And back for a return engagement...

So, when it's all said and done, a job is just a job and mine hasn't really been enjoyable for quite some time.

I had put in for a transfer to a different wm (city that I actually do business in!) last year but nothing had come through and I could see me becoming even more old and gray(er) and hating every minute, especially since the lead was transferring to a different dept (like rats deserting a sinking ship) and the new lead knows NOTHING about how to run a deli...

And then, lo and behold, the other wm called and wanted me to transfer. Explained the whole situation, including the coaching, she said that it didn't matter 'cause I'm doing a lateral, not moving up, and yes...

My last day is Oct 10 and my store manager is so not talking to me. If she didn't like me before, she really doesn't like me now.

You see with Gena and me both gone, it leaves Judy as the only deli person who knows anything. And she cut her hrs (age and stress) and told me today that she's not handling the stress and that she will quit if it becomes too bad. Which would leave them with no one who knows all of the jobs. Which I do.

And you know, Gena told them to ask me if I wanted the lead job (I don't! Little pay raise and a lot more stress, plus I would have to get up early! to go to work!) And then they lied (gasp!) when they interviewed the others and said that they had asked everyone in the deli if they wanted the job. And even though I would have turned it down, it would have been nice to be asked.

And it wasn't even as if they fought very hard to get me to stay. Hell, the asst manager over dry grocery tried harder than they did, and she's not the one over the deli!

So, not at all sad to be leaving, well, I will miss some of the people, just not the higher ups. And both of the asst managers that I actually like are also leaving, so...

Hopefully when everything settles down I will feel more like actually working on lj and not just lurking as I have been doing for the past few weeks. But I have a feeling that the whole seasonal-affected-disorder is hitting early. And hard.
