I work at a restuarant and have only been there since April. There are three different managers there at different times and one of them seems to have some sort of problem with me or maybe it's just my imagination. The other managers I get along with great they're very friendly and don't seem to have a problem with how I do my job. But this one always seems angry at me even shooting dirty looks my way, but he doesn't act this way towards other employees. He genuinly just doesn't seem to like me and the worst part is I don't even know why, and have been given no input from him why other.
What do I do? Continue doing my job trying to ignore this person or should I just out right ask him what his problem is? Or maybe do something else I haven't thought of?
If anyone has any suggestions of what I should do or has been in this situation
PLEASE! Help me out

squeaker....i've worked various jobs with all different kinds of people and managers. if 3 of your managers it's going well with, then there's probably something wrong with the other one. you need to handle managers delicately. if it was me i'd just try to avoid him when possible. i know it's not always possible. but first everyone cannot like everyone. if that is all that it is you just have to live with it. if there is something about your work it is his job to address it. otherwise if you bring up to him--what's your problem---you might be unleashing something. it's best to do your job and try to ignore him. there are some strange people that think funny in their head who are managers. i've had some. it's not easy and i know you want to do a good job and want everyone to think that you are, but not all people care about making it a good workplace environment. hang in there.

Thanks greenglitterturtle, you're probably right and it's normally how I handle things is to just try and forget about it and go on with my work. Just wasn't sure if this was the right way to do things in this situation. Sometimes he can just get right under my skin and make it hard for me to enjoy my job which for the most part I do.
Anyways thank you for your response.

Maybe he just doesnt know the real u yet since u havent been there that long. Just give it time and maybe start talkin 2 him more or just ignore him and maybe he will treat u just like he does others. Some pp act weird around others when they dont quite knkow u yet so just give it time.
