Am I a bad employee or is my manager singling me out?
for context ive worked at dollar general since I think the 18th of april of this year, I had no real in store training and only did very specific CDL's. It took a bit but I got into a somewhat comfortable groove when working the till and stuff and I have no issues with the 2 other managers.
When I was hired the General Manager told me that shes a bitch, like straight up told me this when she hired me... but I dont think this is just her being a bitch. all other employees are female and I am the only biological male worker, I was hired specifically to stock dogfood and lift heavy stuff basically. anyway every single time I work a shift with the gm I am afraid to talk to her, she says to ask if I need help or want to know how to do something but whenever I do she acts like shes scolding me and has a tone as if shes incredible pissed off at me, even saying stuff like "What is it this time" when I go to ask her to take a item off the customers transaction because they dont want it anymore, She has a tone as if its my fault for customer mistakes.
One day she told one of the managers I was working with to make sure I rotate the shampoo, bodywash, condiments and chips and anything else up front. Now it was a somewhat busy night that night but I rotated the bodywash, shampoo, chips and I looked over the condiments and it all seemed good, I did forget some of the makeup up front but as I mentioned it was a busy night. and the bodywash isle was a MESS. But I brought everything forward and made things look nice in those isles I did but when I was confronted by my GM about that night she said all I did was stand around and stare at the items, that I didnt do anything, and whenever I try to explain she just cuts me off and says "no you didnt!" Then that night when I was rotating those areas again she gets be and says im not doing it right and brings that item forward a few centimeters to fully cover the holes....
I swear shes just nitpicking me, she says to only mop when the doors close at 10 and then gets mad when its 10:00 and I am not done mopping... I havent even started yet..
2 of my coworkers, one was a manager but she transferred to another store have both said that they would have left by now cause the GM is treating much worse than the other employees, hell when the GM is on shift im afraid to even use the ladder because whenever I try to use it when shes on the same shift as me I get scolded saying I dont need it...
I can mop and sweep and she will say "the floor looks like it hasn't been mopped for swept in days".
Ive also seen how my other coworkers rotate and work and if I did the same thing I would be threatend with a write up. This isnt a exaggeration every time I work with my GM she threatens to write me up for something?
Like how can I open a coin sleeve and deposit it into the till IF a customer cant be near me...
I CANT OPEN THE TILL WITHOUT A MANAGER OTHERWISE? While im having to deal with several customers and also rotate and clean shes taking her 5th break of the day and staring a whole through my head from the breakroom while eating a dill pickle. I dont understand how she wants me to work because shes constantly breaking rules like letting someone buy cigars without looking at their id because their regulars or friends? Ive seen her turn her head around while the till is open and a customer is waiting.
Sure I could be a bad employment, I could be overthinking this, maybe im too slow? I dont know though.. Somehow she can have a earpiece in and talking to people and constantly ignore customers or me but I cant have bone conduction headphones which dont cover my ears? I cant explain anything or explain myself without her cutting me off saying "No you wont" or something..
So genuinely am I bad employee or did she only hire me to "legally" bully and or harass a biological male..? As I mentioned my other coworkers said they wouldve left by now if they were me.
Edit: also a detail I forgot to mention is according to my other coworkers shes been through at least 10 other associates in the year the locations been opened, I cant remember the exact number but I think its around 30 but to be safe Im saying at least 10
