Update: My job

Nov 22, 2005 10 Replies

Hi All,



First off I'm still at AC Moore but in a different department.



The woman who I was working with told the managers that I "had no talent, unprofessional, lacked creativity, and wrong for the job." So I was called into the office with an ultimatium "leave AC Moore and come back in January to interview for a teaching position OR stay on but as a merchandiser for the floral department." No brainer.



Which is why I am now the floral department merchandiser.



The woman has since been reprimanded and docked two weeks pay and two days vacation for "falsifying employee records." Which happened when I brought in my greeting cards and scrapbooks for the other employees to see. The General Manager saw them and was surprised to find out the work was mine.



She also went back to her home store in Boston so hopefully I'll never see her jealous face again.



I have since learned to enjoy the floral department ( have a really decent manager) and hopefully come January they will keep to their promise that I can teach classes.

OH Kate "mean people suck." I think I saw that on a t-shirt once and it's so true! I'm glad you were able to keep your foot in the door and you'll show them who is the talented one!

Shees Kate! What an ordeal! Good on you for making the best of a unpleasant situation! Hope everything goes smoothly further on :)

When you said No Brainer, I said, yeah, you quit. Oops, guess I'm still a bit immature. I'm glad you're finding happiness and I hope they will put you where you deserve to be!

Me too, I would have told them to shove it!

HI.

Larry & I are desperately trying to save for a Condo or house so we can move out of my in-laws basement.

I really wanted to quit but I also really want a condo:

oh my! What a rotten thing for that woman to say! It sure sounds like she was jealous of YOU...At least you're still being creative in your job! Good luck to where ever it takes you! :-) Linda C

Glad the "b*&#@y lady is gone and sorry to hear that you had to have that happen. Congrats on the new postion though!

Wow - some people. Well, you know what they say - what goes around comes around. I am glad to hear you won't have to deal with her anymore.

And good for you for sticking with it!!!

I know where you are coming from. I simply lack the maturity and humility to pull something like that off.
