My workplace is being run by kids... and I'm saying that as a 19-year-old.
My sweet, competent boss had to retire early after being diagnosed with cancer. It was awful news, and honestly she was one of the few people holding this place together.
Now we're left with management that is basically a bunch of kids. And before anyone comes at me, I'm 19. My frontal lobe isn't fully developed either. That's exactly why I'm confused about how people my age ended up running an entire pool facility.
Ever since these managers took over, the place has gone completely downhill.
Need a shift off? Good luck. One of them just leaves people on read.
One of the managers makes around $50k a year, lives at home, pays no rent, and recently admitted he doesn't even have $1,000 in savings. Somehow that's the guy making management decisions.
They play favorites constantly. Their friends get the best shifts. Other staff get told to stay off their phones, while their chosen few and the managers themselves sit around using theirs whenever they want.
Cleaning duties? Apparently those are for everyone else. The managers spend most of their time sitting in the office doing absolutely nothing while the rest of us handle the actual work.
And here's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed: a toddler pooped in the pool. They didn't bother dealing with it properly because another toddler had already pooped in the pool earlier that day. Their response seemed to be, “Well, there's already poop in there.”
The part that annoys me the most is that these people have the power to fire me despite being the exact same age. They have no more life experience than I do, no more maturity than I do, and based on how things are run, definitely not more competence.
To make it even weirder, our janitor seems to be doing a bunch of their office work. I don't even understand how that's possible.
I've got nothing against young people working hard and earning promotions. But being young doesn't magically make someone a bad manager. Being incompetent, lazy, playing favorites, ignoring employees, and avoiding responsibility does.
This place has become a complete circus, and somehow the clowns are in charge.
