Say something you wish you could say to their face.

[Enigmatic.]

To those that I met in the spring and summer of 2005: I hope you are doing well, wherever you might be today.

[Kate*]

At least you admit you could be wrong, and wouldn't disown your kids. But, for the record, admitting you could be wrong, doesn't mean you're any more right. And no one is trying to take your rights away, they simply want for themselves what you have always had.

If you're there tomorrow (and you said you had to be) you can help me, because I can't do it by myself, and you can also figure out why she "can't" switch me to the thing that makes so much more sense.
The only explanation I can come up with is that I'm slow, which I fucking told you so. And if that's the case, why don't you regret giving me the full-time?

[Kate*]

Just so you know, I'm 100% continuing to do that out of spite. If you don't help me when I ask, you don't deserve to have the favor returned, regardless of your getting promoted over me. And yeah, I should probably be the bigger person and let my character outshine yours, but I'm still human, and passive-aggression once in a while is easier. Especially when you have no idea who did it.

[Kate*]

You need to learn how to read a schedule. You kept us late because you said she was opening, but she's not, it's him.

Even with guaranteed hours, I'm STILL the first to get fucked with. What the actual fuck?!

I can't wait for their vacation so you're forced to do your own job in your own store. Because I am THIS close to telling your boss off. He needs to get his shit together so we can have you back before fucking CHRISTMAS. 6-8 weeks has become 6-8 MONTHS and I've HAD IT

[Kate*]

Enough is enough. It's time to acknowledge your limits, have the conversation you don't want to have, and step up for your own team. That's what a good leader does, and it's what you've done from day 1. Step up for me again, or I will! You want me to show you leadership skills? Nothing says that like a difficult conversation with a boss because you see disaster coming, and standing up for yourself (and maybe others, if not yet)

Everything has said stay, and that I absolutely belong there, but we can't work like this, and we can't afford for this to continue. The store won't survive. You have until Christmas, if it's not fixed by then, I'm done. That's being generous. And it WON'T be because I want to leave.

[Enigmatic.]

Is there really no place better for you to be doing this? It's very disturbing.

[Kate*]

I guess just because you'll be here for at least 2-3 more years, doesn't mean you'll be in the store a lot during that time. I'll soak up as much time as I can with you. Just promise that before you leave, you'll warn me.

[Kate*]

You constantly want us to trust you, but you tell people what they want to hear, and then do what you want. How can you expect anyone to trust that?!

[Enigmatic.]

Come on, I can't be the only one who sees how sketchy and creepy this is.

[Kate*]

On the minute chance that I see you tomorrow, I may as well tell you what I want to. It's not like it'll matter; or get the truth out of you.

[Enigmatic.]

If you say so.

[Kate*]

Rude husband and wife customers to each other in front of me:
"Kind of, I don't know what that means."
"I don't know what it means either."

It means it's hard to do, I've only done it once, and considering you've been a total BITCH from the second you walked up here, I'm NOT going to waste my time figuring it out for you!

[Enigmatic.]

I hope your problem isn't because they're Black. By the way, they're not Black per se. They're mixed race India and Afro-Carib.

[Kate*]

These are 2-person closes, and we're going to be slammed. If you want to bitch about the job I do, then do it yourselves!

[Soda_Voxel]

I am so uncomfortable with this and I can't bear to tell you because I'm too scared but also because just a few days ago I expressed I was fine and excited with it but now I changed my mind and I'm so uncomfortable and genuinely so upset - you're taking my thing and turning it into your own and into something it's not and I feel sick

[Kate*]

We come to an understanding, or I talk to your boss. You may be doing fine, but every single member of your team is struggling. And if your continued response to that is to dismiss us, claim everything is fine, and continue in the same way, that's a problem. It's time to step up for us. Circumstances have changed, my team needs me, plans have changed; period.

Here's the problem with that though: Despite what you may think, you are NOT in charge (mostly due to this behavior!) Therefore, I DON'T HAVE to justify to you what I do or don't get done, under circumstances you know NOTHING about, and REFUSE to deal with YOURSELF.

[Kate*]

I didn't ask you to, but much appreciate the break from her. I think you've finally realized that, despite continuing to work through things, I just can't work under her until she calms the f*** down.

Well, he's gone, you're wrong about everything else you said, and the only one left throwing tantrums after all these changes is you. I don't think the problem is everybody else. And even if this is a stress response, that doesn't give you the right to take it out on me, or anyone else you now outrank. At least I vent up.

[Enigmatic.]

It's frustrating that we haven't been able to meet for the past few weeks. I hope that we're able to have our meeting this week, I'm getting frustrated being here.
