Busy Work Week

Busy week at Work
So it has been a long and busy week at work, even frustrating and
disappointing at time. On one hand it's good it is long as that's
less time to sit at home and wish my husband was home with me. But on
the other hand I AM TIRED!
Monday morning I wasn't scheduled til 11 or 12, but I went in at 8am
to finish up my employee evaluations and get caught up on all my paper
work. I get there and it's a complete zoo. I ask the manager on
duty, Jas who called in. She says, No one, but Sheila never showed
up. Sheila is another manager. I called all four numbers I had for
her with no answer, so then I tried another of my managers- my best
friend- as that is Sheila's sister in law. NO luck, so I tried her
brother and my best friend's husband. He was at a job interview.
Well we survived lunch, BARELY! She calls that afternoon (like 5pm)
boohooing to me about how she called in the night before- BS!! And
saying I never called her even—LIE! Of course you could hear her
husband in the back ground coaching her and telling her what to say!
But Gary said I should giver her one more chance and do a one on one
"meet Jesus" meeting as he called it. I suck at those! So for an
hour plus that night I work on thinking of what to say, type it up and
prepare…. Oh yea not to mention my car broke down on the way home
Monday so Joe reluctantly allowed me to borrow his!
Tuesday I go in at 5am, same as her. We work til 9, I send her to the
bank. After she gets back from the bank we have the sit down and talk
and discuss. I even said I was failing her for not getting on her
when she wasn't staying on track, offered her a transfer to which she
replied she had wanted one, but doesn't anymore. She apologized, said
she still wanted her job and we agreed to start over. Tuesday night
9pm, the phone rings it is Sheila. She needs to deal with something
regarding her vehicle by 12 the next day so I agree to work her shift:
5-2 and she could work mine 12-7. Well 12 came and went…. She didn't
even respect me enough to call and quit, no warning nothing! She only
thought of herself, no care that maybe I had plans, maybe I needed to
arrange child care, Nothing. She definantly managed to prove me wrong
that she wasn't cut out for this job and that not only did she not
respect me as a coworker and manager but she didn't care about me as a
friend or on a more personal level.
I did write her an email regarding the money she owed Marko and I.
When she came to get her check Thursday she replied to my email. I
was very straight forward and professional in my email to her, yet I
love how when people are in the wrong they will always twist things
around to make you look like YOU are the mean one or YOU are in the
wrong- GRRR! In her letter she writes "In the first place I never
meant for this to get personal between us" How couldn't it, 1. You
owe BK money, you owe ME money, and you don't even have the courtesy
to call and quit? She still wanted to be friends which being the easy
going person I am tugs on my heart yet I am still a week later still
furious that I was taken advantage of AGAIN! Didn't this just happen
a few months ago, by another manager I thought was my friend. It
makes me so unimaginably, indescribably mad! Not to mention she STILL
owes BK $100 so my odds of accomplishing my "cash shortage" goal are
on the edge of failure unless I payback her money for her- NOT
happening! So I worked at LEAST 5-5 everyday that week, some days as
late as 7. And night shift really needed me but because she did
things the way she did, she hurt the whole management team, the whole
store, all the crew. I prob lost 2 good workers though all this short
handedness, they just didn't return, and I thought they were quality
workers
