tonight it got bad enough at work that i cried. i actually had to grab the keys to look like i was being helpful and i had to take myself into the handicap stall and calm myself down. i was crying over a freaking hostess job. i was so pissed at the situation. and thinking about it, it's all because of our gm. he decides to cut early and leave us one short. awesome. so he's "helping" us. aka retelling me how to do my job and reprimanding everytime i'm doing something he doesn't think i should be.
he doesn't even know his fucking table numbers. you're a fucking owner. figure them out before you tell ME i'm wrong. and man he can put on a show and sweet talk the customers. but to employees? he's an ass. he worked with roberta all night. after she left he didn't even know her name. i was just treated like absolute shit. and being 20 and having as many retail/customer hourly paid jobs, i know when i'm being treated like shit. the lead host had made a mistake in quoting. it happens. but he made it ten times worse. and he strucutred it so i was doing 10 times more work then everyone around me. he yelled at me for picking up the phone. mutha fucka. oh and today was his birthday. so i ate a giant piece of his cake and didn't even wish him a happy birthday. i can't be nice to someone who ruined my day.
so if you ever are a manager or supervisor of any sort, especially a part owner of an establishment, treat your employees with a grain of respect. if they screw, up them give constructive crticism. don't be an ass, when they are working there ass off for no tips whatsoever. they're doing it for you, so you can make a buck from drunk people with too much money. i make a point to know my shit and do a good job, like my coworkers this evening. respect that and i'll actually want to go to work.
if this happens again, i'm putting in my two weeks. the other managers are great people, but if a fucking manager causes me to cry at my 2nd job, there's no way i'm going to deal with his bullshit and feel like i'm the bad guy.
i apologize for the bitchiness but i had to rant.
with that in mind, i'm spending tomorrow in brainerd on the beach. thank god!
