I work at a restaurant that has a strict policy that managers are not to date any of their employees. Well, this one manager has been secretly dating this server for about two months. Thats all fine and good. I don't honestly give a flying fvck. However, tonight, for some reason, this guy decided that he hated my guts.

Normally I hang out a little bit on Saturday nights. I am good friends with the General Manager and the bartender so we usually wait for closing time and then have a few beers and BS for a while. Well tonight, this other manager was working. I was sitting at a table talking to her when her *secret* boyfriend comes up and tells me I don't do sh!t, I am lazy and to fvck off. I asked the manager what was going on. She wouldn't talk to me about it. Mind you, I am a hard worker and am always picking up the slack for her b/f who is a sh!tty server.

Well, after that, the bartender told me that the manager wanted me to check out and leave. I wasn't allowed to stay after. She just wanted me to leave. Then the managers b/f, who is supposed to check my side work went outside and said that he wouldn't come back in until I left. I had not spoken to this guy all night. Not at ALL. He just decided to pick a fight with me for some *completely* unknown reason and the manager stuck up for him. She didn't even have the guts to tell me to leave on her own. She made the bartender, my best friend at the restaurant, tell me. WHAT BS.

Funny thing is that this guy never normally works Saturday nights but now that the manager is working, so is he.

I was sooooo pissed off when he yelled at me that if I hadn't been in a good mood, I would have definatly picked a fight with him. I know that I could beat the living sh!t out of that fat piece of lard.

Well, I guess I am going to talk to the GM about it and the bartender, who is a manager in training said she was going to as well. People are soo stupid sometimes.


UPDATE: The manager in question has been asked to leave and the bartender (my friend) has been in management training for the past six weeks. Just found out that she will be coming here. w00t!

er..I think that I posted exactly what I meant. I wish that manager and that server got fired. I know that the manager will not but I wish at least that fat piece of sh!t did. The most I could hope for is the manager to get transferred, which would be alright with me.

Go over their heads and let a higher level manager know that your immediate manager is breaking workplace rules and creating a conflict of interest, making you feel uneasy. This kind of stuff is exactly the reason that companies have these policies.

I hate that crap too. My co-workers used to leave for a couple hours to f**k and I'd be expected to pick up the extra slack.

Well, if the server boy humping slut manager's good looking, you can always have the server boy fired and have the slut keep her job on the condition that she becomes your sex slave. Bong!

You are scaling the wrong ladder.

This is not a tenable position if you want to live a 'middle-class' or greater lifestyle.

That being said, don't get involved in petty social disputes, they never make any sense.

:confused: This isn't me becoming a manager. This is the bartender. I just told the manager what happened, he reported it to his manager and then the offending manager was asked to leave because of several reports of this.
