He’s the assistant manager actually, and he’s said one thing and then done the opposite a few times, kinda puts me off working there.
A few weeks ago a colleague rang in sick. He asked if I could do her evening work (was meant to finish at 5 and it would mean finishing at 9).
I couldn’t as it was too short notice as I had made plans, and told him this. He said no problem, I looked at my rota an hour later and he had put the work on there regardless.
I was really annoyed as I had family coming and had been clear I couldn’t do the work. I complained to the manager above him who took the work off my rota.
Another time, he told me how he’s a very ‘fair’ person and he wouldn’t send someone out (community job) for under an hour’s work. Then this week he sends me out for 45 minutes of work, then nothing for 3 hours.
Been told by him that he’d pay me double for overtime and then he never did.
There have been 2 people off sick this week, I’ve been given their hours. He didn’t ask if I minded doing 14-hour days several days in a row, just piled the work onto me.
I don’t mind if I am asked first, I told him twice that it’s too much for me but he didn’t seem to care.
He assured me that I would be only working 6 hours on Thursday. An hour later I looked at the rota and it had changed to 9 hours.
I just think he’s sly and doesn’t really care about the staff, plus a liar.
When I told him I didn’t want 14-hour days he basically said, well you’re off for a couple of days next week so what do you expect. I am taking annual leave that I’m perfectly entitled to.
I had to nip into the office for something and he was there, I noticed him looking me up and down when he was speaking to me which made me uncomfortable.
Does anyone else have a colleague/management like this. I have to work directly with him sometimes and once he told me ‘You’d make such a good manager one day’, I just find him false and snaky.
