How'd you know? Do you secretly work with me? Lmao, jokes aside- yep. I've been bitched at for the smallest of things, but I'm still there everyday, same time each morning. My co workers actually go to my defense if he tries to go at me for being too vocal about my attitude towards that kid lmao
My manager is a quiet firing guy. It's beyond frustrating. We have one kid, he screws us daily. Does what he wants. My manager has basically given up because he's too busy in his work to tell him simple things like "Grab your work phone before meeting" every morning. 
I fully agree with you, OP. I can't stand my manager lately because of his lack of a back bone. More work falls onto other employees shoulders when one keeps screwing them over. It's making my entire team to hit a boiling point of annoyance with it. Weak bosses create negative atmospheres >

That’s the worst! We got a new manager at the beginning of this year and he’s the same way. We bring our concerns to him and the behavior only gets worse because he’s more concerned with being fake nice than actually being helpful. >

Yep, same here. It sucks too, because my manager is a nice guy. He's very supportive/understanding. But my god, he will tell us to not shit talk the kid (kid who is 26 years old btw) but then allows him to just screw us over daily. He came in close to 5 hours late the other day, then did a no call no show the next day- but NOPE, nothing is said. >

but I bet if it was you or another experienced employee, his response would be different
