Be honest: how long would you withstand blatant disregard from a company before you quit? There’s many ways they can show this: not listening to/ignoring your concerns, intentionally creating an insufferable environment, not caring about declining employee morale and increasing turnover, overloading their productive employees, not showing appreciation, etc…

I left this company 5 years ago due to burnout.

I came back 5 months later because I was offered a promotion off the cuff by the SM at the time. I've been in the promotion role for 7 1/2 years.

I've gone through 3 SM at that time:
SM#1 - Respectful, understood my ability to perform a complex role without fail (and without supervision). Appreciated my candor and my ability to take care of tasks alone.

SM#2 - Also Respectful. Valued my attention to detail and my work ethic. I was willing to take on extra work because of this, and that was reflected during 2020-22 when we were considered "essential workers". I worked overtime regularly, picked up slack in other departments and learned just how much more could be done without being on the floor (I am not required to be on the store floor) which allowed me more time to fix extra issues. SM#2 worked for us to get additional raises as well during the 3 years he was in place. I miss that SM.

SM#3 - Young. Arrogant. Has pushed me multiple times regarding policy but I've remained determined. In the last year he has gaslit me numerous times. I've called it out with HR present. Nothing was done (not that HR is ever there for us). I see extensive changes in the company and have discussed them with others in the business and he has, in turn, called me a liar to my face (making sure there were no witnesses).

I'm looking to quit a bad boss.
I'm looking to never be in retail again.
I know my value and this SM has tried to strip it from me.

And that's the biggest part: I know my value... my worth. Now I just need to play the game until I can find a company worthy of that worth, at a rate of pay that isn't insulting.

The grass is not always greener. #3 will be gone. You know your worth; he/she doesn’t.

I would take all of my concerns to HR and if they did not help or act the same as the managers and other coworkers are then I would go to corporate HR. Certainly there's someone willing to either help you out of this situation or help get you to somewhere else within the company.

Dealing with this now and still working here. Not because I'm not principled enough to want out, but because I haven't been able to get a better offer. As soon as I do, I'm gone.

Sometimes working for less in a much better environment is a step up. Choosing your mental health is not settling, it is the better offer. You will make up the financial gap sooner enough.

I haven't gotten to the point where I'll quit, but I'm used to people in authority ignoring a lot of concerns. Perhaps I've gotten too cynical in how I look at it, but it seems like some people in management are simply not interested in hearing what workers have to say. I've gotten used to it and I more or less shrug it off.

Am also going through hell right now,have been working in a fine dining restaurant since last year August but with an overly bossy, racist, narcissist,disrespectful and inconsiderate restaurant manager and arrogant head chef(Both are Indians) from whom I feel hatred towards me since I stepped in contrary to the fact that he's the one who interviewed me and I think he's threatened by my experience owing to the fact that I have been in the industry for close to 10 years in 5 star hotels.My resume is awesome bt currently in Kenya you've got to know someone to get employed in a good hotel,so am holding on to being lectured unnecessarily over petty issues just to get my check and educate my two kids coz am a single mum.
Am online applying for every opportunity including the cruise ship so as to get the next exit from that place am working .

It took me 3 years to realize nothing was going to change. Literally had my own store and GM position at my fingertips but walked away finally. If it was that bad as an AM and nothing was changing, i felt like being in my own store with the company would only get worse.

I feel that wholeheartedly! I'm sending all the good vibes, thoughts & some prayers your way. Dont give up! Apply for anything, and never sell yourself short and not apply to somewhere because you dont think you'll get it or something. The worst that can happen is they say no and i always say a no isnt a rejection, its simply a protection!! Best of everything to you pal!
