It appears that Satan will not be fired from work, even though there is plenty of evidence of the payroll fraud that she committed. And down south near Athens they fired plenty of other managers for the same thing. I guess she gets a slap on the wrist and a "Don't do it again".
They haven't officially said anything but every day that goes by without Satan being fired just dwindles our hope of getting rid of Her.
Instead, the person who reported her is getting a promotion to another store and their replacement is coming from Satan's former store. (Reynoldsburg) Imagine that, a third person to come to our store from Reynoldsburg.
D2 is the only one who has our back now in the store and he only has a small amount of power. But he's planning on moving on now too, he can't work with Satan either. Nor can I. I've intensified my job search and I have my resignation ready to be handed in at a moments notice. I'm half tempted to put my notice in next Thursday, just before I leave for a week of vacation and right before inventory.
My physical and mental health is deteriorating so long as I work for and around Satan. She permeates the whole store and you walk in and there is just an aura of unhappiness. No one is happy and you can feel it in everyone. People are caring less and less about the job they do and the only thing keeping them there is they need to make a living.
It frustrates me to no end because I do care, gods help me I do. I keep telling myself that it doesn't matter how hard I work no one will notice whether I did a good job or not and no one will care, so why bother trying so hard to do the job that I do as well as I try to do it. I think about things that could help out the store or make things easier for people or just stupid stuff. Example, I was driving home yesterday and the Waste Treament Plant on the way home is having a hazardous material collection on Saturday..so I thought about the growing collection of spray paint bottles we have sitting back on the damages shelf that we need to write off and dispose of. However we can't dispose of them because he do not have the faculties to properly dispose of them. I told my boss about that today and he said it was a great idea and they would have to look into it. It gets them out of the store, out of our inventory and safely disposed of. Then I thought to myself why I cared if they can get rid of them or not and it just made me angry.
I'm angry and frustrated because I can't see anything that I can do to make things better at the store. Satan already has numerous complaints made against her up at corporate HR but they haven't done anything or apparently care. I can't talk to my district or regional managers because they love Satan because she's such a great manager and does such a great job improving sales and things like that. Sad thing is, Satan won't care if there is a rash of people quitting, hell she'd probably be happy because she can bring more people from Reynoldsburg over or that she is getting rid of the bad apples. There was a reason why our store was able to make it over the $6M mark this past year and not just good leadership, but we cared about what we were doing and why we were doing it. Now we do it because we have to or else get fired or talked to or whatever.

In semi-unrelated news I'm thinking of signing up for a kickboxing class or something like that to be able to get some of the aggression our of me that is building up to a dangerous and explosive level but won't be able to do anything until I come back from the beach. The beach is one of the few things that keep me going, only a week 'n half til we leave for a week of sun and fun and no Satan.
