Sad Little King

Okay I realize I havent posted anything in a long ass time. Mostly because I haven't stayed pissed off long enough to get onto the computer and actually spend time writing about it. Today, however, I feel the need to write because of how ass backwards the thinking of this particular person is.

This one is about the store manager where I work. He came out of his little throne room and took my supervisor aside for about 10 minutes to tell her we are all far too slow for his liking, and also to cut hours from her department. So he said that for today we needed to have the order completed in an hour and a half. Which is bullshit. My supervisor can't really do any serious work on the order due to back injury, and I am only one person. The order is usually around 100 boxes, not including the chickens I usually end up fetching for the hot food department. The solution posed was that as of next week I will be on counter duty and Wayne will be putting the order away. This makes no god damn sense whatsoever. Wayne is only a few years away from retirement and isn't in the best of shape to be hauling heavy ass boxes around all day. So that is going to go slower than ever with the new "time saving plan". It's genius isn't it? Put the slower person on order alone in order to get it done faster! Makes sense to me.... you fucking dolt. Part 2 of this was to cut hours in the deli. So not only am I not doing the order, but I am only working 2 days next week instead of 4. So there will be less people to serve customers, but they have to serve them faster than 4 people ever did. Perfect reasoning wouldn't you say?

I think the real issue here is that this man is on a massive power trip. I think he realized that most of the departments in his store don't really need him, and the higher-ups are around a lot these days. Which means he was cut out of the loop, the poor bastard. Which means he felt the need to assert his authority once more. So he came up with the most ass backwards plan that is sure to fail, just so he can come along and off a solution to fix it, which will no doubt just being to put it back the way it was. This man is clearly a sad little king, ruling over a sad little hill. Not nearly as important as he thinks he is, but with just enough power to make everyone else miserable. How about we schedule this man for an emergency cranial-rectal extraction ASAP. Maybe that will take care of him.
