What do you do when your manager and assistant manager does not like you and theres always a problem at work?

My daughter is a shift manager on her job, and she asked her assistant manager if she could make sure the store was clean and stocked for her shift and the assistant manager started arguing at my daughter saying how she was not going to do it when they know that each shift is responsible for cleaning and stocking before leaving. She called the manager but she was no help because she does not like my daughter, and so she ended up calling someone over her who was no help because they told her to call someone else and they never answers their phone and so she called me just so that she could have someone to talk to to help calm her down before things got out of control because the assistant was talking about all what she would do to my daughter. I told her whatever she does don't let her see her cry. She also threatened to write my daughter up and she didn't even know why. I want to know if something can be done legally. No one deserves to have to go to work and can't get along with.


    




Just me.
look for something better .

She needs to transfer to another store, because there doesnt seem to anyone who is willing to step in and put an end to the matter.

I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is having trouble at work. Part of growing up is learning to deal with difficult people. At worst, she will never get along with her boss and she can use this as an opportunity to learn how to let things others say to her not affect her personally. At best, she can learn to understand where her managers are coming from, and learn to better communicate with them. It isn't easy getting along with many people, and sometimes you have to be the bigger person when a co-worker isn't doing the right thing. Remind your daughter that it isn't her fault (as long as she didn't do anything wrong) and remind her that the stress from her job shouldn't follow her home. I know this is easier said than done, but there is much to be gained from learning how to handle stress at work.

Suing her office would likely make her MORE of an outcast. I would strongly suggest thinking twice about doing something "legally" for this situation. While it is understandable that your daughter is not happy with work, spending money on a lawyer to sue her employer likely won't win her their respect (which is what I think you are looking for in this case).

Simple answer. You find a job where you are more happy with those you work with.

Does your daughter belong to a union? If so, take it to the grievance committee. If she doesn't, her best bet is to start looking for another job because it doesn't sound as though she's fitting in very well.

you can do alot about it

we're not understanding this --- cleaned and stocked before your daughter's shift begins? or instead of your daughter's crew doing so at the end of her shift?

case A -- the prior shift is responsible and should be written up every time they fail

case B -- your daughter's shift is responsible, AND if they're busy all the time to the point of not being able to do the cleaning, etc. they need more people. Which she has a perfect right to ask for.

And maybe she needs to be finding a different job, too.

This is an upper management problem... the buck is passed down to the next level so I'm doubting that there is any real recourse for your daughter. It sounds like their whole system is flawed.
I agree with the other person that she should update her resume right away and quietly start looking for something else. Life is too short to put up with this crap.

Look for different employment. If there always seems to be A problem now they will continue to create problems. Sometimes employers will do this so that employees will get miserable and just end up quitting anyway. Thats how they "trim the fat'.

this happened to me I used to work at a restaraunt and this was the issue. Eventually I left because it was too stressful. Tell your daughter not to stay somewhere and take abuse. Also contact her corporate office this always help.

call HR
file a formal complaint and talk to an attorney
this shiit happens all too often and they need to be spanked in the wallet before they understand they cannot abuse peeps


older is wiser
You do not know both sides of this issue. I have 6 kids and I know you believe whatever you daughter tells you, She may be 100% right about what happened. Ask her what she feels she should do about this, she may have this figured out on her own, If there is no good resolution , she should look for another job.

i have been in your daughters position and i even went to h.r. it was sad really. i was the top worker and got basically bullied into quitting. i finally found another job. i would suggest your daughter call h.r first.. but it does take awhile then tell her she is worth more than that and maybe help her find a new job. i stayed and tryed to make it better and mine got worse and worse. i got 2 write ups for walking in a min late. then i got taken off the schedual. it will just continue to get worse for her. so she should get out now while she can. no reason for her to stress and cry over stupid drama bullies w no life. (steps off soap box lol)

I'm not sure if this job is worth all of the trouble. It seems to me that if there is always a problem at work and that the manager/ assistant manager have an issue with your daughter, perhaps finding another job is the best way to go. Forcing the manager to act differently towards your daughter legally might build resentment towards her and she may be even more outcasted. Unless she is completely in love with the job, I would say try and find somewhere else to work. I am assuming though that your daughter is a teenager. If this is her career, I'm sorry that this might not be much help.


jwood
if managers tend to come and go then stick it out, just tell your self its for a short time. but... if they tend to stay for long periods sometimes falling off makes more sense then sitting in the middle of the same old fence your gonna lose either way you go...look for another job..

she could always try and transfer to another location. But I think that would be one of the final things I would try. Has she tried just talking to her and working it out.
