Is my Boss an (insert profanity here)?

[SubDad]

I'd start looking for another job ASAP. Don't burn any bridges, but don't look back.

When you're applying for jobs in your field you need to have a previous boss (from whatever job) that will say when asked; "Great guy, hard working, his shift loved him and we're sorry to lose him, but we wish him well - you're getting a great employee."

Don't burn any bridges, but get out and get yourself a good recommendation.

In about a decade, somebody on a hiring board will ask, "Tell us about how you dealt with a difficult situation with a boss." You'll be ready!

And never criticize anybody but your two year old in public, and be discrete with them, too.

However, my boss's wife

Uhmm what? So she's not your actual boss?

What the hell is she doing managing you around if she's just your boss's wife?

I work with a lady who thinks men cannot comprehend attention to detail and tedious tasks. I told her to shut the waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles up.

this bitch is straight retarded.

[Thizzelle]

sounds like you didn't receive the proper training. And if they have multiple stores there should be written procedures on how to do certain tasks, if not, ask for them.

Even only hearing one side of this Ill say any upper management that demeans ANYONE in front of other workers isnt worth working for and doesnt know shit about leading

Sorta ftfy.

Any discussion regarding performance of an individual should be done in PRIVATE! It's not good for company moral as a whole to do it publicly, and it makes the Management look unprofessional.

He doesn't want to say, and he is right to do so.
OP,
Most corporations or franchises are required to post certain things for their employees to see and utilize.
1. First aid and emergency instructions
2. Numbers and contact info to human resources
3. Profits and earnings

Go to the parent companies website and see what you can see.
Also, DOCUMENT everything that is said to you with dates and times. If you're feeling like you are being verbally abused in the workplace, that can in turn hinder your ability to do your job consistently and correctly out of fear of abusive or demeaning comments. If you have written documentation of what was said to you with dates and times, when and if this comes to a head, you can provide instances of mis-management. You word against theirs seems hopeless until you present them with documentation of what happened during shifts. Even if they say you were lying, usually when an employee goes to great lengths to document such instances prior to a meeting, it means something is wrong. Just because you are in high school or college doesn't mean you, yourself aren't protected by a corporation's fair workplace initiative (which most have).
If you don't feel like doing this, find another job. But keep in mind, if you leave, she will likely take advantage of someone else, and it is partly your responsibility to make sure she doesn't, or gets the proper training to manage effectively.
Gl!

One day when shes chewing you out..

[JinormusJ]

I have all my EMT accreditations and am applying for an EMT or ER Tech position at some of the local hospitals; currently volunteering and I have a few job offers I am pursuing currently, but no formal offer yet.

I'm hoping to be done with this in 2-3 months (or even earlier if I find a job) after my 5-speed swap and leave with some dignity left

Even only hearing one side of this Ill say any upper management that demeans middle management in front of other workers isnt worth working for and doesnt know shit about leading

You've heard it from the Man who knows Service itself folks!
Thanks Blunt :)

10k a year? Jesus man. GET OUT OF THERE NOW. The perfect job for a student is waiting tables, or bar tending. You will double, if not triple your income and actually have some sanity left at the end of the day. I can almost guarantee you will be fired from this job anyway. RUN AND NEVER COME BACK

[JinormusJ]

Its definitely a corporate franchise. The branches are individually owned and operated, but the corporation umbrellas the stores and owns rights to a percentage of profits.

At this point, and at this pay-scale, it's not worth the headache and hassle

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm betting you work for a company that owns franchisee rights to a fast food brand.

I would contact the company that owns the franchise rights, and ask about management training regulations.
