My manager is seriously crazy. Besides than extreme Type-A personality, I think she also has Bipolar Disorder plus a little bit of schizophrenia and a lot of fake-ness. Let me analyze them:
- Type-A personality: - Basically, she has all the type-A personality traits. Like walk and talk in a very fast pace, expect others to do things as fast as her, very bad tempered, impatient, easily get angry over little things. Oh ya, and she's a workaholic -- she basically work 365days a year. :)
- Bipolar Disorder + Schizophrenia + Fake-ness: - The only reason I said so because she act completely different when the big boss is here and when he's not. When the big boss is not around, she will show all her bad temper etc etc and scold the employees like they don't worth a single cent. Even worse, she will shout at the customers. Or scold them in Mandarin or Cantonese. When the big boss comes (at around 10am everyday), she will smile so widely. And suddenly she become so friendly and easygoing and soft-spoken WTF. And out of a sudden she will work SUPER fast. Trust me, its SUPER fast. She is already a workaholic. And when the big boss leaves, she'll put on her shit face again. Seriously?
- To add on to the second point. She hates one of the employee AKA China girl AKA kitchen hand (Lets call her 'S'). On my first working day, both of them were arguing in the kitchen, shouting and crying. I was like -- what's their problem? And three days ago, at 6.50am, they argued again. I was witnessing the whole thing. The manager started scolding S, and S was busy preparing the food in the kitchen. And then S brought the food out to the bakery, and the manager wanted to go into the kitchen. By right, if you see someone is carrying something, you will automatically make way. But the manager bumped S's shoulder, and the food dropped on the floor. There goes the fight. S started shouting and the manager keep denying and said S bump into her and call S crazy. The scary part is, I was in front of them. And I don't know what to do. And after that, the manager was oh-so-nice to me I felt very uneasy.
My work is not tough nor stressful. I actually enjoy talking (um... not talking also. Just saying "Hi, 5 dollars, thank you, bye") to the customers. There are all kinds of people there, students, workers, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, NZlanders, Aussie... Its interesting to see them everyday. And anticipate what coffee they are going to order, and see their surprised face.
BUT -- to work with one manager like this is totally crazy. I have to survive through this!!!!!!!!!!!
