I felt humiliated today

[pinenuts75]

At work today my manager brought us some treats in for Easter, I had a biscuit and was eating it on the shop floor, she actually told me off I felt like a naughty school girl, she told me to hide it, I felt so humiliated, this isn’t the first time she’s done things like this, is she bullying me?

What?

seems it, certainly a Machiavellian manager

She doesn’t single you out, OP. You SINGIE yourself out with inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.

Really went for what?

Good lord.

Agree. She doesn't have to like anyone but has to be professional as a manager. Staff should also be professional at work and not eat on the shop floor. I would think that went without saying but here we are.
And now the OP doesn't want to speak about the reason they started the thread because the overwhelming response was she was being unreasonable and childish. 🤷‍♀️

Some rules don't need saying out loud. Everyone else understood the assignment.

Are you in your twenties?

I’m fed up with being bashed for eating a bloody biscuit for fuck sake

No are you?

Were other colleagues eating on the shop floor also?
If so did she say anything to them too?

Of course she didn’t say anything to them

Define a long time please.
How many years.

I don’t know how much clearer I can say I shouldn’t have ate a biscuit on the shop floor

Doesn't matter what it was, it's considered very bad manners to eat on the shop floor.

shes not bullying you, she's trying to maintain standards. She shouldn't have had to tell you.

@MashedBark Work hard all you want if you're going to be a child and can't work your shift without digging into your goodie bag then you won't be employee of the month again. Although I assume it's one of those things where everyone gets a go to appear fair. Not because it was deserved.

That’s just a mean thing to say and totally unnecessary. Really nasty.

They were in the tea room I didn’t finish mine in time from walking from the tea room to the shop floor, she told me to hide it.

No, it's that people know you shouldn't eat in front of customers/clients? You would be perfectly fine sitting talking to your doctor while they munched on a biscuit? So unprofessional. That's what breaks are for.
