So blah blah blah, you all know my moans about my work by now lol but WAIT.............there's more
I mentioned in the other thread that I never got the managers job, what I didn't mention (I don't think) is that the SECOND I met our new area manager I knew he was not going to give me the job...you know that feeling you just get? and I told our Lead store manager as much when I phoned her after the "interview".
Now my suspicions were confirmed when I spoke to the supervisor at my local Alldays store.....a store I'm in at least twice a day (and funnily enough the store our new area manager used to be in charge of before he got his current job). I told Brian that I hadn't been successful and he promptly informed me that area manager had been in the store and basically offered the managers job on a plate to one of his old staff
....BEFORE HE EVEN MET ME !!!!!
Now obviously this irked me somewhat even tho Anne had turned him down flat. But I decided to bite my tongue ............until NOW
.....oh yes indeed it gets better
I went into the store today to buy my paper as usual on the way to work and was very quickly told that area manager has been at it again.......he phoned them yesterday to offer Brian a job again on a plate. I said in no uncertain terms to Brian "well no offence Bri, but until I am officially offered deputy manager, the supervisors job is not up for offer..............it's not vacant to give anyone else" to which he replied...
"it WAS deputy manager he offered me"
Ohhhhhhhhhhh yes...........area manager has offered ....no strings attatched MY FECKIN JOB !!!! the one that I am being PAID to do and the one that I was promised if manager fell through...............MY FECKIN JOB !!!
Well, I'm very sorry a@@wipe area manager but you do realise this means war. My union rep will be getting a phonecall very shortly about this.......my lead store manager will be informed about the whole thing and so will Human Resources ....yes indeedy doo.........I can play nasty too
And in case he doesn't get the message?...
I have in interview for another job next saturday (yay me) but woe is me.....I can't get anyone to open up my store for me.....I'm gutted truly I am.....so gutted in fact that I have told my lead store manager that I am taking the day off regardless lol....she laughed (thankfully) .... so looks like they're gonna have a closed store on the busiest most profitable day of the week ...............my heart bleeds
.
PLUS (oh god yes I don't do things by half) starting from Monday, or as soon as my membership fee for the union has cleared..............the store will be closed for one hour a day at lunchtime so I can take a full hours break off the premises as I am legally entitled to do *giggles*
OH YES ! and Brian (bless his cotton sockies) also hinted that area manager may not quite have left his old position by his own will..............I believe he said a slight push was given (he is investigating this story on my behalf and will tell me as soon as he finds out)
Sooooooooooooooo Mr uphisown*ss area manager................you wanna bend the rules? 'go ahead but don't expect me to keep my mouth shut
shame you didn't bank on me being quite good friends with all the staff at your old store but hey that's life huh?.............and guess what......it's gonna suck for you
Geez I sound so spiteful lmao
