I post about him a bit lately, but I think I finally understand why he hasn’t been nice to me. He was talking to someone today and was telling them about an incident between a customer and a gay worker. The customer was using slurs and being hateful towards the worker. The customer ended up being kicked out of the restaurant. But the manager went on to say he “doesn’t give a damn what you are but don’t shove it down his throat.”This one cover manager at my job is driving me insane. I don’t like him and I can tell he doesn’t like me either. Thank god he’s getting borrowed by other stores from now on so he can train to be a real manager. That means he’ll only be here like once or twice a week. I don’t know why he just doesn’t like me for no reason at all. I wish I knew why, although I’m pretty sure it’s a stupid reason. I just do my job and ignore him.
Honestly, I’m still using the she/her pronouns in real life and at work but I do present very masculine. I really don’t resonate with those pronouns but that’s just easier right now at my job that I’ve been at for over a year and with my grandma around that’s very set in her ways… but without going off topic, I think the manager feels some type of way about the way I’m presenting myself despite me being afab. He’s very political and I think he’s aware that I feel off being referred to as a woman/female and with feminine pronouns. If that’s the reason, I find that very screwed up.
We used to have a worker that was very openly transgender. They are mtf. She had a deep voice but her name tag had her birth name on it which confused a lot of people. She doesn’t work there anymore but we were cool when she did. The manager didn’t seem to like her very much either.
Whatever the reason is, I’m very well aware it shouldn’t bother me. I just felt like we could’ve been friends, but I’m not sure I want to be if this is the case. Although, I’m good friends with both of his friends, but they are both cisgender woman. Strange, isn’t it?
