I work in a restaurant and get on really well with the assistant manager,I worked 5pm till midnight last night and then after our shift a few of the staff and the assistant manager sat talking and having a laugh til the early hours.
I was supposed to start at 12pm today but the assistant manager was opening up and wasnt feeling well so I offered to go in early and help her set up (unpaid due to budget issues)
When I got to work this morning she was really ill and shouldnt have been there but had no one to cover her shift so I made her go and sit in the office and I set up all on my own and helped organise the other staff so that she wasnt needed on the floor. It was a tough shift but we got through it.
The general manager came in just after 4pm and just started moaning about everything, I was supposed to finish at 5pm so when the girl came in who was taking over from me I asked the manager if I could hand over my tables and she said that she wanted the restaurant completely sorted before I went which was fine so I started getting stuff done and was waiting for some cutlery to be washed so I could polish it when a customer approached me and asked me about having our mascot out on the floor for the kids so I said I would speak to the manager and see what I could do. I went up to her and before I even opened my mouth she started laying into me about getting the cutlery done before I went and to stop pestering her! I explained that I was only there to ask about the mascot, she sent someone to get changed into the costume and walked off.
I ended up in the toilets crying my eyes out because I was so upset with the way she was treating me- I didnt mind helping set the restaurant up but to shout at me without hearing what I said really upset me!
So I got the cutlery polished and she came up and asked why I had tears in my eyes and I said i was upset so she told me to go and sort my cash out. I went to the office and as nice as pie she asked if I had my cash out sheet I said no and she went and fetched it.
She asked why I was upset and I burst into tears and before I had a chance to explain she started laying into me again!
There is a supervisor post coming up which I had applied for and she mentioned that in a way that said "well your not getting that now" so i cashed up and left and came home and Im still crying now.
I just cant get over the way she treated me after everything I have done to help out today.
I dont want to go back and dont know what to do next. Should I write her a letter explaining how I feel or should I just carry on as normal?
I have 2 days off now so want to know what to do when I due back?
The manager is 6 months pregnant and although I understand about hormones I dont think she should be allowed to get away this kind of behaviour,maybe I shouldnt have let it upset me so much but I work my ass off for them and just get shit on in return
Sorry for the long rant
