Ha! That's mean!

I'm hoping this job is much less stressful, because I'm tired of getting a migraine early in my shift and having to deal with everything.

There are usually a lot more workers at target, so I'm guessing you'll be less stressed.

Replaced! They couldn't get people to show up for their shifts, but then replaced you? The only one that ever showed up when they were supposed to and when all the no-shows didn't? AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

Just wait until you hear what he did to one of the cashiers.

He cleared her schedule, and hired another cashier from another store, and gave the new cashier the hours.

Wait for it...

And didn't tell the other cashier she's off for the rest of the week. The only reason I know is because I heard him talking to the new cashier in hushed tones.

So, I told the other cashier what he was doing and told her to go ahead and come in for her shift, since I was covering for my boss anyways. and then he cut the old cashier's hours by half and gave the hours to the new cashier. The he cut the other cashier's hours as well, and gave them to the other assistant and I.

This dude has problems. He's a wierdo, I don't know what they were thinking hiring him

And they replaced you? Seems like he is the problem, they should have kept you in charge even if you hated it. You ran that place with the knowledge of what the cashiers go through and what the management has to do. This other guy sounds like he is bringing family or favorites in and doesn't give a good crap about the employees that have been busting their butts off there.

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH !!!!!!!

You want to know what sucks?

What reeeeeaaaaally sucks about all of this?

Our sales have jumped so high since he's been here, we're number two in our district.

Shrink (Stolen/damaged items) has gone down, sales are up, and he's pulling the store out of the muck that it was in.

I'm NOT a manager. I don't have the skills necessary to run a store. I'm okay with that. But at least I KNOW my employees, worked with them, and didn't use passive-aggressive techniques to get their attention. When I gave them some leeway, they were more than happy to come back twice as hard for me to make up for their shortcomings.

The cashier he's doing this to has had to attend three funerals in the past month, her mother is sick and not doing good and needs constant care, and she tries her best to be at work when she can. Maybe I'm too sympathetic, but I'd much rather be sympathetic than apathetic.

Damn. Why does the wierd, chooses his favorite boss HAVE to make the business successful?!

But was this upswing really due to him? Because he hasn't been there that long, it could have been an upswing YOU were responsible for and he just walked into. How could the stats show improvement that fast? Maybe he is just really good at doctoring the books, because that is way too fast for there to be a noticable change.

Agreed. Either you (Elisabeth) did it, or he's screwing around. No way he turned anything around like that, that fast.

I don't know if there's any way to cook up sales, because our system catches stuff like that pretty quickly. Not to mention he's ALWAYS on camera.

People can manage to get away with stuff, despite being caught on camera

They sure can. They can switch records from one store to the other just by changing the store number on the documents, etc. I don't trust him, his success is too fast to be real.

I already don't think highly of him, but I'm not too quick to think he's doing anything like that. even though a past manager tried that crap and got caught.

This dude could be skilled though. He might have experience in this while the other manager didn't...

-sigh-

I just don't like thinking that way about someone. Not even people I dislike.

Well, if he is he will be caught too, but if he is slick it may take a while. Inventory has to match sales and shrink, and revenue has to match up - sooner or later that kind of padding the books shows up and they usually set up an investigation to find out who is doing it before the actual "catching" goes down. He'll think he is getting away with it a while before they surprise him.

You might be grateful if it takes any time at all, because otherwise he could say he caught you doctoring the books and that was why he replaced you - people like him have no scruples.

I know. He could be innocent, but still. mALX and KC have a point. Doesn't doesn't come that quickly and easy without foul play.

Don't worry about it. Hopefully you'll be moving on to a new job soon

I hope so. I look forward to dropping my keys (If I ever find them again) into that guy's hand and telling him to stick them where the sun don't shine.

Lol. Still haven't found them?!
