When everyone at your job has a problem with you, the problem is usually… well, you. But other times, your workplace is filled with a lot of bad apples. That is what happened in this case for a hotel worker whose job title was assistant general manager. Her GM was out of town, so she was left in charge of the hotel. Only a couple of problems arose, and OP made sure to text her manager about them. She thought it was all good, but apparently, it was not. Her manager came back from his trip and ca…

Sometimes you get wonderful general managers to lead you and have your back and sometimes you don't. Too often on Reddit and other sources online you read about upper management being completely incompetent and pushing employees to quitting. But not this time! Finally, we have a story from Reddit that shows just how awesome a manager can actually be. A hotel employee was working the front desk, doing her job like normal. She has worked there for over 40 years, so they're basically an expert at…

It is not in a company's best interest to have their employees gather and hold a discussion about how much they are being paid, but it is certainly in the employee's best interest. Back when I was floor manager at a restaurant, I remember finding out that people who were way newer than I was at the job were getting about one dollar more than me.

As the big dog at the dog park, they notoriously rampage around the others, nipping the heels of every loyal employee, defiling the sanctity of the workplace with their talk of ‘disruption’, and forcing their handlers to pick up every doo-doo in their wake.

It's ironic how few effective management skills "managers" possess, with their leadership abilities sitting around the same level, which is somewhere around zero. Managers love a good buzzword, but action orientation is not their strong suit. In this case, OP was working as a top-producing salesperson, in charge of training several salespeople and getting their numbers up, which OP did well. An opportunity for a promotion popped up, and OP thought they had the experience as well as the skills n…

There's nothing like working a really demanding job and not getting support from your manager. It really just puts the salt directly to the wound, doesn't it? If you have ever worked retail, then you know exactly how demanding it is. The actual work you do for the store, like restock, organizing, etc. isn't the hard part. The most difficult part is dealing with the customers and, let's be honest, your coworkers. If you don't have a team that can work together, then you are going to fail. That b…
