I've had jobs where I've been a top performing employee yet the manager is still breathing over my shoulder etching my every move. I've had jobs where I've tried to blend into the background but that doesn't help either. I honestly think it's an age thing because I'm only 19 and I've noticed that the teenagers tend to get barked at and treated like idiots where the adults are treated with respect even when they mess up
Example- I used to work at a bakery. I was 18, manager was in her 50s. I had a 40 year old coworker who would purposely mess up recipes because she thought her way was better and the manager never said shit to her. Meanwhile I was the most productive employee and the manager would even compliment me on the things I baked and even offered to bring me to a third location they were going to open to help start off. But outside of those small moments she berated and screamed at me for the smallest and most insignificant things.
I've had 4 jobs and have been miserable at all of them. I'd it even possible to find a job that isn't like this?
