Recently we got a new Assistant Manager after getting rid of an evil one. We pretty much chased her out of town with torches and pitchforks. To give you an idea of the experience, she came into our store and immediately started changing stuff right under the store manager's nose. Honey, you've been with the company less than five years and technically your position does have "Trainee" in the title. Plus the manager's been in this store 10 years, so just shut up and get trained.
Anyway, we now have a younger gentleman (around 24-25) and right from the start it's been so much better. Last night I asked him how he's liking our store. And no hesitation at all he said he loves it. None of that generic "Oh it's good. Everyone is really nice." Nope, he said he loves it and he's really happy to be here.
I may not like my job most days but I do like my coworkers. Mostly, some I'd rather work with than others. As corny as it sounds we are like a family, a dysfunctional one but still family. I've told my store manager that the more I hear about other stores the more I'm grateful to work where I do.
Okay, mushy moment over. I'll get back to my grumpy self.
