Whelp, yesterday I asked my assistant manager to take me out of apparel.
I can't even write it all down. I tried to but there's too many details.
The short of it is my department manager is a lying bitch who told our store manager that I "intimidate" the other associates.
First anyone heard of it was yesterday, when we finally sat down with two assistant managers. She shouted at me, in front of them, for "always reporting on the other associates."
Which I only do when they do something I need to report about because I don't the authority to do anything other than report on them. I do not "Tattle" as she once put it. I just hate it the way I have to work twice as hard as everyone else because they're ot doing their jobs properly.
That's all I can say at this moment because I really am trying my best not to let it eat me alive.
But I told my ASM, if they have such a problem with me in apparel, I don't want to be there. Take me out of the equation and they should have no excuses for not getting anything done.
He said, "But I really like you over there. You're a hard worker and your phone ettiquette is dead on."
I'm like well, look at what she said about me. She clearly doesnt want me over there and if all the other associates are so bothered by me, I shouldn't have to walk on egg shells around them.
So he's going to fix it so that I no longer have to be resposnbile for the fitting rooms and I'm going to work in the Home department.
I hate that a department I put so much work in would stab me in the back like this but fuck them. That's all there is to it.
It's fine though. She's the only member of management that has a problem with me and there are a lot of people who wanted me in their departments. I decided yesterday to start branching out. Leaving my "snow globe" as I called it.
I loved apparel because it was safe. It was an isolated part of the store and people loved my work.
So why shouldn't I be able to do the same in another part of the store. Customers are always telling me that I'm the only person who asks them if they need anything. They're sending their friends and relatives to me because I actually take them to the product they're looking for.
I'm sorry if that makes me a praise junky but it's nice to actually be appreciated by everyone for a change, instead of only ever hearing lip service hand jobs.
