I was just mad because I had a few people telling me I was a dick, smart-ass, asshole, ect. Just for telling them no. I thought maybe I was being unreasonable.
I actually quit smoking 6 months ago. No only my close friends and fiancee know I’m a furry because when I call myself a “furry” it’s just a persona for like anime conventions and stuff. Not huge into the community.
That’s the thing. We don’t have a HR that handles that kind of thing. It’s up to the store managers, which is all family. One of the girls called my coworker a asshole for not being gentle enough with a buggy of paint. The consequences, you ask? An apology to me and my coworker. I never recieved one and my coworker never told me if he got one and refuses to talk about it because “she was probably upset so I’m not worried about it.”
Yeah, and I started saying no more often but the other floor guys just have the mindset “I get paid to be here. Noone is gonna tell them anything. I’ll be the only one who hears it so I will just go do it.” 😞
Yeah, but I love my job. Plus with living in such a small town. There’s only a handful of places I could get a job. I’m only in my mid 20s but around here there’s not much. I recently moved here too so I don’t know a whole bunch of people…
I like your advice, and it makes me think I’m on the right track. They used to call a lot more. Even for me specifically, but I got tired of it, and it made them mad, and now they call on occasion for small things like the other day.
Just it’s not my job to do. Even if I’m just walking around looking for things to do either for myself or my crew. I am still working and they just don’t wanna do their jobs. I’m only supposed to do it if they are busy or it’s like a 5 gallon bucket of paint that needs to be brought to the front. The heavy lifting and hard work.
If I didn’t love my job I’d probably find a new one. Just with 75% of the store liking me and 25% not… I think I’m good. 🤔
Everyone is my dept respects me. They do what I say when I say it. They know I’m in charge and I’m not that bad of a manager. I actually have experience from 2 other stores. It’s the girls in other dept that is so used to the other floor guys, current and old, saying YES YES YES!!! However I don’t say yes which makes them mad.
In my store we have “floor guys” that do everything. We are supposed to know the store and help when and where we can. Which is why we get paid more. However just because we CAN doesn’t mean we SHOULD. Even the store managers are tired of it which is why we had a meeting where they got told it’s not our job. Pissed them off.
I’m not gonna be a store manager. Just someone who manages the guys and what they do. Basically make sure they aren’t fucking off 90% of the day.
