The Rant…

I haven’t been welcome in my store in almost eight years.

Eight years ago a little later in the year than this our managers switched places; we got the Auburn manager and our awesome manager went up to Auburn. It was the end of happiness at work as far as I was concerned. It felt like I did nothing right and I was a troublemaker for being a mom and a student. I had my schedule as flexible as possible with my class schedule but I was taking a full load plus working and I loved it until she came. With in a week she hired two new people and was working at molding them into her own image although I told her when we first talked that I was willing to do anything and everything. By the end of the first month she had pulled up another trainer who was not yet a par 2. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle and lost a lot of my zest for the job. I felt like it was a huge slap in the face actually.

Now here we are eight years later and she’s taking it out on the whole staff. She’s promoting one of the newest employees to a position a lot of us would like to have. I have fairly decent availability but things keep me from doing both days on the weekend although the pay increase would make it a lot easier to give up those weekend days. I’ve always been a good sport there even if I have been fighting a certain person full time. There are two people there that are furious and I’m not thrilled with the choice of Marie. She doesn’t do things the way that we have been taught to. SHe ignores the guests when we are on a wait; she does tasking when she should be tuned into loss prevention and guest service. Seriously. She acts like she is the one the store should revolve around and does it right in front of the guests its just not right.

Okay enough of my pity party and rant. I’m just sick of the way things are going and the way I feel there.
