anyone else finds this messed up
This is kinda long bc it’s sorta a rant but I just want your opinions, like what you think about this whole situation.
So I work in a restaurant, like three weeks ago the owner came by and spoke to me about being a night shift supervisor bc I work mostly nights & some days and he said we have alot of new people that don’t know what they are doing so they want me to train them and etc . I told him we can speak about it better when he has what he requires and that we can talk about pay, he said okay I’ll let you know. Two weeks later , no one spoke about it to me, I heard they just wanted someone to take the fall if someone called out and whoever took it would have to come in bc they was the supervisor.
Anyways I spoke to my mom about it and my dad ( he works there too ) and they both said they was just tryna use me to cover all the call out shifts and do more work for barely any raise .
Last week my manager tells me she wants to talk to me , first thing she says is “ oh congratulations, boss gave you a dollar raise last week ” I said I wasn’t aware but to tell him I said thanks. She said you should’ve seen it on the pay stub & I said no bc I looked and it was the same Amt as always. & she goes he told me he spoke to you about you becoming the night shift supervisor & I said he did speak about it but I told him I wanted to talk details and no one ever bought it up so I assumed it was over. She said no it’s pretty much training the new people, being their guidance and telling them what to do. Nothing else, we aren’t expecting anything else from you & it’s not to put the blame on you if something’s wrong. I told her I thought becoming that meant they wanted even more from me & she said no. I explained to her where I’m grateful for the dollar raise , it wasn’t enough for me to “take” that position, it was more like a 3 dollar raise at least & she said it’s just a “title” for it to look good & if I wanted a 3 dollar raise , I need to show it & show them I can help them out. I said I already train all the new people, ( the best I can bc they never trained me to train them, they just throw them at me and say train them. ) I already tell them what to do & how to do it ( bc she won’t do it bc she doesn’t know anything about the restaurant side .) she said I can tell the new people to clean something I don’t wanna clean, like pretty much tryna get me to say yes & ever since I started working there when some new people show up , she tells them to ask for me & im blindsided bc I don’t know if im training someone until they show up .
Other than that my job is pretty easy & I gotten too comfortable being there. We don’t get any breaks & we stand up all day and move around, literally on busy days have to eat standing up but on slow days we have time to sit and eat.
Also I have this coworker who doesn’t speak any English which means whoever works with them has to do all the talking with customers, be a cashier, answer phones , put in all the orders , finish the orders and call them out and hand them out while he just preps food and starts food. Bc he doesn’t speak or read English , he doesn’t want to learn the register , not even for Spanish speaking customers. I asked him if he can learn at least to put in orders from doordash, Uber and grub hub and he said no. So basically whoever works with him does most of the work for the same pay . Like I don’t have a problem with him not speaking English, but he’s not even trying to learn it. Like if he learned to put those order in I wouldn’t have to rush to eat or use the bathroom bc I’m worried a customer going to come.
Anyways the reason I’m writing this ..
My thing that is messed up is that she was telling me they gave me a dollar raise to like bribe me to take that position & if I wanted more like I said, I needed to show them BUT they are paying the new people the same price as me. It bamboozled me when I found out & now I feel like I’m being walked all over on and idk what I should do. Everyone is acting like it’s okay , when it isn’t .
