Well this is mostly just for me to get off my chest. But lately I hate going to work. Our Department manager retired, and for months I was lead to beleive that I was going to be the one taking his place. I was told though that some guy from a different department would be getting it instead. I was upset!! No I am pissed!!! I have gone out of my way, put in extra time and energy for this. An I have ran the department when the other took vacations and sick days. I was told I did a great job, and that the Boss man knew I could handle it but.. and it's a big one to me. The reason for this other person getting it is because he only has himself to worry about and I have kids!! I could see if my kids where young, but come on they are 18, 17, and 13!! They are not babies anymore. An I personally beleave it's because I don't have a penis. So once again this place has screwed me over. That's the 5th time I've been screwed over!!

This new person is supposed to have run this department before, just at a different store. An so far, I can't see it! He doesn't know how to make an order, doesn't know how to make a time sheet, when asked where something is doesn't know. Doesn't take charge of anything, just lets everyone do their know thing. Every sugguestion I've made has been shot down, the way we did things completely changed and made worse. An a new comer to our department has shown her true colors by being 2 faced. Over steps herself runs down anything I say. Then has the nerve to call me immature, for telling her that I have a problem with the way she's doing things. I can see if I had been nasty, but I just told her that I don't think she has any business getting into something that has nothing to do with her. Now how can that be being immature!!.

Well things came to a head today, once again she says I being immature and I need to let it go and butt out!! I could feel the anger build and I knew if I said anything else I would have lost it completely, so I told them that I'll do what I need to do and they can do whatever even go to hell for all I care and left for the day. I thought of going to the boss man but I don't think it'll do any good, for I know who the boss man pets are. An I'm not one of them. I will not kiss anyones ass for any reason. It's not me and it'll never be.

So I am going to look for a different job, but I'd like to hang in there until my vacation comes. But the end of Oct. nows looks so far away.

(lots of potty mouth)      

Ok all better now!!

Seems there is alot of upheaval in the area of careers right now.  The market is so very thin for other employment opportunities, but I know a dread going to my job everyday.  That may be part of the reason  "boss's" are playing kick ass with us right now.   Because they know we have to take it or quit.

I always tell mine I wasn't looking when I found this one , so I'm sure if I want, I can find a better one.

You can have mine!

Sundown

you are sure better than I am !!! I would have told them to SHOVE IT UP THEIR ASS    I have done so many times before.  Oh yea     that's   why I work for myself    hang in there sister october is just a month 1/2 away....

Bri

I'll take yours Sundown.  I only have three frickin days on the schedule this week!     I keep telling Laura over and over again I NEED more days!  She hired me as full time then hired to many people so most of us only get part time hours.  And the owner apparently won't let her fire the people who seem not to want to work.  I had to agree to work as a floater between that store and the sister store just to get 3 or 4  (They implied by floating I could get a full week but when I only get 1 or 2 at each place it doesn't work out like that!)

As soon as I know where I am going to be living next month I am going to renew my job search.  Again.  This time I plan to put a little magic behind it.

Sorry to hear your job is doing this to you! Been there myself a few times. I've put the extra time in doing the bosses work too just so in the case they did leave they had to look no further. Sad thing is you do it and then they get this other person in and expect you to train them....NOT. Back off let them make their mistakes and do what your job is suppose too. They will either make it or leave. I had one manager leave cause she depended on me so much to be there for her that when I took Ill for a week she stressed out and ended up quitting. I ended up with the job because of it not that I think of it now that it was any prize lol

One thing to note though on behalf of the new boss and not to hurt you but I've been there too is that the owner is the one who put her there and well she is the one your resentment to not getting the postion is being targeted at when maybe it should be at who put her there. If you are not an assitant manager I would just tell the owner when he wants you to cover her vacations that your job title is not that and that a salary increase and a change in title would get you to take over so she can.

I have to say though it was pretty bold for them to overlook you because you had kids. That smells like discrimination to me! If any higher up ever told me that I would of said you want to put that in writting? lol I would think a mom would be a better choice because they do have kids to support and less likely to job hop.

Anyways, I've ran on to much here lol Best of luck in all you do!
