I take over a new store Saturday. I was at this store for 4 years, with the company 6 years. Worked for my own store, gave it my all. Previous DMs loved me.
Enter Roger. Roger likes to lead with intimidation and an “iron fist.” Multiple coworkers quit because of him. I try to stay out of his way and do my job. One day, I call him out for making a comment about forbidding us from discussing wages, and thus I become enemy number one.
He decides he’ll do anything to make me quit. Starts picking at me for stupid shit. I guess someone called corporate on him because he takes back his email about discussing wages and let’s us know it’s our right. But still treats me like crap.
One day he decides to scream at me and tell me I should have quit a long time ago.
So I had enough. I emailed his boss to try and get this resolved. Two days later, I’m transferred out of his district. Don’t solve the issue, don’t even address it. Just move me. His boss didn’t even reach out to get my side.
I take it because I want away from this asshole, and I’m defeated. But my heart is broken. So here I am to vent.
Fuck you roger.
