Should I?
I'm a nice girl who beleives that you should treat others how you want to be treated. But I've been working at this factory until school starts again and the supervisor is just awful.
I always keep getting in trouble for no reason even though i put 100% effort into everything I do. He says I talk too much. There was this one job where I had to count all day, so I can't count and talk at the same time. But I got pulled from that job to another because, a lady told me that the supervisor said that I was talking too much. And I don't look like anyone else, so he couldn't have mistaken me for someone else.
Now he seems to just want everyone to be miserable. he doesn't want ANYONE to talk whatsoever. Obiously you shouldn't talk to much but if you are packing things it should be okay to chitchat with your partner as long as you are getting the work done. But I feel like I'm working in a sweat shop, not a factory!
Other people such as myself are getting in trouble for ridiculous things. But the owner of the company's son who works ther who is my age and his girl friend and few friends he brought to the job doesn't do SHIT. Fools around and does a half-ass job and they don't get any talking to when they're the ones who should.
When they work with us, the supervisor doesn't even come to us. But when they are not working with us, he comes over and surveys us working like a shark in a pool.
And among other things he's done, I decided that on my last day of work, I will go to his office and just lay everything to him. How he's been such an asshole to everyone, etc. Everyone said that I shouldn't do it, but really everyone's been thinking the same thing and no one is saying anything. I'm trying this new thing where I don't hold grudges, so that means I need to let it out. Plus it would be doing everyone a favour too.
I need someone else's point of view from this website. Maybe I do need job next summer, but it doesn't have to be here. But I'm just working here for now because I get a solid 40hrs every week.

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
i THINK THAT BECAUSE HE'S YOUR BOSS HE CAN SAY AND DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO TALK TO HIM COMPLAIN ABOUT HIS ATTITUDE IN A PEACEFUL WAY DON'T ARGUE BY YELLING AND IF HE STILL GIVES YOU ATTITUDE AND SAYS YOUR A PIECE OF TRASH THAN PROTEST. GET THE OTHER WORKERS THAT WORK WITH YOU TO GET THEM TO PROTEST WITH YOU IT SHOULD DO THE JOB.

Let's put this in perspective. He's a miserable SOB and it's not your problem how or why he's like that. He probably hates his life, work etc. or could be depressed.
The fact is this is where his education got him and likely he won't do much else but this for years. You will surpass him and in ways already have. You have two choices ignore his shit and do your best or start looking for a better job with the same hours where you are treated better. They exist you just have to keep at it looking.
DO NOT under any circumstances when you leave bad mouth him to others at the company or go in and lay into him. The minute you do that his preconceptions of you will confirm he's right when he isn't.
Also, when looking for another job you have no clue if the employer knows people or checks out what you accomplished here. In other words don't screw yourself over or risk it.
One of the problems with a lot of workplaces that don't pay well and employ teens is that supervisors can go on a power trip and think that they have a right to treat kids like shit because they can't do anything about it.
My advice to you is to get a job with a company be it McDonalds or something else where they foster growth and schedule you daily. A movie theater such as AMC or Cineplex in U.S. or Canada gives out great hours, bonuses, and incentives. They may be tough at times with you but there will be a huge difference between current job and them.

Talking to HIM on your last day of work will achieve nothing, nothing at all, except to make you look foolish, to burn bridges and possibly to make the lives of those you leave behind worse.
Although 'not holding grudges' is a good personal rule, that doesn't mean you should dump all over everyone who wrongs you.
So instead of thinking about what will feel good to get off your chest, think about what you can do to improve the work environment and address this man's behavoir.
If there is a human resource person at the company, you could ask to sit down with them at the end of your time there and ask them if there is a formal compliant process, or how exactly you can best make the issues known. You could ask for a similar meeting with your supervisor's supervisor.
But don't just 'confront' him at the end of the summer. Frankly, that's petty and mean-spirited. It's sinking to his level AND why the hell would he listen to you?
Take your complaints up the ladder, make them calmly, but formally.
