Today, I realized I'm so scared of my manager that I don't even dare to quit my job. The same job I want to quit exactly because I'm so scared of her. FML

outthelabyrynth tells us more.

First things first: I'm a girl, and I'm not a prostitute. (That would pay much better, though) I work at a restaurant with several managers who are all quite nice, but she's the boss of the whole restaurant so she's in charge of everything. Now the thing is, she's quite nice to everyone... Except to me. I don't know what she has against me, but working with her is like getting a constant shitstorm over you. Always mean comments, giving me the worst tasks, and no matter how I improve myself, it's never good enough. She keeps telling me I'm too stupid to work there (which I'm not, I have higher qualifications than everyone there, but I need the money to save up for college) and when other people make a mistake, she blames me for it. At this restaurant, when you want to quit, you have to tell her personally. The worst she can do is indeed yell at me. I'm not a shy person, but when people get angry at me or start yelling, I get really quiet and submissive and I feel like shit. I'll probably search for another job first, and then make up a believable story for why I want to quit, so she can't get too mad at me. Thanks for all the support and I'll do my best to stand up!

Just quit and then RUN. You can make it OP :)

Unless you work for a bounty hunting firm, firm up and quit. Being so scared at work is hardly worth it.

The craziest, most sadistic people usually end up at the top of the corporate or retail ladder and they stay there until someone points out that they are insane. If she owns the business you really don't want to help this woman make any money but if she doesnt talk to someone higher up, with documented proof of her abuse. the worst thing that can happen is not getting a good review if anyone else calls for a reference.

I'd proudly like to say: I quit! Tomorrow's my last day :) My manager tried to persuade me to stay and became all nice and "I'm gonna miss you so much"-ish, while she was yelling me to stop "being so blonde!" (I'm not blonde) in the middle of a stressful order just half an hour before. Oh well, in 24 hours I'll never have to see her again. I don't want to make a point of it anymore, I'll be gone and she can yell at other people. I'll miss my colleagues though; they were pretty great, so it wasn't really the worst job :) Now I'll go and find another one, somewhere nice and quiet without yelling managers and customers- a library perhaps? ;) Thanks everyone for all your encouragements and advices, I've read them all and was really heart-warmed by all your nice stories :) Jobless girl says goodbye!

Congrats! Here's hoping that your next job will be less stressful :)

Honestly you should just sack the **** up and quit your stupid job or learn to not be scared of him for that matter.

What do you think she's going to do to you.?
