So I've been at the same job for nearly two years now. A year of which they've been promising me a promotion that would put me at right around $20/hr. But my GM keeps telling me they won't give me the promotion because I have a bad attitude and cause too many problems. Here's the thing: What he is interpreting as "bad attitude" and whatnot is me just being tired of his (and my boss's) bullshit. They constantly tell me I'm lazy, that I don't do work, that I'm unreliable. They say I'm slow and don't know how to properly do my job. Until, of course, I get angry with them, in which case they assure me that I'm actually a great worker and they love me so much and hope I stick with the company forever because I bust my ass. Today I was informed by another manager that the GM likes to share any time I have an argument with him and they all laugh at me because it's funny that someone my size gets angry and it's silly of me to argue the things I do (which is mostly me asking why I'm not treated the same as the men I work with). My boss, when I said I'm bi after he asked why he can't use the f-slur but I can, told me that two men together is disgusting but two women together is hot. He's told me he loves me in a way that would anger his wife. The GM has told me he likes to try to embarrass me in front of everyone because I'm pitiful and that's how Trump does things. After yelling at my GM about how it's unfair they've been dangling a promotion in front of me for a year now, they finally started giving me more responsibilities at work, but also gave many more responsibilities to my friend, who they actually are making a manager despite him coming in drunk or high every day, showing up whenever he pleases, and calling out at least once a week. They gave me work that I refer to as "bitch work" because it's the shit you give to the bitches. The work that doesn't matter and anyone can do. They gave me responsibility over cleaning the back line (which is used for storage, so it's never dirty) and ordering produce, which takes 5 minutes max. My friend, though? He gets the real truck order (which takes hours), inventory, is in charge of telling others what to do, gets to be in charge of a specific part of the store and making their schedules, and gets to be partially in charge of kitchen scheduling. He didn't ask for this. They didn't tell him they were promoting him until a month ago.
Needless to say, I'm livid. They've lied to me, they've promised me shit they won't give, and they're promoting someone who routinely shows up so drunk that he asks me to cut things for him because he's too unsteady. That's their guy. That's who they choose over me.
But I have an interview tomorrow for a kitchen manager position at a marina that starts at 50k. With experience (which I have), it can be upwards of 65k. Houses out in the boonies where this place is are incredibly cheap, too, so I could maybe have a house, something I never dreamed of. It's my second interview, so I'm hoping this means I get the job, but after being told that management laughs at me when I ask why they treat me like shit, I think I'll quit without notice if I do get this job. I'm tired of being treated as if I'm a burden on them when I'm the only opening kitchen person they have, so losing me will hurt them immensely. I'm just so sick of how they talk to me. I love the people I work with, but I cannot tolerate these two particular managers any longer or I will go to jail for beating a man at his own job.
Edit: Just remembered this, too. My boss always tells me I'm racist for literally nothing, then tells all the poc I work with that I hate black people. Like, I could burn nachos or something and be all damn, I burnt that, and he (a white man) will ask why are they not good to serve? Is it because they're dark, like certain people's skin, and therefore I find it abhorrent? I've asked him to stop this many times because he told the younger sister of one of the guys I work with that I hate her because she's black and he was, understandably, livid and asked if we needed to fight. Management thinks it's funny, but they're not the ones out here with people threatening to fight them because of a very not funny joke the far-right GM has decided to tell ONLY to poc. To add more to this, there have been like 10 people in the two years I've been here who quit because they said the GM was unbearably racist towards them or other poc, so I think he's just happy to be able to call someone racist instead of being called racist for actually being racist. Like, the shit he says to me about black people and then says it's ok because his stepdad is black. But I'm somehow racist over literally nothing? Like, I'm not, and I apologize and change if I happen to do something that offends someone. But the GM? If he says something that insults someone, he doubles down and does his Trump embarrassment tactic of shaming someone into shutting the hell up about how he's wronged them.
