Except here it seems the issue is with the boss/manager and not the owner. If they were to take their complaints to the owner and was still brushed away, then that’s a different story. Managers come and go, owners do not. If it was a good job, then it worth fighting.

Managers come and go, owners do not.

As much as "cool bosses" want to act cool, hiring a shitty manager and then hiding behind their shitty behavior is pretty common for "cool bosses" who aren't actually "cool bosses" because they like having a middle manager shithead to blame all their shitty decisions on.

They hired the manager, what does that say about them? The idea that it doesn't say something about the kind of person they want working for them is a joke.

Is "what do you think about social security income/disability income?" a common interview question?
