i'm so damn pissed off right now. this is all involving work, which for me is at a grocery store (yes, one of the ready to strike ones) and because of all this talk of strike, things right now are especially tense between the different levels of employees. but i'm going to start my story off with a little background:
let's call this girl "emily." she's a combo, which means she's a checker some days and a box girl other days. i'm a box girl, all the time. apparently, some things about "emily" were written on the bathroom walls in the women's room. as were some things about a guy at work. she told everyone i wrote the things about said guy, which nobody believed because he and i are very close and they all know it. so then she starts telling everyone i wrote these nasty things about her. and this was her story "i asked kim if she did it and she looks at me and goes 'yeah, what are you gonna do about it?'" which upset me because i don't like being accused of something i didn't do. so this guy i mentioned, he countered this everytime he heard it so it's not like anyone really believed her anyway, but it's just upsetting how much mud she was slinging on my name. constantly. so i told my supervisor that it was making me uncomfortable and word got to the district manager that my preformance was suffering because of this, so he told my supervisor to get it fixed. "emily" talked to my supervisor and said that when she'd ask me to do something, i'd just look at her and say "fuck you," and suggested i be fired for it. so the supervisor brought us both into the office and tried to fix everything, and she lied to him. he caught her in the lie so that pretty much showed her true colours and it hasn't been much of a problem since.
here's where it gets really fun, though.
"emily" sells drugs. she's sold them to ex employees and current employees as well. she's come to work hung over more times than i can even count, and i've watched her tell customers about her wild ways and how she hates coming to work hung over, but you know "she's gotta pay the bills one way or another." she'll constantly tell other employees that she'll cover their shift, and then she won't show up. she comes to work late most of the time and when she doesn't come to work, she doesn't call in. when she's on as a box girl, she refuses to clear the lot of shopping carts (leaving the parking lot full of them for the next clerk to clear which is a big no-no.) BUT! she's been spending some alone time (catch my drift?) with the manager and now they're talking about promoting her to supervisor! "emily" who has been there for a total of 6 months and has a horrible work history (when they brought the two of us into the office, that was her 7th time for the same thing in 4 months) they're promoting while there are checkers how have been there for years and never missed a day, yet they won't promote them.
and one of my other supervisors, who used to be our manager's "special lady friend" is now pissed off at these developments and is taking it out on us box girls.
it's like a dang soap opera only worse because i'm living it. it's so frustrating. and it's not like a new job is really easy to find here either, it's just...UGH!
sorry, i know it was long. and kind of pointless. i'm not really sure what i'm looking for in response to this but i just had to rant. i'm so upset over all this stuff.
