I'm an idiot and I really think my boss hates me

[vyperdd]

Why, oh why, did I agree to do a 4 hour shift at my home store today changing over promotional merchandise and signage and then drive almost an hour in afternoon peak hour traffic to do a 5pm-midnight at another store when all I want to do right now is stay at home writing my spn_j2_bigbang and watching SPN eps and con vids?????

And yes, my boss really does hate me. I was at work yesterday with 2 other CSRs when he calls from his office (at back of store) to the console area, asks both of the other CSRs if they can do the 4 hour shift today (neither can) but doesn't ask me even though he knows A) I'm available - he has the roster with him - and B) He KNOWS I need and want extra hours, esp after he cut me back to just 2 shifts (16 hours/week which isn't even enough to cover my rent, let alone all my other bills). I told the lady CSR to tell him I'd do it only after I overheard the CSRs talking about why they couldn't do it. "Oh, he needs someone tomorrow, does he?? Well I can do it." All the while quietly calling him every rude word I know. He really is an asshole.

Am so seriously thinking of contacting the Area Manager (his boss, BTW) and asking for a transfer to any other store that will give me 4 or 5 regular shifts/week. This having to rely on getting relief shifts at other stores every week is getting very stressful. Basically have to keep my mobile with me 24/7, can't arrange to go out to a movie or just coffee with friends in case a shift comes up. So I pretty much have no social life at the moment and it's really getting me down.

I'm so sorry. That sounds like a really crummy situation. I think maybe it might be a good idea to talk to the area manager. Hope you get it fixed soon *hugs*

Thanks!! I'll always keep fighting and won't give up. Don't want to give him the satisfaction. *hugs*

I'm so sorry. I hope this situation will change soon. Hugs!

Thanks. Knowing that other managers value me more than my own boss does is pretty good motivation to keep going. *hugs*

Shit honey, I'm so sorry! Crappy bosses are the WORST! *hugs you loads*

Thanks, bb.

I've had some really bad bosses in my working life but he is easily the worst and most other CSR at other stores I've mentioned him to have agreed that he's a douchebag!

*hugs you back even more*

I've had a fair few toads! Honestly, just go above his head if he keeps being a prick!

Urgh he sounds like a real jerk *hugs*

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

He is. Thankfully other managers are much nicer and offering me shifts where and when they can. *hugs*

That sounds so rotten.  What a jerk.  I hope something can be worked out for you.  :-(

It is and he is :-/ but I'm trying to stay positive and will #AKF. *hugs*

Ugh, that's really gross. Whatever bullshit he's nursing, he shouldn't be allowed to have such an impact on whether you make a livelihood or not, because of it! >:( I really hope that something shifts dramatically and lets you receive a more regular, less excruciatingly stressful schedule. <333

Thanks!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that he gets the boot and is replaced by someone who can actually do the job, but ain't holding my breath that that will happen any time soon. *hugs*
