So what are we going to do about
thisits the second time in two weeks youve been dinged
Well first
were not having this conversation on the floor Itll be in private
Excuse me
Were not talking on the
floor Well discuss it in private which
is something you should have extended me since youre the manager an agent of
the company Im not
I earn minimum wage an Im a freaking bargain for the labour I provide No breakshavent missed a scheduled day and
this bitch corporate is riding me with has yet to be explained other than its policyohboy sacrosanct policy Time and again Ive challenged its operationasked for the simple facts evidenceif you will regarding its why were using it an instead Im toldits reiterated its corporate policy as if Ill swallow something unqualified it is a dictate an frankly until it is qualified to me it will remain innocuous without substance a moot point
How is its data usedan dont tell me it doesnt accrue data that wont cut it todays technology exists for the purpose of accruing data
How is its data usedan dont tell me it doesnt accrue data that wont cut it todays technology exists for the purpose of accruing data
You should also understand that I take
nothing out of anyones mouth unless it can be substantiated or corroborated thats the cut of my cloth I question authority Ive asked An still nothing Yeahso lets have this conversation The reason I refuse to enter managementdespite
yours and others offering is that Id have to buy into
corporates mentality which I understand Id be unable to influence or alter
Why would I do that
Why would I do that
they made their way to the office at the rear of the storebehind swinging doors to an odd floor-to-ceiling cubicle
he lead the way
his manager followed
which perhaps addressed his management style lackluster leadership
inside the cubicle his manager
pulled out a metal folding chair for him to sit on beside him Please have a seat
No thank you I think better on my feet
You cant sit and talk to me about
this
I wouldnt be able to sit still An again I think better on my feet You say Ive been dinged twice by secret
shoppers Lets put that euphemism
awaysecret shoppers theyre snitches You can call them secret shoppers if you
prefer I prefer snitches Looking for errors Theres nothing constructive about them Theyre destructive
I think snitches is a strong term
We disagree Understood What does it mean to be dinged And what does it mean to me to be dinged in regards
to and in comparison with my overall performancework ethic
Its policy
And
Its policy
No Explain the policy Why its been instituted Who instituted it The demerit What is it against my ample merit
Youre the managerI have to assume that holding that role you have a working knowledge and understanding of corporate policies
Collusion
Have you colluded with corporate
Have you colluded with corporate
Excuse me
Pretty simple question Have you shared my schedule with corporate and
set me up Ive been snitched twice in two
weeks Strikes me very odd Ive been here two years next month Been snitched twice in the last two
weeks
Did you feed corporate my
schedule
Thats not the question . .
.
. Its a good question
Its not the question the question
is why youre adverse to policy
It probably hasnt been notedthough
it should have been Virtually
all the paperwork corporate has had me sign Ive printed beneath my signature U
D U D is an acronym for under duress I have not willfully signed my name I cant comply with anything that has not been
entirely fleshed out has not been substantiated
To put a fine point on it Ive
asked deliberately and I have yet to be shown
You have been told . .
.
. Being told does not provide for what I asked to see Shall we game out this verification that has
corporates panties in a knot
Game out
Of course
What do you mean game out
Verificationthe scanner Ultimately it will eliminate my job or one part of my job
I dont see what youre getting at
I dont see what youre getting at
You dont
No
he cleared his throat and began We let the customer scan their I D
The scanner verifies
Let the customer scan their
purchases
Let the customer bag their
purchases
Let the customer pay with their
card
The customer leaves the store
Where in that is the cashier necessaryexcept for assuring the customer doesnt cheat that
they scan all their items
Theres my solution to snitches
Thatll be my policy
Im doing all the talking
Lets get some answers
Provide me with what is done with
the collected data Address my question
of collusion Affirm Ive done nothing
illegal I checked their I Ds They werent underage
nothing
his manager might have thought he was blitzing him
he was
unfortunately because his manager
was a manager in name onlywas someone who did what they were told without
question who didnt push back
because corporate was infallible
because he wasnt independent
because he wasnt a freethinker
because lackeys and asskissers
rise like cream
nothing
his manager sat silently across
from where he stood
when he spoke eventually he had
better not say Because
