Owner lets coworker show up whenever she wants
My coworker no called no showed this week leaving me as the only person running the whole restaurant besides the chefs, owner did not care. Next day coworkers shows up right as service begins, we are supposed to come an hour early to set up. I complain and coworkers gets written up for not showing up day before. The next two days coworker again shows up right as service begins. At this point I’m just annoyed, if I didn’t show up on time we wouldn’t be able to open. The only “manager” is me who gets paid the same as everyone else so I’m not disciplining anyone. I complain yet again and the owner talks to her however, I overhear him phrasing it as it’s stressful for ME and I don’t appreciate being stressed waiting to see if she shows up. 814
Basically blamed my feelings for the whole thing, not the fact that his employee isn’t showing up for work. So now I look like a jerk and it’s hostile at work. I was told he could fire her but if he did that I would be required to cover all of her shifts. Is this normal behavior? The owner lets everyone do whatever they want and expects me to pick up the slack.
Another thing that is driving me insane is that I requested one day off in December, my first request in 6 months and I was told no. Then he turns around and asks everyone else for their requests off and approves all of them. The person I usually work with on the day I asked for off got the day off but not me who specially asked for it. I’m supposed to have “seniority of the schedule” as he has said but my requests are always denied and my schedule is always changed to accommodate everyone else. 670
