Hello everyone. I was hoping I could ask for some advice, as I'm stuck in a weird position. I love my job, I'm paid well for my responsibilities (16,50$/h, minimum wage is 11,50$) and don't exactly want to leave. I've been talking to the owner of the business quite often about things our manager is doing that are incredibly sleazy, and every time things improve and my input is taken at heart... but my throat is getting dry. I'm considering leaving because of the following issues I seem to not be the only one to experience.
*Biases and gossip*
Our manager is sleeping with our office admin. He is being shitty and picks on new hires often, or just keeps them from socializing with the group. He keeps one office admin and one customer service rep. in his good graces, everyone else isn't on the same level. The manager has also slept with the office admin for a while and is reluctant to correct her at work out of fear their relationship will suffer. She gets treated differently than everyone. Our manager is more than happy to participate with the gossip and snide comments. It's not rare to hear the manager talk about a "friend" going through similar situations he's overheard in the office just to mkae his opinion on the matter known. Sometimes it's about very personal things, yet he reserves himself the right to have an opinion about it. When one of the new hires came in, my coworker told me that we had to "protect her from them". Very concerning to hear about management.
*Lack of trust*
Our recent hires all came to me to ask me to validate if the manager and office admin were indeed shitty to them, or if it was in their heads. I've also gone through the same treatment and was hazed when I first got hired (they both joked about it to my face), and it is keeping me from trusting anyone. Same goes for all new hires. People were often thrown under the bus or mocked about things by the people we should look up to. No new hires feel comfortable bringing up anything to the manager because he is actively shitty to them and perpetuating the issues. We also seem our manager straight up disregarding things the owner wants done or lies through his teeth to him and asks us to cover for him. A few people told me "I don't trust him" about our manager when talking about their issues. I also can't bring up anything to him because he views any critiques as shit talking. Anything I have to talk about, I have to go to the owner directly (especially considering most problems that I need to address are about management).
*Inappropriate tasks being delegated*
Some departments (mine included) finish their work days around 2pm on days that aren't busy. Since we only punch out at 6pm, we'd have to find things to do. We couldn't ask our manager to do anything because he doesn't want to deal with the hassle of correcting mistakes so he refuses to teach us anything. So instead he brings everything to his fuckdoll, and then she complains about being too busy which never fails to start the gossip machine and turn most of the office against a few people. Our manager also HATES training people and usually just sits around for a few days and makes small talk, then he leaves them on their own at day 2. He then gets pissed about newcomers making mistakes. I've had to show our new hires a lot of things, including the view modes we use (which is puzzling because it's the first thing I noticed when I walked over to look at what they were asking me about; I have no idea what the fuck our manager was even looking at while they were working) just because they lacked proper training. The last hire was even worse, he got dumped into my section while our manager started working on inventory after training him for half a day. I was instructed to train him and wasn't allowed to discuss it. I was not thrilled to be stuck training someone without proper notice or discussion about it but I still did it to the best of my ability until the owner straightened things up with the manager. I let the owner know that it was unacceptable to make my department do jackshit because we were seen as incompetents, but suddenly seem to have enough knowledge to train someone because it's convenient. It was insulting at best that I was given the tasks that usually required a huge pay adjustment, while management was doing something unrelated that he could've delegated to our team easily and *was actually something we had been demanding for a while*.
I'm tired of having people come up to me as a neutral party, because this should be the manager. I love my job, I adore working with the owner and he has always been great to me and appreciative. Any time I have concerns, he works hard to fix whatever I bring onto the table... but again, this feels like what a manager should do. I feel like I spend my days rectifying my manager's behaviour or uptaking his role in weird ways. I started looking at jobs around, and honestly... I know I have it pretty fucking bueno right now. Nothing seems to pay anything close to what I'm paid now. I'm not sure it would be worth changing jobs over. I have a hard time adjusting to new routines and big changes like jobs, it does add to the equation.
Is it even worth trying to fix this place, or should I just pack and go? Has anyone else been faced with a decision like this before? How did it turn out for you? Any tips about how to manoeuvre through this to my advantage?
TL;DR: I've been trying to fix my workplace for a while and things improve, but am not sure if it's worth trying or if I should just leave and go elsewhere
