Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

You really irritate me with your flakiness.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

When we eventually have the conversation that lays it all on the table, it's going to be VERY interesting. If you weren't as good a person as you are, I'd say you don't deserve me.

If you value family time that much, and I'm not saying you shouldn't, then you're in the wrong business.

STOP complaining to me about your hours. You are full-time, yours are guaranteed, I was given 4, that wasn't even going to be 4, and was LUCKY to get 5.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

Thank God I have leverage for now, because 90 days in, and you're already trying to screw me over. But, for the record, I ASKED, I didn't TELL you, I made ZERO mention of it, and you'd have nothing to worry about if you just followed the rules in the first place! You don't get to be mad at me for using resources I pay for, to get what I'm entitled to, just because you don't want to give it to me.

I could absolutely see you deciding to switch stores and leave us. And if you do, I leave. I said from the beginning, if you leave, I leave, and I meant it.

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to suck.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I kind of hope you're back in tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'll be happy to see you, or just want to yell at you.

I see what you're doing, the least you could do is respect me enough to admit it to my face.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

Personally, I don't think you're doing well enough that you can afford screwing over some of your most loyal and dependable employees, (or take the risk of being accused of discrimination.) But, what the fuck do I know, I'm just living it. Amazing human, bad manager personified.

But, I can see this coming, so I have my next move in mind. Watch it go to him instead. Then I will give up. If you really cared as much as you claim you did, you'd respect me enough to be honest.
If you're going to screw me, at least be man enough to admit it to my face!

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died and rose from the dead to Give us eternal life. If you believe and confess this. He promised us eternal life in heaven.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

You keep saying, when your youngest graduates, you can leave and go anywhere you want. I mean it when I say that if you leave, I leave. Even if it's years away.

And, I know you're jealous. Now imagine that feeling and having your income cut by 2/3 because it happened, and you'll understand why I'm so mad.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

The fact that I only get my schedule, and not the whole thing makes me suspicious. But, I know you mostly open, and all of my few shifts are mornings now, so I wonder if that's a coincidence. Or, if it'll suddenly flip; which would also make me paranoid that you're screwing me over..

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

Say whatever negative things about it that you want, and they're all true. But, it means that I really trust you. You might be a hypocrite of the highest order, you might screw me over, and I may not believe a word you say without proof. But, I must know on the most basic level that I can completely lose it in front of you, and nothing bad will happen. It's probably exhausting for you, but it's also why I will never leave.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I HATE having to bother you multiple times, especially knowing you're on vacation. But, if you had sent me the schedules like you agreed to do, I wouldn't have to. So, it's kind of your own fault. And, yes, if you have to switch my days because I didn't get his to you soon enough, then that's on me. But, how the hell was I supposed to know you were doing it early this week, or that you were leaving again?! I haven't even been on the damn thing for 2 weeks!

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

What part of "Night owl turned vampire, who got off at 11:30 last night" are you not understanding?! You insist on making me work mornings, despite knowing that he has me work nights. I'm exhausted in every sense of the word, running on no sleep, and things won't slow down until at least New Years. I knew I was taking on too much, and wanted to wait until January to start because of it. But, here we are instead, and it's killing me.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I want to trust your words, but your actions speak louder. "We're both doing what we have to do for right now." "I'm proud of you, I would've done the same thing." This was the best decision under the circumstances, but you're being a hypocrite, and he's fighting for me. And, I'm not convinced yet that I'll settle in there. I have the best of both worlds for right now, which gives me the freedom to fail, and the time you're claiming I'll need.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

You can have great qualities and still screw people over. You knew exactly what you were doing, and I would've had more respect for you if you just admitted it.


