I have taken a seasonal retail job for extra Christmas cash, so I worked on Black Friday.  Fortunately, I had to work at my regular job, so I only worked 4pm-10pm at the store.  By the time I arrived, all the excitement had passed, all the teeth and eyeballs had been swept up, and the hardcore shoppers had all gone home.  It was much like any other day.   :D

going through it right now.  Also the new manager i had for the last 4-5 months was let go yesterday.  I got the call and was told that the new manager will be in today.  He's been with the company about 5 months.  I was thanked for looking after and running the store and that there will be some training opportunities next year.   ::)

wait wait. They let a manager go this time of year. Either loss prevention issue or not making numbers or something. That's a slap in the face for not being promoted. Are you in a big volume store?

it was a performance issue.  my store is the 2nd highest mall volume store in the district. I've been with the company 1.5 years and lead the southeast in sales and big ticket sales (tempurpedic beds and also massage chairs).  I was /am pissed.  My DM asked if I was ok with the new guiy  being my boss.  After a long pause, i told her i was very dissapointed.  i'm looking for a new job

GOOD for you for telling the DM. I don't blame ya, and guess who will be training the new manager...I'm sure you know this already. Fucking MOST dm's have their head up their ass and they get their weekends off (oh big whoop) they leave a few voicemails on saturday and sunday to cheer the team on, I usually deleted it after a few seconds and usually called them twats (no not directly to them but hearing their voicemails)LOL. Don't miss being a store manager for shit.

the only good thing is that the new guy was trained by the guy that trained me, but it was still a slap in the face.

my DM is supposed to be back in this week.  I like the new guy, met him a few times before etc.  The thing that got me was the commnet, "how do you feel about him as your new manager?" and the "There will be traiing opportunites in the next year and you are an essential part of our business." 

I need to spit on something

Sorry to hear that Migs.  Was anyone aware that was the track you want to be on?  Had/have you made it clear to your boss that was a path you wanted?
