No, I was at work for 13 hours lol

Okay, haven't had time to look for 'em, lol

Liz, I know you don't think you were management material, but you were. The issues you had in that position were all caused by the management over you screwing with that place.

Think about it this way. As a manager, would you push out and replace your most reliable employee when she was the only one there you could count on to be there for her own shift and anyone else's that didn't show up?

No employee is completely indispensible, but you were as close as it gets. And then suddenly the store is doing so great in such a short time? That manager probably pushed you out because he knew you'd pick up on a few things he was doing, because you are smart and had been trained just enough to be able to see if something wasn't Kosher in his books.

I think they were idiots to even let you go period, you were the only reason their doors were open too many times.

How did all this come about? I'm madder than a hornet they would treat you this way when they all but forced you to take over for the manager before, ran you ragged before and after - and know you have a child to feed at home.

I don't know. I don't even know. The only one who has, through this whole thing, even treated me like a human being is my District Manager. He would send me emails almost daily telling me I'm doing great, it'll be okay, help is coming soon, and to try to not take on too much stress. I'll definitely miss him, and will be writing him a nice letter thanking him for being the only decent one in the company. Hell, he constantly offers to buy me food, knowing that I can barely afford to feed myself, when he's at the store. "Here, let me buy you lunch, hey, you want a Coke? I'm going to McDonalds, what kind of burger do you like?" He's been around me long enough to know how I function, and that I tend to take on too much at one time, and don't complain to the people who can actually DO something.

Maybe he was in your position once. That's a good thing he's nice to you. You need at least one understanding person with all the stress you're under

I wonder what he thinks about all this. He knows what a good worker you are, knows how reliable you are. I'll bet he won't be happy when he finds out this new guy just dumped you - he could have sent you to another store, you have done nothing to get pushed out the door, Liz. If I were you, I would apply for Unemployment Compensation and make them tell you why you were let go. Bring any reviews that said how good you were doing and tell them that they gave you no reason for being replaced. You'll get paid 3/4 of your income from the last quarter for at least 6 months or until you get a job - paid to sit home with Snuggles. Let the new manager explain that to the company, since they have to pay every bit of the compensation you draw. If they fight it, they have to prove you did something wrong and they can't because you didn't.

I had a company do that to me before, the boss got engaged to a girl that worked there and gave her a management position over all these people that had worked there much longer than her and were much better workers. Well, she showed me her engagement ring and it had a chip diamond in it - a chip! Then she said she was so excited that she dropped it and it rolled into a grate in the floor and they had to get it out, etc.

Well, she overheard me telling one of the other girls that "If he gave me that ring, I'd have dropped it in a grate too, and told him to come back when he was serious."

After that it was on, she wanted rid of me; but I was a good employee, so it was really hard to get rid of me. So she just fired me one day and wouldn't say why. Well, I filed for Unemployment Compensation to tide me over while I looked for a job, and the company had to tell why they let me go - and couldn't, they had no reason. They ended up having to pay me to sit around my house with my children till I got another job.

He has a paper trail, though. He'll give me ten things to do and expect me to accomplish all of it in five hours' time with NO HELP. And when I don't do it, he writes me up.

Like today. I had to damage out six 13 gallon totes of damaged items (scan, log, break them, toss them in the trash) take out the trash (Boxes crammed together over my head and compiled into an area of about..fifteen yards in diameter) Clean the bathrooms, rearrange the shoes, put away the rest of the freight AND clean the parking lots. And I had NO HELP until 3 pm today. And once help came, it was time for us to start making the store look nice.

That didn't even get done, because I was stuck in the bathroom with a headache threatening to turn into a migraine on the verge of vomiting. Everything he gave me to do required me to leave the front, stop attending customers, and I couldn't. I can leave the front. Even if I could, I never got the chance anyways because of how BUSY we were today. Not to mention it rained so we couldn't take the trash out OR clean the parkinglot. I'm sure I'll hear about it tomorrow.

He can't expect you to do all that alone! Youre not wonder woman! He's probably doing it so he has a reason to fire you

I agree with Kobby, he was setting you up. If you are no longer management, then who else was given that list of tasks? If you can prove you were the only one, that looks suspiciously like he was setting you up. And if you are still considered management, why were you alone in the store and given tasks that left customers alone and unwaited on in the store? See, he is slick, Liz. He is slick enough to set you up, set up a back up paper trail for himself. The guy has an agenda, either you would have caught him so he had to get you out, or it must be (A.) a family member or (B.) his secret girlfriend he is moving in and had to get rid of you to do it.

Come on Kobby, let's go get him! I'll get the Viper and pick you up!

You definitely need to try and prove he's doing this on purpose.

-gets in viper-

Lets go get this snake mALX!

But WHAT am I DOING that makes my bosses go CRAZY like this?!

They probably feel you're a threat to their power or something. You don't do anything wrong, you're probably just what thy consider "too smart for your own good"

The store you work at is creepy Liz. It's just....ugh. -shudders-

Wish I could get a new job that easily

But good for you, Liz!


Oh, you Americanos and your drug tests

Lol! If I have to stay clean to get a job, so should everyone else XD

I hope my history with drugs doesn't affect me too much....



I REALLY don't wanna work at the gas station....

Bad werewolf



I´d be glad to work anywhere now. I suspect it´ll be easier to find something come fall but I would like to at least get a thumbsup at a place.

Bad werewolf indeed. I hang out with the wrong people when I was younger....

You wanna work anywhere? Hmm....try bar-tending.

Impossible. Only awesomely cute girls or hunky guys can have those jobs. At least according to movies

Nah, I do have my standards. I just wish I had something set up, even if I can´t start yet.

Lol. Now you're being picky


Go into retail then. Or something similar.
