Just blowing off steam
11 years ago
So after nearly a year with a new owner....Life has gotten much harder
I feel nothing will ever been good enough for him and hes looking for reasons to get rid of me
After Aug it'll be his year and the contract with the last owners will be over with him having to keep me. I feel he is going to use this to let me go. I am not 100% but just feel that no matter what I do, how many hours I work, how good our sales are and what I do for this man, he will terminate me.
These last 6 months have been more stressful than ever. I do what he wants to the T and then he comes back and wants to do it differently and yells at me and the staff for doing it the way he wanted first. Like we can read his mind.
Several occasions hes double backed what he said and what he wanted. For example, our ice cream has white rims that we put on them to make them look more appealing as well as helps the tubs not slide around in our dipping freezer. He wants us to remove them nightly and wash them. Cool whatever. I asked him (in an email) saying if we had time after washing them, around closing time or after close can we put them back on so in the morning I don't have to struggle to get them on in time to open. He goes sure. THAT VERY SAME DAY I closed with a coworker of mine said since were slow lets put them back on (its around 9:12 we close at 9:15) finish our closing duties and leave for the night. I get an email no less than 20mins after we leave saying why are the white pieces still on there. Did you take them off? I see you closed whats up with this? Like really? You spy on us with your cameras all day and didn't see me take them off at 8:30pm and me and laura putting them back on at 9:12??? Its been a constant like this and its been full of negative words from him. Nothing is good enough. Our sales this month are up 10% from last year, our cake sales are up nearly 5% from last year and the store has been doing everything he asks us to do. Each new visit is something more to add to the list of were not doing something right and its just draining. I make good money here and I know I work like a dog. I use to Love my job. I didn't mind working 55 hours, having no holidays and having minor ups n downs.....But now, now I dread waking up, I dread coming to work, I dread this feeling! I miss wanting to work. I miss my happy staff who comes in with no smiles and hatred for me or the owner. They hate me cause I have been forced to cut hours or hate me cause Thayne is always on my case so I make it known to them to pick up their slack. Just there is no more happiness at my cookie store. I miss it. I miss Tim and Nicole with all my heart. I work for a paster now who doesn't trust anyone and makes everyones life hell....=( I just don't know what to do but put a fake smile on and bend over and take it till Aug comes up and see if I have a job after my vacation to RMFC2014.
Okay well who ever read this thank you if not just blowing off steam cause I just needed to vent.....Just need to clear my head.
Thank you. Also, commissions for badges and what not are open to help pay for my new suit =) Feel free to hit me up lol

I have a few commissions I have to get done this weekend so hopefully that will keep my mind off work as much as it can.
I'm sure they will! I'm busy working on my quad an that's definetly keeping my mind off things!
I wish you didn't have to put up with that bullcrap especially since you really do love your job and it's because of him he's making it hell for everyone. I hope he gets what's coming to him ten fold.
You're a real trooper hun and I wish you the very best. *hugs tight*
