Work blah. Me no like.

What a day. What a goddamned motherfuck of a day. Yesterday was cool; slept most of it, then went and did the gaming thing with Whyrl and Bingo - not bad, but not brilliant. Vented my spleen about a bunch of things to em while waiting for the train home; seems I've turned full circle in my moods again and once more, the dam that is my mind has

Re: Bosses from HELL!!!

[dilph]

The 'boss' in in canada currently; and yes, he does work there when he's in the country. The focus of my rant there is the store manager - utterly clueless, the social skills of a rotting fish, and an outspoken bitch of a girlfriend who thinks she knows how the store should be run. He used to be a good employee, by all counts, but the store changed hands and he got offered the managership basically because he'd been there the longest. Bad, bad, bad move. We lost over 10 (experienced) staff during the changeover; that's when I was hired. We're still slowly losing folks, and those we hire to replace last on average, a week and a half. We've hired 12 folks since I signed up; 3 of them are still with the store, and we've lost another three experienced staff since. Those who are still there are mostly there because they don't want the hassle of finding something else; but no-one is happy to be there. Bossman is due back from canada soon; when he gets back, we should have a proper staff-meeting, and I intend to raise my issues with the way things are then. The boss himself isn't /that/ much better; a more abrasive personality, but I think a nicer guy - he's not insecure and trying to intimidate us into respecting him, for one. And he's far too focused on how much money he can avoid spending on the place - fair enough, it's his business, and he's there to make money. Expected. But he takes it that step too far; shooting himself in the foot, so as to speak, to save a couple of bucks.

I meant the store manager sorry.
I just sometimes call anyone working above me the boss.
