Completely OT, need advice/sanity

I used to be the GM of the hotel I work for, bit stepped down to be director of sales because working 55+ hours a week for $33k just wasn't working out for me. When I started in May, the former GM was fired and I wasn't shown how to do anything. I wasnt even left with passwords to get into accounts. I worked through the summer and just a month ago, asked to step down for my current position. I love being DOS, and I agreed to help the new manager learn the ropes of GM. So in my new role, I didn't have any former DOS to show me anything so I've had to figure that out while organizing a mess while helping the new GM figure out her role.

I felt like I was doing pretty good, in October alone so far I've made $17k in sales revenue, collected over $28k in accounts receivable, and generated $110k in potential revenue by booking group reservations and meeting rooms. We are a 120 room hotel.

On the 17th I got married and took the week off for my honeymoon. This week I went back to work only to hear that my new boss (gm) had talked crap about me all week about how incompetent I was.

I'm totally thrown off and frustrated!!! I already called in tomorrow because I need time to cool off. I also applied for literally 18 jobs. That hotel has been nothing but a nightmare since starting there, but I thought things were looking up. I just feel totally sabotaged! I was so careful not to say anything bad about her to any of the staff.

sounds like this boss is threatened by you and wanted to take the time to bash you when you weren't there to defend yourself. go back and just focus on worl while continuing to apply elsewhere. you can't stay somewhere if your boss is sabotaging you

Ugh there's always someone who wants to stir the pot. you did everything you could considering the circumstances you were presented with.I can certainly appreciate why you would want to leave, if you are not happy, that is probably the best thing you should do. especially consideringhow ungrateful this person is! let them get somebody else to be their stepping stone...

That's really frustrating. I would try to just keep professional and do your best with what you have for the time being. Continue to be pleasant and nice. Try the kill-em-with-kindness route as that seems to irritate the person you're doing it too while continuously improving your own mood. haha. Then just keep on reaching out for new opportunities and know there are better things ahead for you. Sadly there are people like that everywhere, its best to just be the best person/employee you can be and not let them get to you/bring you down.

By the way, congrats on your marriage! I got married that same day!

Thank you all for your encouragement! I've put in for a bunch of jobs. Something has to bite! I wish there were a "like" button on here like Facebook for each of your comments! I do feel better after taking a few days away from that place and deciding to find a different job. ☺
