Anyone else have problems with their managers?!

[missjef]

Thanks for your comments on my question a few weeks back about swapping work shifts around. It EVENTUALLY got sorted and everything was fine!

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Jobs-and-Educat ion/Question305264.html

What really gets to me is that today someone wrote a note to my Manager & was asking to swap shifts for the 16th nov. & my manager was more than happy to oblige!! She even was offering for the girl to have the day of as "its not a problem to swap round and get someone to cover you"!!! I was so angry, why is it i asked the same thing and yet we got completely different answers!!

Another thing i get annoyed about is that i have worked there from Febuary (a clothes shop doing 16hrs a week), and a lady who is in her late 30's (im 18) doing just a few more hours than me who started just after me is trained for doing everything staff discount, returns, training other staff! Where as i can't even do refunds! This really gets me annoyed even though theres nothing i can do about it.

I am also always down to do the same things all the time - in the fitting room for half my shift & then clearing the rail in the fitting room for the other half, and i found out today the manager has promoted a girl who is 17 (she works about the same hours as me) & has only been there a month (or so) to be in charge of our gifts section because she is "fed up of always seeing her only doing fitting room & clear rail"!!

I feel so angry about all of this! Do you think i have reason to be annoyed or am i just over-reacting??

sorry for the rant!

ur not over reacting,my mom had the same problem,ur manager is doing this to u b/c she thinks she can control u,and u will have to do what she says no matter what,b/c if u dont u'll have to find another job,or she will just fire u.thats the problem.

otherwise u just **** her off,maybe u should try being happy about ur possision and dont ask to be switched.
and if that doesn't work then threaten to quite(this will only work if she is kinda short on staff,so don't try it if she can afourd to loose ppl)

other then that i dont hik i can help much more,i dont work,and what work i do do is for my mom so yea.lol.and its around the house,so its not really a job, i dont get paid or nething.so hope it helps
