He claims I’m not happy with my current role of supervisor and my people management skills need work when he’s hired nothing but useless kids who give me attitude when I instruct them to do a task (I’m a chill supervisor who knows working is bullshit) or don’t listen to me yet I can’t be more stern with them as I get disciplined or laughed at when I report this issue, I’m constantly left understaffed and have been bullied and ostracised by older members of staff who constantly start fights with younger members of staff, I’m just about done with this place £9 an hour is not worth the stress at my age (20) I’m hoping this is just because my boss is in a bad mood but it’s just made me feel hopeless as no other job will interview me and I get rejected straight away.
