    my boss is lovely. Its the manager i have a problem with.i amd the youngest person in this workplace as im only 16 and this is my first full time job, she is 30 something and she hits me when she wants something, and her behaviour is very unprofessional for a manager as she bitches about every 1 behing theyre backs. she makes me feel very awkward and treats me like a dog. she is always cutting me dirty looks and making and trying to make me feel stupid. she is really using me and taking me for granted. she has already said to me wen i started the job that she could make my life hell.i think she is discriminating me bcause of my age. Other workers have seen how she treats me and they dont like it. i want to do something about her, as other people have left because of her.but im stronger than them and i want to put an end to her bullying. can anyone tell me what i can do? thanks x

    Reply: Have you talked to your boss (the lovely one) about this? What does he/she say? Also, you said this manager hits you. Do you mean she physically strikes you? Can you elaborate on this?

    Reply: I understand exactly how you feel, Im not the youngest at my workplace but I am a bit shy, my manager always picks on me, says bad comments to me and im so frustrated, today I wrote a note kinda like a diary and am going to let her read it today, I hope I dont chicken out but she really needs to know how I feel, I know that if I try to say everything I wrote in this letter, I may not get it all out or may start crying a bit cause shes hurt me so much "emotionally" this is verbal abuse same with what your going through I would go and talk to your Boss, no matter how old you are your an employee and she should not be treating other workers like that.
