I don't get paid to snitch

Submitted by pearly_sweet on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 05:32.

I work at this place and there are three old ladies there that don't like me. So they like to watch me and report every little thing I do to the manager.

So the other day, my manager pulled me aside to talk to me about my problems.
- I talk too much
- I lie on my time card
- I take long breaks

So I told her that they do the same shit, and so does everyone else. It's just that I don't report it because it doesn't concern me. Then she told me that I have to report these things or otherwise, I'll be the only one that looks bad.


To the boney old crow

Ever since you heard me talk dirty (jokingly) to one of the guys, you've taken this as an invitation to start asking all the guys there about their sex life and flirting with them.

It's okay when me or the other girls do it because we're 20, but you're 60 YEARS OLD!! It's CREEPY. STOP IT.


The Bipolar Hippo

So the restaurant I was working at closed down, and I was transferred to a new store as an hourly manager. My new boss, the Bipolar Hippo, is horrible. And I mean horrible.

She has the worst mood swings that I have ever seen from anyone in my entire life. For instance, last Tuesday night I was closing, we needed extra food cooked for a huge order the next day. Well, we were busy. And by busy, I mean BUSY. We ran out of food several times, with wait times building up. So after we closed, I got a call from my boss, who was off that day.


Seeing it from both sides

OK, I am now in a position to see the problems from both sides and I have to tell you, emotion, ego and lack of self control cause almost every damn skirmish between managers and staff. And the fault lays squarely with the managers, people who are chosen and paid well (most of them) to manage and mentor others! To make sure that the company remains productive and profitable...You need to go to bat for the people who answer to you, even when they are wrong, and tell them after the fact that they weren't right, but never in front of other managers. And how do you do that?
