Why Me? Here is a safe space to let it all out, where you can rant about all the bad things life throws your way. Sometimes it just helps to ask "why me?"
I FINALLY got it all sorted out, so OF COURSE you would CHANGE yours! I'm asking nicely for you to put mine back. Then I ask not so nicely, then I just call off. And, even if you say that wasn't "official" you don't have to know that I gave them the original one to believe they got theirs done first since yours was late. It just looks like you switched us, and you have plenty of options to change it back.
So, I'm either switching 2 shifts with somebody, or I'm giving it up. Because I'd rather be there, and I'm not torturing myself because you're an asshole; no matter how good the money is.
I want that to mean something it doesn't. I have to keep myself from getting excited over something that doesn't exist. And I feel bad bugging you with it, but you keep responding.

It's almost guaranteed that you'll change your mind, or you lied to me, or you meant something else. You really shouldn't say things in writing if I can figure out within seconds of looking at the schedule that they're not going to happen that way. Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll go in too. Or maybe at least one of them won't be there, and that's why I can go in. But, luckily I've prepared myself, and I wanted to talk to you about it anyway.

I'd say I'll just be the better person/employee and let things play out until I have her job. But, the last time I said that, it DIDN'T HAPPEN
We're being visited tomorrow. If he's still there when I start (which he'll probably be gone), I'd LOVE to talk to him. Your priorities need adjusting, her management needs work, and the attitude frome these people needs snuffed out.

All the more reason I would love for this to work out. I was told they'd be "rare" but they're 1/2 or 2/3 of my shifts. And, I hesitate to adjust availability unless I know for sure he can cover the slack (and I don't have that right now)
And, in my defense, I got the shift covered, and he agreed to pick it up on what I didn't realize was his day off. The money is good, but I don't want to stay if things don't change; and I'm not sure they will.
And, now my brain is beating me up, and as much as it's not my favorite manager's job to be my therapist, he does a good job; and I probably won't even see him tomorrow

Well, yesterday's shift was a fucking nightmare, maybe tomorrow will be better. But, promotion is seeming less likely by the day. Giving my brain all the more reason to fucking destroy me. And, my best bet for trying to improve things at least a little is to do nothing for now, and hope for an opportunity that may never come.
"You never know." But, I DO know, because it's already happened at least twice, and I was right about doing everything and none of it well enough. So, I do know, it's NOT happening, and I can't afford to be stagnant if there's no chance for advancement! Not to mention, you care more about your own promotion than keeping your ass in your own store, and working the schedule YOU wrote for YOURSELF.

So, yeah, you tell me to be patient, and that I'm doing a great job. But, also that she isn't getting promoted over me when it's blatantly obvious, and that he doesn't have it in his character to screw me over when he's done what he wants from day 1, and given me constant excuses. But, what else are you supposed to say? It's not like you can admit anything else to my face
If only, but I know, because he told me, that it was accidentally posted for the wrong location. Unless, she's leaving too, but I think she decided to stay.

Next performance review will be very interesting. And where the fuck is the schedule, while we're at it?!
And that's called karma, bitch, and it's coming for all 3 of you. I'm sick to death of having to put up with your shit that wouldn't be accepted from anyone else, while you have LEADERSHIP positions.

And, you're still barely going to be in your own store. You can brag about your abilities all day long, but if you aren't around to use them, what good does that do me?

I'm not really sure why you've stopped going in on Thursday but you do realize I'm depending on you, someone who is an expert in this field, to guide me on this project? You are such a bad mentor, you've done absolutely nothing other than "offer" criticism for the past seven and half months.
