware of is the owner of the business. Really trying to stay positive and don’t want to burn bridges but I can’t stay here even 2 weeks notice in a toxic environment like this. Any advice appreciated!
