Tuesday was the day I handed in my notice, to be honest i've had my fill of that company and it's broken promises not just to me but to all the staff.
I have seen alot of backstabbing to all its staff from lower end of the scale to the upper management. Is it really a company I want to progress in, no it isn't.
I don't know who many managers are off with stress leave and i've herad alot about staff walking out.
So I handed in my notice and my boss says she doesn't understand what I meant about me not being experienced. I replied with I don't know you said it, I remember you saying it and so does my husband who has reminded me every day since.
My boss has the habit of trying to turn things around onto you so you think it's you that has the problem. She said she thought she has sorted everything out and everyone makes "mistakes"
To be honest I've lost all respect for her then she started pushing me. "Why don't you like me what's your problem with me?"
Let's freeze for a moment, why don't I like her. She as been using me as a human tennis ball since I started there. Lets put Cassie here, now lets move Cassie here. When the back room leader left she hinted and hinted that I might be able to take it. Now I'm not a back room leader but they are using me like one. I'm first point of call for them all, they take instructions from me I plan the day out even the boss asked me for a plan for the week I was away and asked me what the focus should be. Of course they don't want to give me a title because that would be more money, Cassie don't be stupid!
Whenever there has been a problem I have gone to the boss and sometimes she may as well have stamped her feet on the ground and screamed out i'm not listening because she would rather sweep problems under the carpet than sort them out.
I find the way she gives instructions annoying as she doesn't fully understand anyones jobs in the back room.
So lets go back she's looking at me and saying "what's your problem with me"
I say "I don't want to answer that" she says so your not going to tell me I say no she asks over and over and then says "You're very bitter Cassie"
I laugh at her and look at her "Oh I'm bitter am I, is there any wonder?"
I look at her firmly in the face and reply "The problem with you is you don't listen!"
I said I don't want to fall out with her as I am going to work my two week notice she then replies with "are you sure you can work you're notice"
I reply not forgetting to look her in the face "I can be professional"
She then finishes with "Cassie I have total, total respect for you"
To which I look at her with such a stare and say "well the feeling isn't mutual" and walk out the room with my head held high.
Apparently when she walked out the store she was so pissed off. Well good, now she can feel how I have been feeling for the last month.
The reaction I'm getting from my fellow workmates is amazing, no one wants me to go because I'm such a hard worker. I'm going out for lunch with a few of them on Friday and one of the young sales associates is baking me a cake, how sweet.
The other day the Assistant manager backed me in the corner, I had written something for one of the sales associates to do in the evening daily planner.
She asked why I had done that as I'm not a shift leader.
I said the last time I looked at my pay check it said I was a Shift leader.
Then she replied "on duty". She made this comment in front of everybody, i'm in no mood for any of the management there now to be someone so respected which now it seems because I said yes to everything like an idiot. I was being used and there probally wasn't any promotion coming for me they just say that to keep me quite for the next three months.
I've been like a donkey with a carrot in front of my face like a fool I fell for it. The staff that work there know the truth why i'm leaving and i'm making it perfectly clear that the management messed me about. I'm not leaving with my mouth shut, alot of them are shockedwith how I've been treated one of my work mates nearly cried when I told her I got a new job.
I'm glad i'm leaving, and what an experience it's been!
