Why do managers treat hard working employees like crap?

[Anonymous]

Fucking A man! There are 4 at the most hard workers. Me, my dad, a guy who's worked 5 months with no day off and another girl. The rest are lazy assholes. I'm going 3 weeks with no day off and I have to lift 20+ pounds of stuff every night and stock the cooler. Which is always empty because day and afternoon shift don't do a fucking thing. I also have to wash the whole parking lot and pick up all the trash. me and the other guy also have to pick up the slack that the last shift left behind. So we have to stay 30 min to an hour past our scheduled work time!

And what does the manager do? Bitch at the 4 us for one or two mistakes and doesn't say shit to the other lazy fucks! My fucking body is about to give out and she gave me some fucked up days off for next week. She split my days off! I work, get off, work, get off, then another full week of work! I'm sore as hell and don't have anytime to buy a new bed, that's messing my body up even more, and I can't get a hair cut!

The only ones that know how to do the cooler are me and my dad. And He's been out for a month since she worked him too hard as well and he tore something in his shoulder. So Now I have to fill in for him. I asked her to let me train another person for the cooler, but this bitch says no!

Why do managers treat hard workers like shit and let the lazy fucks get away with everything?

Aside from the fact that someone who works hard can be counted on to get the job done, I think some managers ride hardworking employees so hard because they know we don't have the luxury to quit. We NEED our jobs, therefore we do what we're told.

Sad but true.

@jacquesvol I'm constantly surprised by the young people I currently work with. I was taught that no matter what I'm doing, my name is going on it, so I will do it to the best of my ability. I harbor no ill will toward my coworkers for just taking our job to pay a few bills while they go to college. Bravo for excellent decision making skills at a young age!!! But, a job is a job, even if you don't like it or plan to be at it until you die, you still do it right. I would be so ashamed of myself if I watched my coworkers busting their assess and I was just coasting through it letting them pick up my slack!

@Ntnrmlchck
I understand your feelings. But these 'young people' grow old. Some become mature and trustworthy. Others are still the same at 40 or 50.
And the annoying ones aren't always those you expect to be annoying: I remember a secretary I 'received' from another dept. She was then middle aged 40?), single, had seriously clashed with about everyone (me included.) Uncooperative.
After she started working with me she changed completely within a week. Nice, hard working, 100% good will, friendly, taking good initiatives. I still don't know what changed her. My personal charm? I really doubt that.

@jacquesvol very true, and don't discredit yourself, 15 years ago I lost my way a bit and went through a bit of a crisis. Having worked for five years under a manager that told everyone EXCEPT me what I was doing wrong, I was used to just doing my work with or without input. When I went through my issues, my new manager (new organization entirely) actually came to me, called me on my bs and dared me to prove my worth. In one simple conversation, he gained my respect and reminded me of who I was and my potential. Sometimes it doesn't take much for someone to have a profound impact on your life ☺

Well the hard workers are always "abused" because they can get the job done
