I have been at this job for almost 4 months and I am very turned off.
My second day in the job I was warned about the assistant manager sleeping with the previous girls in my position.
I had horrible rumors about me perpetuated by members of the management team out of thin air that I was getting divorced because of said assistant manager. Which the general manager heard about and brushes off. And HR never responded to my email about the incident.
Those previous 2 members of the management team have dated on and off and make problems in the work place and sneak off together and don’t do their job leaving me to pick up the slack pretty much daily
The regional manager just came in and posted in the break room a calendar of the last month with every time someone was late or called out. The times are inaccurate and don’t take into account the 8 minute grace period allotted per the handbook. Also did not include upper managements late times. And it doesn’t take into account switched shifts or communication with management over appointments and so on.
At this point I feel like their too many nails in the coffin. I’ve been looking for a new job but this stuff is just wild to me.

Girl, ya that sounds super toxic! I'd be looking for a new job ASAP too if I were you. A few red flags:
- Assistant manager sleeping around is messy enough, but spreading nasty rumors is beyond unprofessional.
- On-again off-again managers dating in the office is a distraction and breeds favoritism for sure.
- That calendar call-out thing is shady too - feels like they're setting people up while not holding themselves accountable.
- HR ignoring your legit complaint about rumors is bogus. They should be supporting you.
The lack of boundaries and accountability alone from upper management would be making me hate going to work every day. You don't deserve that nonsense, sis!
Keep swinging that resume around. In the meantime, document everything shady just in case, keep your head down, and remember - this too shall pass. You got this! Don't let those clowns live in your head rent free.
