My Bitch Boss

My boss has always been a bitch with a bobble-headed brain, and full of catch-22’s. She would say one thing and turn around and say almost the completely opposite, and always denies saying the first thing. She has also always stated, “I’m the owner, I can do what I want.” She especially states that when I correct her on something, especially rules. I state to her that with her the owner, she is the one setting the example of what needs to be followed, not just by statement, but especially actions. She brushes it all off and continues to do exactly what she chooses, and jumps on me and my crew when we do the same exact thing that she has done, stating that it’s against the rules to do that.

Well recently a couple months ago, we had an inspection by a Corporate Office Representative, and the inspection went badly, especially with the crew following what our boss has stated to follow. My crew was doing exactly what our boss wanted to, and the Inspector found it incorrect and chewed out my boss later, and she denied stating to the crew to do things in a specific way, which was her way. Shortly after his meeting and scolding of her and her husband, she came down on everyone. She started to visit and hang around both of her stores, yelling at us and correcting us in front of customers. This itself turned away many of the customers that were going to patron us, and she blamed the loss of sales on us, not seeing that what she herself was doing was wrong.

Come about three weeks ago, we found out that she and her husband were closing their second store because they went broke. She started to visit our store daily and bring her bitchiness to a higher level, and degrading all of us in the process while we were working. The busier it got during the day, the bitchier she got. She did not see anything wrong in her behavior toward any of us.

A couple weeks ago when she scheduled herself to open with me, she came forty minutes late, twenty minutes before we were supposed to open. I fortunately arrived an hour earlier to get things started and ready, having the feeling that she was going to be late again. During that day, she was jumping on us like always and not really helping us while working. She was calling our cook slow because they weren’t getting the orders out fast enough. She did not want to realize that having two cashiers taking orders, and expecting one cook to do all the family sized orders all by herself. Our cook was and is always very fast, but even the fastest cook can not handle that high volume of orders at once, and expect to get each order out in less than three minutes once they appear on the screen. I tried to tell her that our cook needs help, but that went ignored. During that day, she was letting everyone else go and get their meal break, but because of my position she expected me to get my break last, and I was working a twelve-hour shift. She also knows that I have to eat for I’m almost diabetic. My crew was stating to her that I need to eat for they could see that I needed to or else be in danger of passing out and slipping into a seizure. She blatantly stated, “No,” and said that I could wait till everyone else was done with their break. My crew was more worried about me and was willing to put off their break as long as I got mine first, but they ended up having to take their breaks first under the promise that I was going to get mine soon.

Once that last person finished their break, they asked if I could take mine and eat even if it was for ten minutes. She blatantly stated, “NO!! He does not need one for he is about to leave in a couple hours.” My boss knows that medically I have to eat or else my blood-sugar drops too low, but she flat-out did what she wanted and put my own health in danger. I fought as hard as I could physically to keep going and maintained from not passing out nor going into a seizure till I was able to finally get some food into me after I finished work, which was right after I got home for I barely made the bus right after my boss finally let me leave. I told my wife about what my boss did and her refusal to let me eat, and she saw how hungry I was for I ate all my food cold and right there. Me and my wife were very furious at my boss about this. My crew is also very angry at her as well for that day. Our anger toward our boss also has been increasing due to her negative nature and berating words to us during work. We are all planning on quitting and leaving at the same exact time, and they are waiting on me to do it first for I’m going to give our boss the riot-act report.

What made my feelings even worse and going to up the time-table of my quitting was when my boss on Thursday decided to berate and scold me even more. I had to make a bank run during our lunch time to have enough cash on hand for the coming weekend. Thursday was the latest to do it for Fridays and Saturdays are too busy for me to leave the store, and the bank is crowded on those days. My boss arrived at the store twenty minutes before we closed, and waited outside in the lobby till we finally closed before she called me out to talk to her. She then stated to her that I broke her rules for leaving the store during lunch, which she did not admit was the only time that their were three people in the store for me to do it, and after lunch there was only going to be one crew person and me. She did not want to accept that I could not run to the bank and leave that one person alone for all that time. She also did not want to accept the fact that we needed cash, but I knew that we did for I know how it goes on the weekends while she is home lounging around and dictating to us on the phone from what she sees on the camera.

She stated directly to my face that I’m the major stress factor in her life, a waste of time, and a waste of money. She called me worthless and that my management skills were that of a child.

The plain truth is that I’ve been in the food and customer service business for almost fifteen years while she has only been in it for three years since she first bought the business. Since my arrival at the stores, sales have increased despite the nature of the poor economy that is decreasing sales everywhere. Customer relations have been very positive and all my customers stated to me that the main reason why they come to our store is because of my constant positive presence, and the teamwork that we all do in the store for customer-service. We have provided constant and positive results whenever our boss is not there, and things go bad when she is there cause of her negative and berating nature. I’ve also been told by other people that frequent and work in the mall that they don’t like my boss because of her being a bitch, and they now refuse to come to our store whenever she is present.

Despite my plan on quitting, my boss is still being a bitch directly to me during my duration there and each thing is making me want to tell her to shove it up her ass and to point out to her that her management skills are that of a temperamental child. Just because she is the owner, it does not mean that she gets to behave and do whatever she wants, and it for sure does not mean she has to be a constant bitch to all those that work under her. I have a full shit-load of facts and truths to shove down her throat, including the fact that she and her husband went bankrupt in the first place is because they don’t know how to run a business with their poor business and negative work ethics.

What is still keeping me for just a couple more weeks is to make sure that I get a full paycheck for my family to pay the bills and mortgage while I’m starting my new job and waiting for my first paycheck.

My body and mind can barely handle the stress that my boss puts me through, including paying me very little while working sixty-hour weeks. I was making more money being a regular manager at McDonalds then during my time of being a Store Manager for my boss.
