You never know which one she's gonna have. It's great!
Not. :| (long rant ahead)
She got mad at Melissa today because she (Melissa) had called her to ask her something about doing a return (Technically we're not allowed to do them, but there are some cases where we can), and she (my boss) told her it was her day off and to make the decision herself.
So then she calls back 30 minutes later and starts telling Melissa "I'm tired of everyone calling me on my days off, I never get a day off because everyone is always calling me and asking me questions" Ok, as a store manager, you have to be available all the time, whether or not you want to be. And hello about the days off.. me and Melissa tarely get our 2 days off a week because we're stuck working doubles and covering for other people so they can have a day off, but she always makes sure that she's got her 2 days off each week (I won't even begin to talk about her trying to take her vacation over labor day weekend).
And then, last week, there was a managers metting in NYC that she had to go to. So she took Sat & Sun as her 2 days off and then she was at the meeting from Mon-Wed and came back to work Thursday. Ok, as a manager of a store, if you were gone for 5 days, wouldn't you be calling a few times just to see how things were going and make sure everythings ok? Cause yeah.. she never called. Said she was always busy. Yeah. Right.
And the schedules. Oh my god. The woman can't make a schedule to save her life. I realize she doesn't get paid for working over 42hours, so for her to do doubles, shes not going to get paid for them, but dammit man. When I'm doing 3 9am-9:30pm shifts 3 days in a row, I'm gonna get bitchy. I don't care that I'm getting time and a half for anything over 40 hours.. I'm tired, and that's not fair. It comes with the territory of being a manager that your gonna have to work a few doubles here and there if you want to
She's the kind of manager that believes theyre only there to do paperwork. She worked a double yesterday. We got in 37 boxes of shipment the day before. Me & Melissa got through and prices 13 of them the day we got it, even though we were tired as all hell and didn't want to do it. She didn't so much as touch one of those boxes yesterday. So me and Melissa were stuck doing the rest of it today.
And she refuses to hire anyone who's in college because she doesn't want to work around their schedule. Yeah. The University is not even 5 minutes down the road.. and everyone at the college works in the mall. I don't see any of the other managers having a problem hiring them.
And her motto is.. "If you don't like it.. leave. I'll work a double everyday to keep the store open if I have to". Yeah. That's team unity! If one of your employees is having a problem with you, don't you think you should talk about it and see what's wrong? Honestly.
Oh dear.. this is really long, isn't it?? Sorry!!
