    Question Demoted in Florida

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida

    So this is the story. The Former manager took a Job at another location and has been there and 1 other location for about 4 and 1/2 years,(not temporary, he went to be a General manager) but he has been running them into the ground. So we went through 3 managers(at my location) and then I took the job(I havent had ANY COMPLANTS!!). Ive been doing this position for 2 and 1/2 years and The owner told my General manager to make the former manager coming back "happen" So now i get the shitty end of the stick so to say I not only get demoted I get a reduction in pay! I think Im being discriminated against because The former manager and The owner are all buddy buddy and Weve never been buddy buddy, also I got less of a Christmas bonus than one of my employees!!! Not only has the person worked there for less time I have she was only the CAHSIER I have been there for going on 8 years! What should I do?

    It might be unfair but it is not illegal to give your job to a "buddy" of the owner & demote you with a reduction in pay -- or to give one employee a larger bonus than another. (unless you have an employment contract to the contrary) All employees do not have to be treated the same as long as you aren't discriminated against due to a protected "class" (ie age, religion, race). Sorry.

    Yep, Betty told you right. nepotism and good ole boy networks are just a fact of life.

    You have two and a half years of managerial experience now- use it to your advantage.
