When everyone at your job has a problem with you, the problem is usually… well, you. But other times, your workplace is filled with a lot of bad apples. That is what happened in this case for a hotel worker whose job title was assistant general manager. Her GM was out of town, so she was left in charge of the hotel. Only a couple of problems arose, and OP made sure to text her manager about them. She thought it was all good, but apparently, it was not. Her manager came back from his trip and called a meeting where he told her that EVERYONE had a problem with her. A bit bold, in my opinion, but hey, general managers don't tend to be the brightest crayons in the box. Most of the time I have no idea how they climbed the management ladder.

    Last week, my emotionally unpredictable GM was out of town, so I was in charge of the hotel. It was chill. Only a couple major problems, and I text him about them. That was about it. I thought it was fine. Apparently not.

    Today he called me in his office to tell me "EVERYONE" had a problem with me. One of them was the housekeeping inspector. She had called me before her day off freaking out because the HSK exec was sick with CD and couldn't come in, and she didn't wanna have to come in. I told her not to worry about it. I ended up covering the day for both of them, and it was fine.

    Instead of a THANK YOU for me coming in on MY off day to do a job I'm not trained for just so SHE could go to a ball, she went and complained about my "attitude". And I guess a lot of other people had complaints too. The whole meeting was basically telling me how I don't seem to be much of a people person. He called the FOM in for her to complain about me too about some minor stuff last week and some minor thing that

    happened a month ago. It was basically a sh t fest. Meanwhile, I had to pick up the pieces of the GM's random tantrums. There's a company staying at our competing hotel, and he's been pouting about it, wondering why they aren't staying at his. Nevermind the fact that he completely lost his mind on one of the employees and actually told him he wasn't allowed back. This is the st I had to work with.
