The Last Straw

I've been giving my assistant manager alot of slack lately. He needs knee surgery, so he's in a ton of pain. His girlfriend, who also happens to work at my store (I could've told you that would end badly) dumped him, and he's just not getting over it. So he's been pretty damn grumpy lately, and he hasn't really been doing his job. Whatever. I'm nice, I try to give him some credit.

However, today was it. No more. He went too far this time.

He scheduled me to work 7-1 today. Normally I work 10-2 or 4, depending on whether I have class. Coming in at 7 means the mall is opening early.

I get to work, and E's there cleaning the horrible mess from the night before. I start helping her, and we start wondering when the manager is going to show up. Finally, we call her. She asks what we're doing there so early. We call mall security, and guess what? That's right, normal hours are currently in operation! So we look at the schedule. The mall hours are correct on it, but our hours are early. For the entire week. Idiot. He caught and fixed the mistake for Thursday, but not for the rest of the week.

Needless to say, I'm pissed. Who likes getting up before the sun when they don't have to?

I've done this kid so many favors over the past two months, you wouldn't believe. I felt bad for him. But this isn't his first screw up, and if I did my job the way he's doing his, I'd be long gone. Him being nasty to practically everyone for no reason isn't helping his case.

There's talk of need of a new A.M. by the end of the month.
