Supervisor talks to me like I'm stupid.... what can I do about this?

There's always going to people that don't like you and that goes for all of us. That unfortunately is just life. I'm not sure what your probation period has to do with talking to them about it though. If doing so will get you fired or whatever, I doubt not being on probation will change that.

Talk about useless advice (talking about virtually everyone who posted on here)... Be honest with her without being a dick... You have to be direct with these things or it will always be a weight on your back. That is no way to live... FIX IT... BenedictArnold7

I had the same problem once. I talked to the HR lady. I made up some BS sob story that let her know I couldn' t work at certain times. I asked if she could do something about it, and she did. She talked to the manager and they shuffled around the schedules . I only saw that **** supervisor only like 5 times that following year (when someone was absent). I  been always good at getting my way though so this may not work for you.

Basically, I'm working this grating retail job to make ends meet since I just moved to a different city.

I have 4 supervisors and one just took this immediate, unwarranted disliking to me. I do all of my work well and I do it on time. I help others. I've made fast friends with my coworkers. But this ***** always finds something to harp on me for. Lately, she doesn't have my work to criticize so she will speak to me like a toddler. I feel like she's trying to get me to lash out at her this way.

Anyway, I'm still in my probation period since I haven't even been there 2 months. I really want to talk to her and tell her that her way of speaking to me is very disrespectful but at the same time I'm worried if I bring it up, they'll label me a "problem employee" and just fire me before my probation period is up. What can I do about this?

kill her. bury her body in the woods.

Deal with it, to be blunt. Sucks, but there's always going to be co-workers that you don't get along with. Not much you can do about that.

Life is not fair. You STFU and work.dangamit

And what do you really expect that will accomplish?

Show her your penis and make her know who's boss.

She could be testing you to see how your react in the workplace.  If you can't react to your boss talking to you like a child, how will you be able to react when a customer goes ape crap on you one day?

:lol: Uh oh...we got a badass over here guys...

find a new job

They know they can act like an ass**** to you because you may have a tough time trying another job otherwise, so they know that you have no choice but to deal with them treating you like sh!t.

Sounds like he never worked, period.

[QUOTE="BenedictArnold7"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Sounds like you've never worked retail. News of that kind of drama in the retail workplace would spread like wildfire. Not saying he shouldn't talk to them about it but it's not always that easy.

Just concentrate on whatever work-related thing you're talking about and ignore her attitude.

I'd just deal with it. It's not like it's that big of a deal. Why would you care what one person you don't like thinks of you?

just put your head down and do a good job (sounds like you are, so keep it up :) ).

Take solace in your coworkers if you consider them friends, or friendly, to gain some measure of happiness in your job, but DO NOT bitch to them about coworkers and management (that will bite you in the ass)

And, above all else, don't take your job too seriously.  Take pride in your work, but don't take the job seriously.  This is the path to infinite disappointment.

Talk normally. It will emphasize how weird she is acting.

If your boss is super nasty, then take your time to blacklist the boss. There are blacklists for bad bosses as well as bad employees.

are you stupid? maybe there's a simple explanation....

[QUOTE="BenedictArnold7"] It is only difficult because you are a coward and you are not used to doing those things. With practice it becomes easier. It is certainly the best thing to do. I have been in those situations and resolved things through honesty without being cruel or disrespectful. It may not work 100% of the time, but it is certainly the worth practicing. BenedictArnold7

There's a simple way of putting the problem to her that might help, and that's just by phrasing the issue so it centres on you. Instead of saying 'Stop talking to me like I'm stupid', which is clearly their attitude problem, say something like 'I feel as though you're talking to me like I'm not capable, and it's effecting my confidence to do my job'. That way, they get the same info and can either consider talking to you differently or can just chalk it down to being your problem - just feels like less of an attack, and isn't as likely to piss people off as telling them straight.MudoSkills

It might be best just to deal with and try not to cause problems over it. Every job there is, there will be a supervisor that you will not like and you just have to put up with them, I know because I've been there.

Who cares. Just work and ignore. In fact, I would actually find it funny if my supervisor was doing this to me. I would just ignore them and keep working hard. Don't feed their fuel by talking. Only talk when you have to, and give short precise responses lol.

kill her. bury her body in the woods.

MakeMeaSammitch

Don't be silly.

Kill her and leave her body hanging in the store. That way the other managers will know that you are the alpha male.

That or just give her what she really wants.....a good root. 

She wants the D.

Sometime that's just how it has to be when that person is your supervisor, you don't like them, they don't like you, but you just have to put up with them because they're in a position above you.

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"] It's kinda weaksauce to let other people treat you like that. That doesn't sound like a good solution at all.

Do your job good and go home. If you can't handle your boss then it is over for you when a shopper is not nice to you.
