I'm told that if I cant get my shifts to run better I'm not getting my promotion. I tell them good luck finding someone better. its not like I cant go to any other job anywhere else and not be this successful or more...but it is hard to ditch something I've invested this much of my life to.
Fuck them.
I repaired our grill last night. the far left burner wasn't turning on and had been that way for days. I'm probably the only person who does the workflow calls to bring in contractors because I guess between the other two managers above me neither of them believe they should work harder since being on salary they wont get paid any more for more work. this is why they will fail and I will succeed.
but since it was a holiday weekend I knew it wouldn't get looked at for another few days so I decided I'd look at it myself. immediately what I saw was a patch of wire rather shoddily wrapped in electrical tape. this electrical tape had melted and become worthless so I unraveled it to find that part of the wire had become so ionized and corroded that it was actually completely severed from the lead connected to the terminal. I unplugged the terminal pried out the crappy wire, shaved off the insulation from the other part of the wire and then crimped the lead back on to the shear wire. once I had reconnected it the burner immediately started to work again. with just a pair of pliers and a couple minutes time I did something we would have had to pay a contract electrician hundreds of dollars to do.
tell me anyone else in the running for my promotion could possibly do that? there is no one else working for this store that is as committed to the quality and cleanliness of the store than I am. there is no one else working at this store that cares about proper training and procedural compliance than I am. I deserve to run this store more than the general manager or the apprentice. I want it more and would do better at it. the only reason I am accused of running poor shifts is because my crew talks shit about me behind my back to the other managers because I wont let them dick around anymore. my closes are cleaner than anyone else they just take me longer because I am uncompromising. but at the same time I strive to connect to each crew member personally and genuinely want all of them to improve themselves not just to be better at their jobs but just to develop strong work ethic and life skills...
this is a problem. I am a shell of the person I once was. I have thrown so much of myself away that I just dont know how to be anything but the person that I am at work.
I dont have a relationship or any significant other to deviate towards. I dont have any real friends here anymore. I am empty.
Fuck them.
