So I just need to vent for a minute.

It's my first day back from a vacation I took, because work stress had me ready to walk out on this job. I'm a night supervisor in a warehouse and it's my responsibility to make sure things run smoothly. ie)things get stocked, no one injures themselves, we don't get behind on unloading trucks.

I've done this job for 2 years now. One as a regular employee and one as supervisor. I am good at this job. Before my new direct manager took over, I was always commended on my ability to do this job. My Direct manager fucking sucks and im now being penalized for his bad business decisions.

First, hes never AT work. Hes always got some excuse as to why he can't come in, and he gets away with it because he uses his age to get sympathy. He's only 50.. I understand he's got limited ability to do heavy duty physical work, but I don't EXPECT him to. All I expect him to do is help me enforce policies and do balanced schedules and he refuses.

on days when he's off we're under scheduled by 20 hrs per day.

when IM scheduled off he uses those 20 hrs per day.

The shitty schedule is reflecting badly on me. the fact that he wont stand behind me when I try to enforce policies and accountability is reflecting badly on me.

Im really at the end of my rope here. Anxiety and stress from this job is affecting my home life. Its impossible to enjoy anything when Im constantly worried that hes going to "dont care" me out of my job.

His favorite phrase is "I was looking for a job when I found this one", Well I wasn't!! Ive been with this company for SEVEN years. I've worked so hard to get where i am. Im so depressed and anxiou s.. I don't wanna leave or lose my job, yall. But I really can't find a different solution.

Anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I can improve this situation?

They tell me to crotchet a sweater and tie my hands behind my back.

Is this normal?
