Currently work at Nordstrom Rack as an inventory assistant manager (21F). I’ve been here for 8 months, but I’m finally leaving this week. My boss, 30F, reminded me of a pharmacist I used to work for – pretentious, arrogant, gives zero fucks about anyone but themselves. I never got along with her, and this boss currently reminded me of her from the get-go. I got the vibe that I didn’t like her whatsoever, but I gave her a chance, and tried to see if maybe, just maybe, she was different. I was wrong. The thing that confirmed it for me was when everyone in the back of house were talking, and she had mentioned that she was a bully until 12 years old. That’s what I KNEW she had not outgrown it. This woman had made comments about my hair, my weight/youth compared to her, pinpoints me for mistakes that I had not made specifically, and makes me fix other people’s work that I had not done, then lectures me on the “proper way to do things”. She even made it my fault when a coworker of mine had a small meltdown and disrespected me by not doing his job, ignoring me when I asked him to talk in the HR room, and the asking him that he leave for the night (I asked another manager that night if I can do that, and she said it was fine if he doesn’t talk with me in HR). Two days pass and my boss pulls me into her office and told me that “if I asked how he was feeling, if there’s anything going on at home” that the whole thing could have been avoided. There were also threats and acts of rage that occurred as he left the building, but that’s irrelevant right now.
And as of now, we have minimal staff, and including me leaving, 7 people have left this job entirely in the past month. 4 more people have told me they are considering it in the next month. My boss and manager have guilt tripped 3 people, including me, into staying here, which we aren’t going to. They know they’re fucked when 90-95% of their staff is leaving in 1-2 months. I love it. Fuck y’all two.
