One of my managers is a total bitch... when she bitches at me I just roll my eyes and laugh... and there is another manager I'm like... really good friends with and talk trash with about the bitch manager... So, sorry, but I don't have this same problem. Yeah, because you don't give a shit. I care about my job... SilentMovie Posted at 9:32 pm on Mar. 17, 2008 Eh, I dont' give a shit.

If you haven't been working there for long, you'll have trouble knowing where to draw the line, and you're probably just drawing the line as near to yourself as you can. Niick Posted at 9:31 pm on Mar. 17, 2008 I'm technically part of management, and I only get (sometimes) a bit awkward with the General manager. The assisstant managers and supervisors I treat like friends. boy4boy15 Posted at 9:29 pm on Mar. 17, 2008 im the same way. but my manager is weird. All 5 previous replies displayed.
