Help me please?!?

Question

I'm 17 and in my last year of high school. My mum has never wanted me to get a part time job but after talking to her and persuading to her that I can juggle my school work, sports, social commitments and a job, Mum said I could find one.

Subway is opening a new restaurant down the road from me. So I applyed and got the job. Four of my friends applyed and only one of them got a job.

Today I got my roster and I found that a girl named Stacey got a fulltime job there.

This girl is the nastiest, selfish and rudest girl I know. I've known her since I was 5. She rung up my best friend and threatened to stab her to death. She also harrased and beat up my other good friend. She's never done anything more serious that a bit of name calling to me.

I really don't want to work with her because of this. I know that there are people in life you don't get along with, but this is a bit different.

We both work on Saturdays and she is the duty manager. I really don't feel comfortable working...

with her. I don't want to and I don't believe I should be driven out of my job.

What can I do?

Answer 1

First off. If you haven't worked with her yet you have to put your distaste for her aside.
Work to the best of your ability, learn what you have to do, and observe what is going on around you.
If she is a duty manager she will have training in handling staff and may not be as bad in her working environment than you expect.
It is in her interest to keep the staff happy as her performance will also being rated.
In most places fighting inside and outside of the workplace is a dismiss-able offence.

Be like the crab wait, watch and move sideways, or adapt.

Answer 2

What can you do? Mmmmm, well you said that you don't feel comfortable being around her and don't want to lose this job because she is working at the same place......... So basically you have 2 choices. 1) Keep the job and do whatever it takes inside of YOU to get along with her so that you can keep the job. You might have to just "Bite the bullet" on this one. Or- 2) You may want to consider finding a different job where you might feel that it's a much more comfortable atmosphere to work in. I know that it might not be so easy to just "Go get another job", but in the end it may save you a lot of troubles and may be well worth it. This is not the only place that there is to work, there are many other places to work with less B.S. I wish you the best !!!!

Answer 3

Wabby, I am sorry to hear about your situation. First, I hope you have been enjoying your Macbook.

Anyway, I would say quit the job. You don't deserve to be working while been driven with uncomfort simultaneously. This person you described to me here seems to be a very unwanted person, and I personally believe you should get away from this specific girl for best result.

You don't only need a job to earn some cash, you also need a job to encourage you to wake each morning, not to think about the person you dislike at work.

I used to date my boss, and ever since we broke up I could no longer bear to see her in my sight. Her appearance caused nausea, terrible feelings, uncomfortable mood and uneasiness. So I planned to quit my job, which I did, and I moved on. I felt like 1000 pounds came off my shoulder.

I know how it feels to be in your situation. You personally know how much of a bad person this one individual is. I would suggest you to quit. Life is not about money, it is about happiness and comfort.

However, don't just quit like that. Apply for a new job and wait to be called for an Interview. Once you qualified for that job, quit your current one. At least you walk out of a job and walk in one right away.

Take care, and I hope you get your New Macbook soon.

Answer 4

Well, if she starts stuff with you, just hold your cool and say,"I suggest you watch what you say to me, we may not like each other but this is not the place." If she continues just tell her okay then you want it to be that way, walk off and tell the other enforcement working there and report her and what she is doing, if you handle this physically you will loose your job and it will go on your record. If you want to beat the living **** out of her, do it another time out of work and take much pleasure in it lol. Good luck and I hope my advice helped you or put you in the right direction.

Answer 5

I would not run and find another job. Don't let her take the best of you. Just go to work and do what you have to do.
If you feel threatened in any way then I would go to someone who is higher than her and put a compaint on her. It will make you stronger in the end.

Answer 6

You can't really say too much about her life outside of work especially if it is in the past.You will sound like you have the problem not her.If you don't feel that you can work along side of her look for another job. .Over time she will expose herself for what she is and customers will complain if she is rude or unprofessional at work.If an employer has hired someone it would be difficult to fire them based on hear say.

Answer 7

change this job.u wud b uncomfortable with this co worker and n wud not b able to perform well in ur job.n u r already into so many things like school work,sports,etc.i dont think u'll b able to take it.plz do think it over.gudluck.make sure u make the rite decision.

Answer 8

if I were you, I would go get another job or go and see if you can change your shift. . It isn't a good thing to be working with people who are rude, nasty and selfish. Especially if they have a grudge against you. Good luck

Answer 9

i would go to work and act like nothing is wrong and if she started with me then i would let her know that i was not going to take her crap at work or no wheres else.and if she is that rude & nasty then she wont last long anyways just try to do your job to the best of your ability and don't try to start nothing with her.

Answer 10

i suppose there should be more than 1 manager in subway. becoz i used to work in KFC. not all managers are nice. some are nasty. welcome to the real world. not everyone will be nice to you. so i turned to the nice ones. they can be very helpful when you talk to them. the nice managers may have a word to the nasty ones to treat the employees with respect.
