I hate how my job affects my life

And I can't wait to be able to quit.
I'll have a job interview on Thursday and I really [i]really[/i] hope that I will get that job because I don't know how much longer I can last at my current job.. I mean today is my day-off and I can't even enjoy it because I feel so anxious. Tomorrow I will be working with my manager and I'm so afraid that she will lecture me again about every single godsdamn thing I apparently do wrong. I've never had such a toxic, manipulative person as my manager before..

How do you learn if not told when you are wrong?

@Olderguy Kernel of truth however people abuse this whole "teaching you" thing.

@FloorGenAdm true but employees also expect everything to be perfect all the time. Suck it up sometimes.

@Olderguy Well it sounds like her boss tells her what she does wrong on everything because her boss is a micro manager and only her boss knows how do do it right.

@Olderguy yea like Jimmy said it's about micromanagement.. plus some people are manipulative if ur employee is already effective then u need to control them all the time, give them free space n mind to work.. some times letting go helps more than trying to educate.. but that's to be judged from person to person, no one likes to be controlled

@Olderguy Does this sound like constructive criticism or something a good manager would do: For the first few months she kept telling me that I'm doing great. But now apparently I don't smile or say hi to our customers anymore which I can assure you is NOT true but at first I tried to hear her side of the story and do better; smile even wider and make sure that every single customer was treated well on my watch. But no. Nothing I've done so far has been good enough. And things that my co-workers have done wrong or in a way she doesn't agree on are suddenly all my fault because apparently I should be the one telling my co-workers, who by the way have been working there for YEARS that they shouldn't do things the way they've done them for all these years. Others have told me that our manager is quite new and doesn't really get along with anyone who dares to disagree with her. I think the fact that I am getting along with the others is pissing her off even more and now she is putting all her frustration on me because I'm new and don't have guts to talk back.
