What motivated me to come to work

I was told by the owner that he could pay me 12$-15$ an hour, 40 hours a week. They made me the foreman after 3 months. I did that job for 1 1/2 years now they have me doing cleaning up the warehouse without any help from my coworkers. I feel unhappy there, unsafe. My office manager promoted me to his personal assistant but there is no set work for me, I float around helping everyone yet he accused me of not doing any work in the past 6 months. They don't respect me but my manager wants me to show respect to everyone which I do.

Hi Carlos Martinez - that doesn't seem like a great work environment. If he promoted you, but then accuses you of doing no work, you need to talk to him about your responsibilities as his personal assistant and what he expects out of the role from you.

Not knowing your job duties and such is a recipe for disaster.

In the meantime, I would encourage you to look elsewhere for employment while you have the talks there. Even if you choose to stay, you can use another job offer as leverage in negotiations for better compensation or benefits.

Best of luck Carlos. The community is here for you!