I'm 99.99% sure it's never happening now, (because even if that job opened, you'd just give it to her) but if the new one works out, and you did want me back full-time, I wouldn't even consider it unless you matched the pay. You made this bed, you lie in it; and don't expect me to do you any favors. You've burned that bridge about 4 times.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I want to believe what you say, and that you want to keep me, but I feel like you really don't. That the promotion I want, and even full-time will never come. That you already know that, and just don't want to tell me. You got me to trust you and said you'd always be honest and never sugar-coat anything, but now I don't know what the truth is.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

The situation is hard enough, but this makes it so much worse. I guess "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." is true. In an effort to avoid crushing me, because you love people so much, you don't want to hurt them, you said what I wanted to hear, got me to trust you, and then your behavior contradicted your words when policy meant you couldn't deliver.

I want to overlap with you as much as possible. If I'm working one close, it better be your close. And I would love to be ready (and your best option) by the time you have to fire her for calling off too much, but it doesn't sound like that'll happen.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

As sick as it makes me to think about, I think this was the last straw. It's a shame you're probably going to lose who you admit is one of your best employees over bureaucracy and policy, but here we are. The fact that you had the opportunity to prevent the whole thing twice, and didn't is what's really pissing me off. So far, I've been right about everything I suspected would happen. But, you got me to trust you, and now there's nothing you can say. I will never be okay there again, and you're partly to blame.

You knew how valuable I was, and with one decision you blew it. There isn't one single cell in my body that wants to do this, but it's the reality of the situation you put me in.

"If you really want something, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse." You can tell me how much you love me all day long, but you had the opportunity, and you made excuses. And you had the time, and it didn't happen. And now you don't, and it's everyone else's fault. So, why should I bend over backwards to stay?! "You never know what's going to happen." But, I do because we've been at this a year now. I don't want to leave any more than you SAY you want me to. But, the time comes for action, and it's all excuses. You told me to trust you, you had a plan. And I could afford to, so I did. Now I can't, so you're out of time.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I may struggle with criticism, but at least I'm not immature, petty, and passive-aggressive to the point of demoting myself or getting myself fired for being stupid. I assume by now you realize what she's doing, and that you're going to do something about it. Because if not, your boss is always an option. This is someone who didn't have to work their ass off to earn their leadership role, and yet this is what they're doing with it. But, I'm somehow less qualified. Make it make sense!

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I need full-time, or I have to leave; and not because I want to. If I'm not getting them now, I'm sure as hell never getting them, and I can't do this anymore.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

You need to stop contradicting yourself. It's infuriating. "I can't promote someone who can't hit standards." and explaining that if I couldn't meet said standards, you would let me down easy.

Months later: "I'm afraid I'll be able to do everything, but not well enough (read to standard)

Lists people in leadership (most of whom were hired in, not promoted) and the fact that they aren't perfect at these things, "That's not all that leadership is." Would you make up your mind?!

Just because I know why you're like this, doesn't mean it's acceptable. Your expectations are unrealistic, and I'll give up or quit LONG before you get what you want.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

Assuming you had time, which you don't, I would NEED you to understand that my disability is real, and the ways it affects me are valid before anything else. I keep "focusing on" my diagnoses because you don't seem to believe in them, and if you're going to work with me on ANYTHING you'd have to GET that first.

I figured out what happened. You know I would never leave it like that unless I had a reason. And you gave me 3. Your schedule, Your labor policy, and Your chain of command. So, I was right, I busted my ass for my entire shift, and left on time like you require. I'm not responsible for anyone else. But, next time you want to throw tantrums, look at the system you put in place (and the fact that you know I follow shit TO THE LETTER) before you cast blame on me. And regardless, SHE had NO right to tell me about it, period. And the fact that we agree on that, is just more proof that I'm a really good judge of character with a lack of tact. And, I'm not sorry for that either.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

You didn't even almost have to do that, but you did, and I can't thank you enough. But, I know it's not your job, so I'll try not to lose it that badly again. But, if we're really going to do this, it's going to happen A LOT and I'm not sure you'll be willing to deal with it for that long.

Re: Say something you wish you could say to their face.

I would love that, and I know you have a passion for it, but you don't have time; so I'm not even going to ask. At least not until we're fully staffed and out of survival mode.
