Upper management sucks

So at my job, we lost 5 of our employees this summer. We now have barely enough people working. But we also had to fire one of our three managers (because he was drinking on the job, wtf). So now we have a general manager, and a regular manager. The regular manager goes to college full time, and is working a full time job each week (40 hours of work, plus school). The general manager works whenever the other manager can't work, and vice versa. Each are working about 40 hours a week, plus dealing with their personal lives. So here's where everything sucks even more.

Our regional manager is an asshole. We've complained to him that we need help in the management area, because the two managers are going insane. What do we get as a response? We're ignored. And then we tell the Hospitality manager that we need help. What else? We get ignored. He deliberately ignores any phone calls made to him by us. We go one step above him to his boss, and complain to them. What happens? We're told that we have to go back to the Hospitality manager.

Our upper management sucks. The two managers are not recieving any of the help they need. Now the general manager put in his 30 days about a week ago. And the other manager (the one going to school full time) is threatening to quit because he can't handle pretty much two full time jobs (which is understandable). And none of the upper management is helping us, which is horrible, and makes me even want to quit, because once the two managers we have now are gone, we (the rest of the employees) are going to be stuck with *horrible* management.

YOu originally had three managers. One of them got fired, so that leaves the regular manager and the general manager. Both of them are quitting. Who's managing the store now, you? That'd be something I'd like to do but I'll never get promoted...oh well.

Sounds like the typical circle jerk that corporate management pulls on their subordinates. The district manager at McDonalds here (I worked for this place during school) would drag the store managers through the dirt and he'd act like he's so smart and sophisticated and that everyone below him is a retard......wouldn't be surprised if he's fired now and living in his mother's icebox.

"David, did you take out the trash?"
"No, Mom, I didn't!!!!"
"Get that trash out now, you fatass bum"

Think about it when this regional 'manager' comes around to give you grief.
