Got a job counseled the other day otherwise known as a reprimand. As a manager I am on a salary and work 50 to 55 hours a week. I know I signed up for this. Advised my general manager I would be in at 4 instead of 1. He stated "ok". When I got in I was told I would be "counseled" on this to be consist with the other managers. Two days later I am "counseled" with the general manager and the owner of the restaurant. Not only am I reminded of my tardiness but also am told that I made a incorrect decision I made after following suit of the Asst. GM and told that "my attitude" is not one of happiness and hospitality.
I am pressured in to explaining "why" I was late as I told them it was a family emergency and did not choose to discuss it with them. They keep asking me about this until I teared up. I work in a male dominanted field and the owner is not a compassionate individual at all. Infact, very unapproachable and a bully. I feel as though they contridicted themselves by stating I was an emotional person but then stated I did not convey an "appearance" of happiness and hospitality. Infact, prior I was told to not talk to guests of the restaurant. Feel I turn left--I am wrong; I turn right--I am wrong; I stand still-- I am wrong.
Just needed to vent!!
I will not give them permission to make me feel inferior.
