set me on fire.
hi, hi, hi. not that anyone reads this, but i wanted a place to vent that a certain someone wouldn't find.
work has been steadily driving me nuts. a friend of mine, who's the manager of a store of ours in viejas, has seriously injured her foot. i'm watching the store for her and filling in as active manager, much to the "disappointment" of my own manager. for those of you who don't know, i'm the asst. mngr at a typical mall store. but anyways, my own manager has pretty much "flipped her shit" and has put in her two weeks notice. the reason for this is pretty much due to her own paranoia and miscommunication. i'm going to be trained for a manager's position, and my own manager feels betrayed, however no betrayal has ever taken place. our district is already three managers down, including the one i'm covering for, and this is seriously bogus for my own to flip out and quit herself. if anyone has commited a betrayal, it's her. i thought she would be happy for me, as most friends usually like to see their friends move up in the world. my previous manager is looking to head into school full time and if she does this, another store will open up, come february. i thought it would be awesome for he two of us to run stores together (me and current manager). apparently, she didn't see it that way. in her eyes, i'm abandoning her, and it's seriously frustrating the hell out of me. what's worse is that i think she's poisoning the other girls (in our store) against me, and that's just very uncool. she can take out her anger on me as much as she wants, but leave the other girls out of it. they did nothing wrong, and what's more, she's abandoning the girls right before the biggest season of the year, claiming, "it's not my responsibility anymore." but that's just it, she never took anything as her own responsibility. she was willing to let the store run itself into the ground whenever she was having a personal issue. i don't know about the rest of you, but i thought one should be able to keep their professional life seperate from their personal one. who knows? she'd been looking for a reason to quit for a long time, and here, she's got one. i just wish i didn't have to get pulled into he middle like this. i feel at odds because this whole time, i've been doing what's been asked of me by my district manager instead of my store manager. but hey, chain of command, right? everyone keeps telling me not to stress over it, that this is my time to show what i've got and what i'm capable of. but how can i not, when i'll probably have to take over the store and face those girls when i get back? who the hell knows what's going to be waiting for me in the weeks to come?
ah hell guys, i think i need a drink.
