Ok teamliquid.net, I write this today in order to ask you, the people of teamliquid, to be the jury of this following story.
Today at work (restaurant) I came in as usual wearing the same clothes as I usually do and doing the same good job I usually do. That is until a new manager at work who usually jokes and says sarcastic remarks to me ask me about my belt I am wearing. The issue was that it was brown instead of black and I usually wear it all the time I go to work and no managers ever say anything etc. So she goes on and I immediately think shes joking with me. (She always teases me about things jokingly at work and laughs with me to verify we are joking.) I begin to walk away saying "Haha, I'm not going to fall for that", she then says, "you aren't wearing proper uniform so I am going to send you home." (still like she would usually talk when we are joking). Taking this as the continued joke I begin to walk away thinking there are more tables that need to be done and then all of a sudden she immediately raises her voice and screams "don't walk away from me!". At this point i'm like wow SHE IS FOR REAL. So I'm standing there while the whole kitchen is staring wide eyed at her as she tells me to follow me to her office and proceeds to write me up. Now please understand I am very polite to everyone at work and everyone thinks I am a good worker (they tell me every day i work). I understand that she should be mad if we never talked and didn't have sarcastic conversations every time we run into each other but wtf.
Edit: I did say sorry for offending her immediately afterwards but she still wrote me up.

just tell her you thought she was kidding, and that you're sorry.
|
Tell her sorry the grab her boobs
EDIT : She is hot right?
|
What a fucking psycho-bitch. You should quit your job and humiliate her in front of the other kitchen staff while you resign. If quitting is not an option, you just have to act the nice guy. Have a quiet chat with her asap. Explain to her you thought it was all a jest, you are sorry etc. Otherwise she sounds like the type of whore that will torture you while you work if she has a grudge.

Omigosh, a brown belt, now people will think you don't work there, or that you're unprofessional. What a retard. Public service workforce is miserable. She could have at least just given you a warning for the day.
IMHO I think she's abusing you for something unrelated that's happened in her life, and it's total bullshit.
|
fuck that shit. i had a similar experience with one of my previous bosses. if you let them get away with that kind of shit repeatedly just because they're not in a good mood, then they'll keep it up. tell her respectfully that the way she treated you was unacceptable.
|
hahaha fucking woman. Someone probably belittled her and now she is taking it out on who ever she can. Just talk to the other managers or owner and explain the situation. You also have witnesses, use them to back you up about how crazy of a bitch she it. She cant just be a crazy bitch like that. Dont stand for shit like that.

Something tells me when she says "I asked him twice calmly," other managers aren't going to see it his way. It was miscommunication too, which is I why I have sympathy for him, but saying "don't stand for that shit," is like... Well it's retarded. What exactly is he gonna do? He's just gotta say he thought she was kidding (which he already knows).
|
I would have quit immediately. It would piss me off immensely.
|
You APOLOGIZED IMMEDIATELY AFTER?
Some people are so okay with being pushed around, it's fucking SICKENING.
Like others have said, get a new job, and make sure you make your exit from this one as colorful as possible. Fuck power-hungry bitches.
|
write ups are nothing, who cares. she was probably on the rag. managers will never fire you if business is good. so you can be the shittiest mofo there and still have a job if the resturant is busy. however, no matter how great you are and business is slow. find another job.

Truly the best way to get a reference and build your resume :D
|
Do your own write-up and give it to the boss.
|
Don't worry about it. It's not your fault.
|
Ya I really didn't want to apologize because I didn't think I needed to but I really need to keep this job atm (at least until I find a better one) and I was hoping she had seen that I didn't mean anything by it and simultaneously seen how irrational she had acted.
|
Oh god you have the sad type of retarded manager who gets mad at trivial shit because her life is a goddamned mess and will never rise above the level of shitty manager.
Just completely ignore her from now on.
|
wtf she sounds like she was a completely different person that day
|
In ~4 weeks time you should be especially careful.

for a seemingly liberal person rekrul sure offers conservative advice
anyways don't do anything drastic... i'm sure it can be one of those things you can laugh at in the future ; she seems like a somewhat fun person, just on that one occasion . wasn't ?
or you can be all psychologist-y and be like ...that wasn't a scream at me,
...that was a cry for help !
and ask her what's wrong
|
The beauty of bullshit jobs like this that won't have any effect on your career: you can tell your boss to fuck off and it won't have any effect on you!

Don't knuckle under to her. To best preserve your relationshipw ith her, I think you should talk to her. Tell her straight up that you don't appreciate being treated that way, that belt color doesn't have anything to do with how well your working or presenting a professional facade, and that you aren't going to work under the burden of her whims (do this all nicely of course). If she responds badly to that, then I would talk to her superiors (assuming you know them already, and complaining about her won't have you come off as a spoiled brat).
If all else fails, you really should quit. Working for a petty tyrant like that isn't worth it.
