How do i handle managers that complains/gossips about me to my co-workers?
Question Posted Saturday November 25 2017, 6:52 pm
Everyone is knew to this restaurant that opened two weeks ago. The managers already have their favorites. I’ve overheard a couple of the co-managers talking about me to people that I work with on the sandwich line. They stood in a group yesterday, only a few feet away from me talking crap. One of my coworkers were like “You don’t like her?! Lol!.” The boss was complaining that i do such and such wrong and that I’m quiet. I made a few mistakes during the training week, but i learned from them. They were mad cause i kept asking questions about my tasks and everyone else caught on quickly. They’ve complained to the manager that hired me and the owner and had me sent home. I think that they really don’t like me because I’m quiet and because my job coach told them i had a disability.
I don’t have to communicate with customers. I just work in the kitchen. I speak to my coworkers, but I’m not super outgoing like them. I feel like the assistant managers don’t like me because of my disability. They make snide remarks and gestures behind my back like I won’t notice. Yesterday I cut my finger deep and a assistant manager sent me home early. They’re snickering and looking over at me. I just ignore it. I don’t know if I should say something because I don’t like drama. And the manager might side with the assistant managers. This happened to me before at another job and nobody wanted to work with me because the managers would gossip about me to them. I try to do the best I cam. I think they will keep complaining until i get fired, so should I quit?
I can tell you this, a company that can hire disabled persons, can not fire them just because they don't like you. I am not disabled but had the same thing happen to me recently in fast food. They didn't like me, complained enough to top manager and eventually she never put me on the schedule so I wasn't earning any money but I was still on the books cus they had no viable reason to let me go or fire me. The same goes for you dear.
So call your job coach. I used to work for a mentally disabled gal who did work very part time and her job coach did n't just help her get the job but helped with any problems that occured along the way. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
