Hi, new to this site but wondered if anyone else was struggling with work?
I am arestaurant manager and my boss is so little help it's tragic.
My Deputy left several months ago so I have been left understaffed for months now and with no replacement in sight. I wouldn't mind but I have raised my concerns with my boss about management numbers and he just waffles off the subject. I have pointed out that it also means I can't take any time off as well as generally lacking the support I need and again he just avoids the subject. I even approached HR to say that I didn't think it was entirely appropriate to have to go 5 months with no holiday especially whilst pregnant and they just told me to speak to my boss.
Now I'm 22 weeks, have had a stunning cold for a week now, headaches and generally exhausted what with long shifts with no breaks, deliveries and working in a 2 level restaurant which means running up and down the stairs all day and then you can throw in the night shifts followed by earlies.
Last week when I was Ill I literally wanted to lay down and die. Now I am justpermanently in tears at the thought of work and look like a wreck.
My boss has kids but whEn mine was I'll I was told I couldn't have the day off to look after her as I was due to attend a meeting.
Pin an effort to no moan on any longer I'll cut it there but these are just the highlights really!
Anyone else survived an incompetent man boss? Please share!!
