Whelp, I can't become a department manager for a year. Despite working my rearend off, working a shift (11-8) that I absolutely despise, and doing anything an assistant or store manager might ask of me, I have been throughly coached.
The first was for absences, though I was under the impression that an assistant was to inform you that you had 3. I'd forgotten that I'd been absent in September.
Secondly, after I'd been in the hospital, my mother was very worried about me. To the point that if she texted me and I did not respond, she'd call, and call, and call. (I'm only 21, and 300 miles away from her.) So, while door greeting one night, I answered her. And talked to the people in the deli, because they were short handed, and I'm trained over there, and I was checking to see if one guy needed to be relieved before his 6 hours was up. Unfortunately, that's when the market manager walked in.
What really upsets me is that the day before the coaching occured, I had a very good interview for department manager of papergoods and chemicals.
It's not like I wasn't doing my job. I greeted customers, I took care of returns. I was just helping out another department that had been badly scheduled.
I've heard before that politics are played in this chain. Now I believe it. The woman who complained about not being called for an interview got Depts. 4 and 13.
Sigh.
Such is life.
Now I'm back on Grocery ICS, and just relaxing until I find a better job.
