i quit my job yesterday. we had a new manager come in who is great. then his girlfriend came accross around a month later, she is such a *****, doesnt care about anyone, trying to run the place and just plain nasty towards some staff and customers.
I had just worked all weekend, 12 hour shifts, and afetr work monday had a few drinks at work(barman). she was on, she told me i had to go else were because i wouldnt stay on, so i gave her my pub key and said bye.
the manager phoned yeaterday, to ask why id quit, i told him before that she wasnt great with people, but the bossess wife it is hard to say, i dont like her.

Go back to your work and ignore her. That is what I would do.

You're right to hope for a good environment, but in truth it's rare to get on with all your collegues/ bosses/ reportees as people.
That's where being professional comes in.
I would advise going back, just so you can learn how to deal with people you don't get on with (it's a really important skill, especially if you want to get off the bottom rung).
Keep a record of things she says to you/ other people, things she does she shouldn't do etc. Maybe you can catch her out and find a good basis to report her (you can always by-pass her husband if you think he would have a vested interest in not looking after you).
In the meantime, keep an eye out for another job.
Just aspire when you get a managerial job to NOT be like her! Then you'll do great!
Good luck!

Just explain that if you can't have a drink and a good time how do they expect the customers to.
The fact your boss gave you till Friday to think it over tells you he values your contribution. Sounds like a good boss, be a pity to lose a decent job but if you don't tell him the truth the business will suffer if her attitude is not up to scratch.
The end result is it wont be worth working there as she'll have driven all the good ones away!

Maybe, you were a bit "quick at the switch" at quitting the job.. I wouldn't burn your bridges just yet.. Have a one on one mtg. with your boss and tell him honestly the situation that you have with his well "wife".. You don't have to nasty/rude or mean but, do be honest. If he know's his wife then maybe he'll understand your reason for walking out... Or he can workout a shift where you are working opposite or not as closely with her.. I know that is probably difficult... Also, if you do intend on really quitting get a nice recommendation letter from you 'nice boss so you have one with your resume. Good luck

Ugh. I think the situation is unlikely to change, while she's there, however, staff turnover in the service industry is always high, give it a year and she'll no longer be there.
But what do you do in the meantime? I suggest going back for now and look for another job while still holding down the one you have. It looks better for your references, and it's always easier to find a new job if you already have one.

If he's the manager he must work for the owner brewery - what business is it of his girlfriend? Or is she his wife? you're not very clear but is it worth quitting over? - if she's a girlfriend she may not be around long! No I wouldn't have done the same, I'd see it as a challenge (if she's hat bad, you'll still be there, long after she's gone)

because of the fact finding for a job once you're employed isn't cheating and you pastime does not have emotions. yet another difficulty, you want a job to assist your self. you don't choose a relationship. certainly each so often it incredibly is terrific to be on my own between relationships.

Possibly. Should be easy enough to find other bar work.
If he's given you til Friday he obviously wants you back - so it may be worth saying you will return on condition that you do not get the same kind of treatment again.

Go and find a decent job, learn something new this is a wake up call. In low paid jobs you get treated like **** thats a fact of life.

If you want your job back, go and get it back. He is offering it to you and has probably bolloc.ked her for it.
Don't let that witch drive you out if she is not a hirer & firer.
The b!tch. Would you like me to go bash her up for you?
Go get your job back, if you want it & if nothing better comes up between now and Friday. You need the money & if you go back, it puts her in her place.

Did you have another job lined up? the boss'll notice she's an idiot when she runs off all the customers.
