It’s All For the Better

Last night before I came to work, I had Joshua drop me off at Petco. I went there with the intention of getting a Furminator, seeing that a de-shedding tool had gotten great reviews from Dooce. Joshua and I have been experiencing insane amounts of allergies so I’m hoping by brushing my girls with this it will solve a problem or two. I used it on the cats as soon as I got home and whoa the hair! The only problem I have now is getting them to sit still long enough to let me brush them.
When I came into work, I was informed by a few fellow coworkers that my GM was no longer there. Stunned, I went to find my current supervisor only to be informed that not only will the leadership team be reduced to two people, but also my GM was fired. In all honesty I wasn’t surprised, but I feel really bad for her. Like I’ve said a million times on here, as people they were all great, but in the store they sucked.
I decided now was really the time to quit. I don’t want to have to deal with building another relationship with another GM, especially if she is only temporary. Overall it’s a messy situation, and there’s nothing left for me there. I was staying for the people at one point, but considering everyone I enjoyed working with is either gone or leaving, there’s just no point anymore.
I felt really good about finally throwing the towel in. I felt a little bad though because Assistant Manager opened this morning and had to find my note pinned up by her desk. She called me to leave a message simply asking if I want some hours today. I can’t anyway, but I don’t think I want to go back in. She’s going to try to talk me out of it, possibly give an incentive raise, but it’s not even about the money. It’s the fact they didn’t follow through with something they knew meant a lot to me. They buttered me up for nothing, and I just have to keep reminding myself of that.

I agree, it definitely sounds like it was time for you to leave, and like there was more pushing you away that there was pulling you to keep working there.
Hehe Furminator. I’ve never heard of the, before, they sound…interesting. I know what it’s like to have allergies though, so I hope it helps!
I know what it is like to just want to quit a job. I did that with a previous job of mine. I was constantly being told I may be laid off due to money issues and I got sick of it, so I just left.
Now you have pulled the plug, you can find something better.
I’m glad you’ve left, I know how awful of a time you’ve had there. It sucks when a team of people can’t pull together for common goals.
HUZZAH FOR YOU! :D
