my manager(s) treat me so horrible for no reason at all, and there’s a very small select of us that are treated this way. my managers tell me off even for the slightest thing even wearing the wrong shoes but we could be wearing the exact same (in the uniform policy it’s closed toe black shoes but they say we need steel caps kind of thing) and they like to take away and add shifts without telling me beforehand which really messes up my plans. is there a way i can report them for treating me bad?

Unfortunately this environment rarely changes. I have been the victim of toxic management (recently) and even with a slight change, the behavior shows up in other members of management. And sometimes even upper management I. E. corporate doesn't see it. I'm glad to be home from that environment even with an uncertainty in my future. Stress is a silent killer and I won't contribute to my own demise. Be happy, find your place, live well!!

Any time my manager starts raising hell, I just pull out my phone and ask him to repeat himself while I record him. It’s amazing how fast the tone changes.

I would recommend finding a new job. I know that's easier said than done. In the meantime I would start documenting the bad behavior. Talk with the other associates who are receiving the same treatment and convince them to collect documentation as well. All the information collected should be as factual as possible leaving out feelings and emotions. Familiarize yourself with company policies and procedures and note what the policies being violated. Submit the collected documentation and violations at the same time. Try to get your associates to do the same. Mainly because if you submit a bunch of separate complaints they get ignored.

They have a policy follow it . You getting in trouble is self caused by you not wearing exactly what you are suppose to wear . The managers uniform isn’t your uniform . You aren’t being treated bad he works there just like you difference is if owner walks and sees you not wearing proper clothes he takes it out on the manager .

Document, document, document, then schedule a meeting with higher level leaders and HR.

Unfortunately you have encountered that strange creature who has the disease kniwn as BUTAS Bug Up The A** Syndrome..there are a few ways to deal with such a creature 1) Kill her or him with kindness, everytime they say anything negative retort with something positive such as You look so nice today! 2) Blindside , confuse them by BSing them and saying something like, "Thank you for that advice!" and tell them you're so lucky to have such a great manager like them or 3) Go find a good witch doctor and have them put a curse upon them so that everytime they say something negative they get machine gun loud flatulence and/ or spontaneous explosive diarrhea.

Get HR's number. Ask someone who is not a manager first.

Dept of Labor in your state. Especially if work is intolerable. Look up wrongful termination, quiet firing and constructive discharge.

Like others have said, you need to ensure that you're following uniform standards. The style of shoe that they require is for your protection and safety in the workplace.

As far as adding/taking away shifts, have you asked them why they're doing this? Has the schedule already been posted and they're making these edits afterwards? What is your availability like? If it's open, that might be a reason as to why they add shifts on? If they're taking them away, they might have put too many people on that day?

What are the other employees doing? Are they also not following policy or standards?

Sounds like you need to have a conversation with management so you can better understand why they're doing these things. There's no use reporting it unless their behaviors fall under harassment/discrimination.

I realize that I am a restaurant manager. However, I have been treated unfairly as a manager by my fellow managers. Don't be discouraged by my current title!

I am sorry you are dealing with this. Please write down about every shift what happened. Soon enough you will see a pattern. In the meantime, there are many things you could do, 1-talk to your HR manager to lodge complaint, if it is unionized contact your Union Rep, and if these don't apply, contact employment standards. It sounds as though you need an advocate. The last option is to find a different job before leaving this one. Lastly, learn your workers rights for your State/Province...you have the right to turn down work in an unsafe environment.

as a follow up, one of my colleagues who work with me has been going through a very rough patch of time with her parents and custody and everything and the manager is trying to call her up and set up a meeting regarding why she hasn’t been showing up, so my friend explained everything and the manager didn’t give her any recognition such as ‘i’m sorry you’re going through that’ but more so backhand of ‘well you should be prioritising your work’ but she’s only 16 and were casual and we only get max 3 shifts a week

Get a new job and submit a complaint to HR on your way out. Not everyone will change, and there is a very real possibility that you’re not effective at your job, but your manager sucks as a leader and isn’t taking the time to teach you, instead trying to drive you out. You cannot change them, but you can change your surroundings and your mindset. Find a place that fits you, rather than trying to force it to accommodate you. And leave them a cake that says “f*** you nerds”

Legally the employer must provide all PPE including safety shoes plus training unless you have a qualification. I wouldn't be available for extra shifts 😉

First of all and this is very important in any job setting… do not take anything said personally…. You must understand managers are under constant pressure and must get tasks done, and they depend on you to get those tasks done, they are not singling you out or anything, they are just trying to get there stuff done, and if you’re not helping, you’re hindering them…. So be sure you’re getting your tasks done on time every time you come in…

I would tell them you cannot works assigned shift changes without your knowledge.

In the end its likely something your doing or not doing. Employees that do the right thing and work well; wear proper uniform etc. are the ones who get hours and the shifts they want. Sounds like your a "problem child" and the management and staff dont want to deal with you. You need to look in the mirror and see what your bringing to the table. Restaurants are hard enough without people people who make things worse.

You have done nothing wrong. When people behave in ways that feel unfair or overly intense, it usually comes from their own insecurity, pressure, or lack of stability, not anything you have done. Their reactions are about what is happening inside them, not a reflection of you. The best thing you can do is stay with yourself, keep yourself regulated, and not take responsibility for managing their emotions. Focus on what you can control, follow the written policy, and keep simple written documentation of anything that feels inconsistent or unfair. You are not the cause of their behaviour, and you are not responsible for fixing it.

Damn right there is!

Working thru the weekend

If you feel that you're being treated unfairly by management, and unfairly meaning you are treated different than others who behave and perform the same, then you need to master defensive clarity.
