Should I quit my job?

Question

My manager had been saying more and more rude things to me, giving me attitudes and rude looks, and yesterday he actually called me a lying *****. Im 17, high school senior,and Im part time. I really would like to have a job, but I no longer want to work where I am. My manager even called me a ***** to my other manger but they ignored him. If i quit, would i still be able to get another part time job you think? If i quit before i get the job that is.

Answer 1

It goes without saying that what your manager is saying is not right on any level. If this manager is the only problem you have with this job, you should file a complaint either with the location manager or a district manager (if the manager in question is the store/location manager). You have witnesses that this manager is calling you an inappropriate name. Quitting will only let this manager win. Also, quitting may subject the next employee to his treatment.

Please, file a complaint. It will teach this manager a lesson.

Answer 2

First off, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has the right to talk to another human being that way. The fact that this manager feels it is necessary to speak to you that way is telling, the fact that you are legally a minor, is even more telling.

There are laws that are there to protect employees (ha ha ha). The first step that is expected, is to speak to that manager, see if they will tell you, in an adult way, what the problem is. If there is no resolution, you go to the next step, and so on. It is illegal for them to fire you for going to HR with this problem. HR is supposed to be there for problem resolution.

If you do not feel that this job is worth all this trouble, and you are really sure you want to quit, and you have always been a good employee (e.g. arriving for shift on time, doing the work as expected, not causing problems with customers or other employees, etc.). Then a carefully worded letter of resignation to HR is always good. Something like, hmmmm--- "I have enjoyed my experience with this company. The opportunity to learn has been valuable. I have done my utmost to be the best employee that I can. Unfortunately, due to the recent, and increasing, negative work environment that has been forced upon me by (insert name here) has made it impossible for me to continue to work here.

Get the Idea, if you were a wonderful and hard working employee, then that will let the company know that you are leaving because of 1 manager...........

You should never, ever, put up with that kind of attitude. This manager should be reported. You should talk to HR or find out who his boss is and tell him what's going on. His behavior is despicable and even illegal. Whether you report him or not, you won't have any problems getting another job. You can either use another manager as a reference, or just neglect to mention that you worked there. You are 17 so they probably wouldn't think anything of you not having prior experience.

From experience, you really shouldn't let this guy slide. I know it's tough to stand up for yourself in the workplace - especially when you are 17, but you should. What's the worst thing that can happen? You lose your job? You're already thinking of quitting, so it shouldn't be a big deal. There's no database somewhere tracking your job history (other than SS and no one can access it). And you REALLY need this guy to get what he deserves.

Answer 4

Well i don't have a job and I don't now how managers can be a pain in the butthole, but i'll try to give you some advice.
first off, the more you pay attention, the more it will get worse. If he sees that you're reacting to it, he'll keep on doing it. Ignore him completely and his rude comments. Instead, if he gives you a rude comment, give a good one. It's like if he flips you off, give him the peace sign.
Second, stick to this job first, just to see where's its going, and then consider looking for a part time job if you haven't changed your mind.
Third.....your manager needs to take a chill pill, seriously! hope i helped!

Answer 5

I would say make a complaint to the higher authority other than your boss. Possibly HR or someone in specific that handles those types of things. Let me tell you I was in that similar situation at a previous job; i didn't quit right away. I made a complaint to the HR of the company and my boss(at the time) got the boot because i went the only one that my boss was being disrespectful and rude to. After i came out and stated what happened others came out and it was handled. Hang in there; things will get better, hopefully.

Answer 6

File a complain. If you quit then your boss wins. If he calls you a B then I am sure he calls some other people the same. File a complain and make sure he gets what he deserves.

Answer 7

simply by fact finding for a job once you're employed isn't cheating and you activity does not have emotions. yet another component, you like a job to assist your self. you do no longer want a relationship. surely from time to time it relatively is terrific to be by myself between relationships.

Answer 8

Personally, I'd consult with an attorney. Clean the bastard's clock through the legal system.

Answer 9

stop being a *****

You need to change your attitude.
To change your attitude you need to change what you believe in.

Start believing in trust and respect and honesty.

What you believe in, is embedded into your subconscious mind.
This is portrayed in your body language, your clothes you choose and the words you say. Your attitude.

If the manager, who doesnt want to lose his/her job, is saying you are a *****, you better stand back and take it in.

This is the first road to success, the ability to change.

To get you started adopt this following philosphy.

"Focus on the Issue, not the Person"

Answer 10

You need to bring this to your parents attention, and let them sit him straight. He must be looking for a law suit, and someone needs to educated him on employer employee relations. NO ONE HAS TO PUT UP WITH DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR.

You can contact the department of employment and they have a counselor that you can talk too. There is no charge for this service.
