The reason I was left on my own is because I was one of the few who could be trusted to actually get stuff done, and then people start complaining about how I never do any cleaning or returns. It's like what do you expect, I'm always doing that stuff, your just not here to see it and when I have the extra hands I have to take care of things that only can be done by someone with my level of system access while at least I can count on you to take care of the cleaning without messing up too much.<BR/><BR/>_VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1152743463550627032006-07-12T18:31:00.000-04:002006-07-12T18:31:00.000-04:00All I can say is AMEN AMEN AMEN!!All they do is ju...All I can say is AMEN AMEN AMEN!!<BR/>All they do is just that walk around bossing others around. They only got where they got because 1. they look good and 2. they know how to say sir and how high would you like for me to jump sir.

Getting a management job these days is more a matter of having connections than it is any kind of talent. Look at the bozo in the White House for example.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1117145755688251492005-05-26T18:15:00.000-04:002005-05-26T18:15:00.000-04:00Hey, I know what you mean. Of course, my store is ...Hey, I know what you mean. Of course, my store is a lot worse than yours is in my opinion. I live in Washington, and they don't know what supercenters are around here, but we need them here. A hometown Wal-Mart just isn't big enough for the amount of customers that come into that store. It also has a horrible design. Anyway, I only had to worry about 18 registars instead of 25 or whatever you have to worry about, and my managers were yelling at me because there were lines. We don't have self-checkouts, so there isn't much I can do about the lines. If all the registars are opened, everyone including the people on the sales floor are on a registar, then there isn't much else I can do, unless they want to jump on the registar (heaven forbid they get their hands dirty). In the end, they end up putting every CSM on the registar and taking over. They don't take in consideration lunches or breaks, they just put you on. Then, after everything has calmed down, they leave you with your draw short and a mess up front, only to come back up there five minutes later to ask why the hell it hasn't been cleaned up and what the hell is wrong with you because you can't manager propertly! I would love to see them do actual work within the store instead of jumping down our throats because they can't do their jobs. <BR/><BR/>That is one reason why I quit the other day. It didn't help that my boss told me (who by the way is nothing but a fat SOB)that no one liked working with me because I was bossy. Well, HELLO, I'm the only one actually doing my job, and if they don't like they can kiss my ass. Anyway, I just thought I would share. <BR/><BR/>Love your journal by the way. It's so damn funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
