[QUOTE="Steely, post: 226840, member: 3301"] Thanks guys.......... It is all really so much more complicated than I could ever post or go into here. However, something will not let me call in sick when I am not, so I guess I will be there today. I have been managing 20 years, and for companies that are sweet, kind, and nurturing to their employees - and yet are firm, consistent, & have boundaries. Like a good parent. This company wants me to do all the warm fuzzy stuff without setting limits, unless the employees all agree on the limits. And when I set limits, without my employees [I]all [/I]agreeing on them, I get in trouble because I am not embracing the "company's culture". Because of the this company's sickeningly sweet mgmt style, I was harassed by an employee for 6 months whom they would not let me fire, then she did a 180 and claimed I harassed her, and I almost got fired. I have been yelled at by employees, ignored, and blown off. (Not to mention a trash can pushed at me in anger, and a death threat.) The store has had to have the police called 2 times to escort 2 employees out of the building because they have been threatening, once to me, once to another manager. It truly is like being in a dyfunctional family. My manager will sit there and yell at me, and accuse me of things that are not true - and then turn back around and tell me I am not doing my job correctly because an employee is not happy. (She can berate me and make me feel like poo, somehow that is OK with this company.) I feel insane and unsafe evertime I go there. And yet you all are completely correct. Now is [I]not[/I] the time to find a new job...........which just makes me sad, sad, sad.:frowny: Surely there is a way to find something, somehow. Thanks for listening. I guess I will go to work.
