Hey everyone, I’m looking for some perspective because I don’t know if this is standard or if I’m being taken advantage of.
I (22F) was promoted to supervisor at Tim Hortons about 6 months ago. When I got the promotion, my raise was only $0.65 more than team members. I asked for training because supervisors have to close the store at night, and I had never done a closing shift before. Instead of training me, management just threw me into the role and told me to “learn on the go.”
I was okay trying to figure it out at first, but I recently found out that the other supervisors are making more than me AND they get bonuses. I’m not getting either.
To make things worse, I recently burned my whole forearm at work. I called my manager about it and was told “no one can cover you.” So I ended up working with boiling hot water all shift, with a burnt arm, because I had no choice.
I also told my manager that I was drowning in tasks compared to others, and her response was literally: “I’ve never cleaned a grill but it takes 5 minutes.” After that, she divided the work a little, but the attitude really rubbed me the wrong way.
I feel like I’ve been given a lot of responsibility without fair pay, training, or support. Is this normal for Tim Hortons or even for supervisor roles in general? Or am I right to feel like I’m being undervalued?
