help wanted
I wanted to start this thing out on the right foot, seeing as a lot of my thoughts lately could be considered somewhat positive. More so ponderings lately, rather than rants. Tonight would fall into the RANT category, work-related, of course. I fear I will not be able to sleep if i don't get this off my chest. normally i'd consider sleep as a very good reset button of life, but something as shitty as today really stuck with me, and I'd hate to wake up in the morning feeling the same rage that i do right now.
yesterday was a manager meeting that consisted of my district and our neighboring district. that's like a room of 35 store managers, 2 district managers, and maybe our regional and lp were there. they discussed new company initiatives, and how to execute them in our stores. it's probably went something like this "blah blah blah downloadable content blah blah call of duty blah blah top 25 used sections blah blah holiday season"
today i woke up with a pretty good game plan. I was determined to go into work and get a certain number of things done. those things were - sending out defectives(that my manager DIDN'T do on monday) sending out overstock shipments (4 of them) and arranging the back room because there is a job fair tomorrow(run by the district manager at my store).
When i arrived at work, my district manager was already there "prepping" for the job fair. He started spewing directions at me, comparative to a soda bottle exploding. "Oh megan, here are some things we spoke about at the manager meeting" I basically got an 8 hour meeting thrown at me in the span of 15 minutes, which completely disrupted my flow. what about my goals for the day? he also put across the idea that these were all things that should've been completed already, even though this hadn't even been communicated yet to the store teams since the meeting.
me = pissed.
i couldn't shake it. rest of the day was terrible. looking for jobs right now. i really do hate gamestop. i hate the people i work for, and i hate that they can always ask more of their employees but never give us the resources to achieve such goals.
i got home and tom is sick. so... i don't want to bother him with my work rant, considering that he is experiencing the same bullshit, if not more. so he is in bed, and now i can't sleep. and again, stating, i DO NOT want to wake up tomorrow feeling like crap. (day off!)
going to hang with james, so i can eventually be tired and sleep.
