Is my manager a nightmare or is this actually normal?

[Anonymous]

I work part time in retail and full time in news which I made clear before I was even hired at my retail job. My schedule is demanding and I had to call out of the retail job a few times in a month but I told them the day before. My manager said if it kept happening they would have to let me go because they were short staffed at the time.
The manager at the retail job is so nit picky but she seems like she does it to everyone but even more for me. We had a team meeting the other day with four of us to talk about sales goals and selling cards and she called me out out loud and said I was a part of the “zero cards club” ( meaning I sold zero cards ). It was only four of us ( me, her, another associate, and another manager but still ).
I also wore a jacket yesterday and she told me to take it off and I agreed and jokingly was like “is it not on the dress code?” And she rudely was like “no”.
She’ll ask me how my news job was. Once she tried to fish for me to talk about how people at my other job were ( anchors who everyone knows because they’re on tv ).
She also will like watch me while I’m talking and I’ll say something funny and she doesn’t react like it’s weird.
The first month I guess she had my number confused and she said she had been texting the wrong number and it turns out she got the last few digits wrong so I wasn’t getting messages
She will always say how I need help with folding clothes and the other day had me refold the whole shelf and I did and thought I did a great job and had her look at it and she was like “on a scale from good to excellent this would be considered good”. Another coworker of mine said she can be really precise about things because she told her she needed to get more clients but the manager doesn’t really seem to let off of me.
She texted me yesterday that she’s cutting my hours for one day because their overspent on the schedule so I’ll only be working two days.
Is this normal behavior of an annoying manager or is she being rude?

From my extensive experience in workplace dynamics, it's not uncommon for managers in retail to exhibit strictness, especially when short-staffed. Your manager's behavior appears to extend to others too, suggesting it's more a management style than a personal issue. While her critique and communication tactics may seem rude, it's important to differentiate personal feelings from professional feedback. I recommend having an open conversation, expressing your concerns without hostility. Understand her expectations and provide context about your other job commitments, ensuring clarity on mutual terms. Finding common ground can help alleviate the tension.

Seems like she is actually a micro-manager. Which is not good, especially for the employees.
