#ProfessionalApproachTips: Hey everyone! So, here’s a wild story for you – I brought my manager breakfast today thinking I saw syrup for my pancakes. Turns out, I was wrong, and she ended up throwing the pancakes at me and cussing me out. Yep, you read that right. Crazy, right?
Now, I’m feeling super uncomfortable and I have a whole list of incidents with her since December (seriously, it’s on my notes app). I’m supposed to leave for college in August, but I still have to deal with her until then. How should I even bring this up? Any ideas or tips? Let’s chat and figure this out together! 🥞✨ #HelpMeOut
QUIT and find a new job. I think your manager needs to be in an asylum
Sounds like a horrible manager. I would look for a different job 😅
Your mental health might get bad in the long run if you stay there
That’s absolutely not okay behavior coming from an adult. You should start looking for a new job immediately, report this to HR before you leave if possible.
If it really came down just like you said the professional approach would be telling your boss “I wish you well” and walk out immediately. It if really came down just like you said I can’t imagine anyone staying at the job. It just sounds a little far fetched.
If you really want to talk to her about it. Bring it up when you have a quiet moment. Tell her you felt really uncomfortable with her throwing stuff at you and you would like her to never do something like that again. Be professional about it.
Quit, doesn’t matter how old you are or where you work. No one should be throwing anything at you.
Don’t.
Update your resume and find a new job.
Small business owner here: you may not have a HR department but if you are in the US, you have the US Department of Labor. They would love to hear about this. But then you’d best have another job lined up because the boss will find a way to fire you. Get your ducks lined up before pulling that lever, though, because you can’t back up from this. Good luck with this. Never take this type of abuse from any employer.
Document the behavior and report her to HR. I don’t care whether she’s higher than you and you are supposed to be subordinate or not that is just unacceptable behavior for any employee let alone a manager and representative of a company!!
First of all – quit.
And if you really want her to learn a lesson, have her arrested for assault because technically that’s what it is, and she can be arrested and charged for that.
Wait, did you get her pancakes out of the kindness of your heart and she did that?
ungrateful swine, find something else mate that is one hell of a toxic manager.
Report that shit straight to HR or managing director.
She technically assaulted you.
I loved one of my old jobs as a greenkeeper on a golf course but unfortunately the entire crew i worked with who were all best friends for 7+ years were clicky as shit and extremely toxic, i lasted 8 months before i rage quit.
How much do u get paid? U can put up with a lot of shit making 75k a year at 18
I dont know where you are based, but it is worth documenting all of the incidents relating to the employee that is doing this with a different senior member of staff viqa email so you have proof, then bring it up when you are with the owner or in your exit interview. You don’t have to put up with that and depending where you are, you will be able to prove the hostile work environment, get compensation, and get that employees behaviour addressed or there employment terminated so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Let some shit like that happen again and conveniently fall or some other injury and then sue the brakes off that place and demand she be fired in the suit.
You have documentation? Take it to HR immediately, this behavior is completely unprofessional and this person should not be in their position at all.
For future interactions with this person while that is taking place, don’t bring them breakfast anymore. Only do specifically what they request, nothing more. Don’t go above and beyond for them, and keep documenting every negative interaction with them and pass it along to HR.
If for some reason this is a small business environment and there is no HR, I’d say just get another job until you go to college. It’s not worth your sanity to stay there.
