Fucking manager
Okay, I know my job is one of the lower ones, just a penny about minimum wage, low grunt that works at an mall kiosk. But whatever, a job is a job and that's good enough these days.
My manager is pretty awesome. If I need five days off in a row, I tell her before she makes the schedule and makes it so. All cool and such.
But then, due to the higher ups being shady, said awesome manager is demoted to assistant manager in the store and a new manager is brought in. Former manager: 10 years with the company(I think), 6 years as a manager. New manager: One year with the company, just got trained to be manager.
Former manager wrote out the schedules until April 28 as she was suppose to. I discovered I had the 20th through the 25th off. I made immediate plans to drive to Missouri, visit long missed friends, pick up stuff from my mom's house, and so forth.
New manager, after calling the former manager and getting instructions on how to set up the store, immediate started to rearrange the scheduling for April 15th - 28th.
I'm getting more hours because "Kei has the highest percentage of warranties sold!"
Fuck. No.
I'm emergency back up! I like having 5-10 hours a week! I took this job because it's hard for a business to believe that I was jobless for 2 years after college(despite there being no use for a Japanese Area major in Missouri).
This job is just a little extra spending money.
While coworker 2, who is losing her hours to me and has been with the company for a year longer than I, is paying off student loans, paying off car loans, paying off expensive testing fees, and so forth. She needs the hours that are being shoved on me.
As petty as it is, I can quit. I have a different source of income and I can look around for another job or merely take up going to a university.
You might be the new manager, lady, but you're fucking with things that's been already laid out. I'm still going to call the former manager with questions. And I'm going to listen to her authority before yours. Because, after all, your one year is nothing compared to her ten years.
