I’m a assistant branch supervisor of a credit union. I’ve been working there for 10 months but been assistant for about 3 months.

I LOVED my job when I was just a teller. I loved how easy my job was and how I got to interact with our members everyday. But the pay wasn’t great and my family needed more $ so when the assistant spot opened I jumped to applying.

But now being in management for 3 months, I hate it lol. I see so much more stuff behind the scenes than I saw as a teller and it puts the whole place in a new light that I don’t like.

Our CEO is quite frankly a cry baby when he doesn’t get his way. He calls people and throws fits and pouts and he’s the type when he’s having a bad day, we’re all going to have a bad day which I HATE.

I’m close with my branch manager, but she can honestly be kind of horrible too. She can be a straight up bully to the tellers and some days treats them like dirt. I’m technically her assistant so I can’t overstep her, but since I became management I don’t agree with a lot of the ways she handles the tellers and how she treats them. Like one of the tellers messaged me privately to tell me she went home and cried one day because our manager was so relentlessly rude to her.

Also, our Vice President of lending has officially moved to our branch and she is EVIL. She has a habit of being super sweet to your face, then calling the CEO and twisting your words to make you look bad. She is VERY manipulative and ever since she has been at our branch permanently, I can’t stand being there.

I won’t get into it much more but since becoming manager, the whole place seems shady and upper management are bullies.

I’m beginning to become beyond stressed. I come home everyday completely drained mentally and physically. There’s been some days I have anxiety attacks about going to work which sucks because I used to love going in.

Also, the pay sucks. I’m 27 weeks pregnant and there’s NO maternity leave. All I get is 32 hours of PTO and 32 hours of sick time I can use. So 8 days….

I called in today (which I hardly EVER do) because my daughter is sick and has had a horrible stomach bug all weekend that’s not going away and I wanted to keep her home with me today to rest. And I immediately got guilt tripped and asked if I could come in in the afternoon. I can be a people pleaser and just do it, but I called in for a reason. My daughter is sick and I shouldn’t feel obligated. I know they’ll be fine without me, but like I said my manager can be manipulative and a bully too. Any time I’ve ever called in it’s always a guilt trip and I get texts ALL day about stuff going on she’s dealing with trying to make me feel bad that she now has to deal with it because I called in.

To say I’m overwhelmed is an understatement. Advice? Lol. Sorry for the long post!
