Hello all !
This gonna be one long story and I hope it belongs on this platform.
I have this terrible assistant grocery store manager. I was a department manager a few years back and I did inventory one day.
My own dept assistant decided to mark something down while getting the store managers (well call him Steve) approval to do so.
This led to a crazy number that I didn’t catch once I finalized the inventory . The assistant store manager gave the green light to submit the inventory ( we’ll call him Evan)
Come to find out the inventory was wayyyyy off because of this mark down . Long story short I got in trouble for this mishap.
But in evans eyes he was the one who got in trouble from the district manager and the store manager Steve .
I step down , I become a floating helper in the district . Evan now works in a different store as well at this point. I travel to evans store where he is still the assistant store manager.
He comes by with his usually stupid smirk and hands in his pockets with a manager in training.
Calls me out (I’m just a floating person helping a dept out)
“Why doesn’t this have a date on these things here. I thought you knew everything , I thought you were so smart Yada yada “
“I remember what happened in the other store , I have a memory like an elephant .”
Totally out of the blue !? I’m just like huh ?
I tell one of the assistant store managers in another store, who I thought would just tell me not to worry bout it . We’ll he goes and tells Steve . Steve calls me at the store and says you have to report Evan . Tell evans boss exactly what happened . I say no no I don’t want any trouble . Besides I’m just helping here and I won’t be around or see Evan that often .
Whatever
Another year goes by , I’m back in my home store full time but not as a manager anymore . Now this evan guy gets promoted to store manager in the same store as me again !
Also smirking , always wise cracks, always trying to push my buttons.
One liner stiffs.
I think he’s a jerk to most people honestly , but he really likes to go after me . And I think it’s because he thinks me and the other former store manager(Steve) before him were “buddies”.
“Your buddy , your buddy this , your buddy that“
Now I switch departments (in same store still) and left the current one screwed cuz I was sick of carrying them and getting dicked around being still treated as if I was the manager in the dept I used to run.
So now I moving to new dept in and go to talk to my new dept manager about some time I had already request off coming up.
Evan is in the room and I didn’t think was a big deal to inform my new manager before he makes a schedule that I already had time off requested.
“Already requesting time off huh “
Like what did I do to this person ? I have no idea? Why is this person always saying stupid condescending shit?
What would u guys do ?
