*FUCKING OBSCENITY ALERT*

I know that I had made several posts about getting the Assistant Manager at my place of employment. I had been told that both our covering store manager and our Division Manager both wanted me for the position and were just waiting for the higher ups to approve their request for our store to have an Assistant Manager. There seemed to be no question that as long as they approved it that I would get the position.

I hadn't heard anything about it in about a week and a half so I had every intention of bringing up the topic with my manager again. He was pulling away as i got there. He waved. I waved back. I figured that I'd either call him when I got a slower period on my shift or talk with him tomorrow. Can you just fuckin' imagine the level of shock that registered when I saw that my coworker whom I relieve with "Assistant Manager" added to her nametag?????????????? My jaw dropped so low that I could have felated myself had I felt so inclined.

I started shaking. PIssed?? Fuck yeah! For 15 months I've heard nothing but how great I am. I got that 50 cent/hour unscheduled raise which is pretty huge considering that scheduled raises are usually only 10 cents maximum. They promised me.

And the REEEEAAAAAAAAAAL kicker is that *I* was the one that talked with our previous manager and our new covering store manager to hire her. i kept pushing because I needed at least one person there that I know works as hard as I do.

I was having an anxiety attack. If I'd had any job leads I would have walked out the door. I still wanted to....but knew that I couldn't. I am all about responsibility. Anyone who has talked with me since I got this job would fully understand that. I've pulled doubles because someone else didn't feel like coming in. I traded shifts to shifts I didn't want to work to help coworkers out. I nearly got myself fired sticking up for 3 of my coworkers when we lost our first store manager and I realized that our then District Manager was trying to screw people over so they'd get fired or quit. I've been doing double duty at the store alone trying to take care of not only my work but all of the stuff that the new third shift worker won't bother doing. Because of my sense of responsibility I knew that I can't just walk out.

I am sure that some people won't understand my getting this bent out of shape over a job. But I work my ass off and the way it has played out was very hurtful. I called the manager and right off the bat he asked how pissed I was. I didn't answer. He said that I had every right to be angry with him and hate his guts. I really don't...I just don't know how the fuck this happened.

Yes...it's just a job. But I need more money. Who doesn't? And you know what, in a sick way I am happy for my coworker. I've felt like she was a sister to me since she first worked at the store (she left due to the food manager that used to be here) and that's why I worked hard at getting her hired there. It's my own fault. I must accept responsibility for all of my actions. Fuck.

This entry has been brought to you by 4 bottles of beer in the 10 minutes that it took me to write it. Fuck!

What the hell?

You're always getting the shaft :(

That sucks. I know it's kinda lame to say this, but at least you're taking responsibility. A lot of people will just leave their responsibilities in the hands of others with little care. You got a raise which is always nice, but I hope you get the recognition that you deserve.
