Looking another job or perhaps a transfer OUT!
So, we have this fairly new redshirt at work. At first I was excited to have another female close to my age to work with. That was UNTIL her personality really started to show.
First time I closed with her (Me a Gray shirt, her my closing red)- She took the WHOLE positive terminal off and put the battery in backwards when she changed a battery. Being a gray shirt I told her that we don’t have to take the whole terminal off with the battery and that she had put the new battery in backwards. She had a meltdown called the SM in tears and told him I was being mean and speaking hatefully to her. My SM has worked with me for years and has never once heard me speak hatefully to anyone so he didn’t buy into that. She shut down and didn’t do ANY work that night just stayed on her phone and walked outside to smoke.
Two days later when she and I worked together again she asked to speak with me. During this conversation she totally insulted me. Told me I had “Resting Bitch Voice” and even though I didn’t do anything to her, my voice made her not like me, and that she would rather eat glass than ask me for anything. Being a Gray shirt I HAD to keep a professional demeanor I held back SO many things I wanted to say. My SM upon hearing about this said nothing to her, did NOTHING to her but got onto me.
Second time I worked with her SM wasn’t there. She harassed me the entire shift. Interrupting me and speaking loudly to the customers about NOTHING right in the middle of me cashing them out. She would come up behind me and sing at the top of her lungs while I was auditing drawers, She shook the counter when I was doing a return while loudly exclaiming to the customer that she was indeed drinking that night. I looked at her and said “Please stop shaking the counter” she looked at me, got all huffy, puffy and retorted in a loud hood rat tone “What did you say to me?!” I replied and once again said “I said stop shaking the counter please” all shift long I kept taking the high road.
(Mind you she is a red shirt and I am a PSM)
Another PSM who had been watching this go on all day heard her on the phone to her girl saying “That blonde bitch ain’t seen my full petty yet, but she will soon” well that PSM called the SM and told him “PSM is not the problem our new red shirt is the problem” and filled him in on the Bullshit that she had done and said to me all day.
Two days after that I close with her. SM is there he takes us in the back and wants us to hash it out. She rolled out with the “offended by everything, ashamed of nothing attitude” acting innocent. I explained to her that her behavior is harassing and borders on bullying. She just pulled one of those loud fake laughs and said that since she was a little woman and black there is no way she could be a bully. SM STILL crawled up my ass. This throughly pissed me off. Later my SM told me he got onto me, even though I did nothing wrong because, it was fair that since he got onto her he had to get onto me too. That night at closing she again did no work and stayed in commercial sitting on her ass and eating, left me up front all alone. I told my SM (no big about me doing the store by myself I can handle it, but again NOTHING was said to her) She still harasses me, SM does nothing. She has insulted the military in front of me, (I’m a Vet, Family is full of Vets (mother, father, bio sister and she knows I have a child in the military) insulted Southerners in front of me calling us slow, dimwitted and inferior. (She’s from up north and relocated here to the South). She has also tried to say I am racist as well (I’m white but She does not know my son is half Vietnamese and my adopted Sister is blacker than she is) I have always kept myself professional and not once did I engage in her behavior. But she cries victim and I get my ass chewed out. Now I’m a PSM that is trained across the board in the store. I can handle, DIY, commercial, have a valid MVR, paperwork is always on point, PCI’s are always done and store stock always put back up basically everything. My Former SM caught wind of what I was going through and asked how I felt. I told him that as a PSM I felt my SM did not have my back and after hearing the whole story offered me a position in his store. He told me that my current SM should have stopped her behavior from the start, and that he would be proud to have me in his store and he would have my back. So Zoner to Zoners do you think I should tell AZ to kiss my ass or accept my former SM’s offer and ask for the transfer?
