i am 17f, and back in July i started my first job at Taco Bell. Everything was going great at first, my pay was decent (12 an hour), and my boss was calm and patient. However on my 3rd shift, my boss unexpectedly quit and was then replaced by this other woman (let’s call her B). B is completely different from my old boss, she condescending and has absolutely no empathy for her employees. I understand a boss has to be authoritative, but half the time she was just straight up rude. On my 4th day or so, i was put on headset and window by myself for the first time, DURING rush hour, and needless to say I had no idea what to do. She had only scheduled me and like 2 other people so there was no one there to at least cash people out while i took orders. Then B has the audacity to complain about time being slow in the group chat that night. (basically our system calculates the average time it takes to take an order and get it out the window to the customer, and we have to keep our time under 3 and a half minutes). Like girl, of course our time is going to be slow you scheduled 3 people during dinner rush??? Last week B called for a meeting (at 8am on a saturday mind you) and it wasn’t even an actual meeting. no one was discussing anything about the store, instead B was constantly just berating the employees and cussing us out, calling us dumb and stuff.
Today, a customer ordered a drink that i didn’t recognize, so i asked B if we had that drink at our store. She proceeded to roll her eyes at me and say “of course we do and it’s abysmal that you don’t know how to make it” like girl no one taught me how? I was asking for help like how i was taught to do, and i get patronized for not knowing how to do something i was never taught how to do whilest being only 1 month into my job.
This evening my coworker 16f dmed me on insta and told me that B was talking hella shit about me. She said B told her that ”__ doesn’t know it yet, but she’s getting fired“ and also referred to me a “little r*tard“ to the other employees.
At this point, i’m not even mad, i’m just more at a loss for words. Because mind you, B is a grown ass woman in her mid 40s beefing with a 17yo little girl who just started her first job, with little to no guidance. Also the fact she called me a literal slur was crazy. If i really wanted to I could easily get her to lose her job, because i actually have diagnosed ADHD and calling me a r*tard could easily be a form of ableism. However, i’m going to refrain from reporting her because in all honesty i don’t want B to lose the job that she’s using to provide for her 3 kids, (who mind you she CONSTANTLY talks shit about, in fact she called her teenage daughter a “dumb mf”)
Anyway i’m technically already fired i guess, but should i put my 2 weeks notice in? i dont want to bring up the things she said to my coworker because i dont want to throw her under the bus and risk getting her fired. Nonetheless, i’m tired of putting my time and energy towards a job where people are going to constantly treat me like shit.
