Fighting hard to rid the world of evil, one demon at a time.
The district manager just called me again. I told her what I'd done, and that I have no intention of returning to the store, and that he'd spoken to me like a child and a dog with the "this is what you're going to do" schtick, and I had emails I could forward to her that demonstrate the sort of tone he gives us all, though it's mild in comparison.
She asked me if I was holding fast to my resignation, and I told her it depended on what my options are. Given the circumstances, I cannot keep my position in another store, because of the way things work, but I told her I can't and won't return to the same store if he's there. I told her I'd be willing to accept a voluntary demotion, and she is looking into one possibility for me in that regard, although that, quite honestly, would be temporary at best, mostly to provide me with a continuance of my income ad interim. I did not tell her that, but I don't need to.
I am going to go into a nearby store and access the intranet and send her some of the emails that are demonstrative of his general disrespect for us. This is not and has not been a "me" problem, so my doing this is not only standing for myself, but also for my peers. I do not care if this pans out in such a way that I am still no longer employed with the company, or at least not in the same store. I will, however, be pleased if it results in something that decreases the stress on my peers, my friends, my brothers and sisters. One thing I can say about my peers as a team is that we, ourselves, have been a very solid and caring group, with a great deal of solidarity, which may be in large part due to the antics of the evil boss. I care deeply for each and every one of them, and as such this is for me, but also for them.
Furthermore, I think it to be for my crew I left behind. I want better for them than this busting their asses for no respect and appreciation. My last night, not knowing for sure that it WOULD be my last night, I bought them cookies. Not from company funds, mind you, from my own pocket. Because whether anyone else appreciates them, I did.
Meanwhile, I've also received that phone call regarding the one job prospect, and an email on another one, so I'll be following up with those also.
