Onpoint1010: I worked with two guys and 3 girls as their security chief in a fast food restaurant as contract staffs. The guys were something else but I managed them although we had back and forth arguments because they were trying to disobey my directives.
As time went by, the then manager told me about a vacant position, "Store Manager" and helped me to apply. Unfortunately, he was transferred before I was fully employed so, he handed me over to the new manager and assistant manager.
I was employed and was happy. Those two boys then began to conspired against me, they are psychologically smart and to an extend fearless and manipulative, I like them for that.
Just of recent, they began working against me with the manager, they stopped helping me to offload goods to the store and so, I decided to stop them from entering the store to charge their phones. But they boldly told me that I can't stop them and if I do, they will beat me. They have muscle more than I do. I knew they can beat me but I decided that I won't back down.
Yesterday, I stopped the now security chief from entering the store but the manager told me to allow them. This is the same manager that supported me initially to stop anyone I want from entering the store house and to lock it each time I want to go out.
Right now, I don't know what to do, I feel like the manager is trying to make me powerless in the office.
I want to know, does the manager have the right to ask the guards to keep entering the store room or I should continue to resist them?
Any store man or woman who has had similar experience, how did you overcome it. Use your sense store no be your permanent place they can change you any day. Improve your interpersonal skills charging phone no be crime so long as nothing gets missing. You're good |
