pumpkin pie is the manager transferring the same one you butt heads with? no i would honestly cry if the manager i butt heads with was leaving though bc even though we fight every conversation we have, i actually like him and he /gets/ me. he's my age too which makes it a lot easier to relate to him and he actually /cares/ I've never had a manager like him but this manager, i don't want leaving either. he is the reason I'm even at this store and if he is leaving? why am i still here? like i feel like its my time to leave honestly. like they made a deal that as long as he was at this store, i couldn't get transferred and now he is leaving....i don't care what happens to the store. i only wanted to do good /for him/. ya know? he's been the store manager here for 8 years. that doesn't happen. no one ever stays store manager of anywhere for that long so it was bound to happen. but. things are going to be mad different. I'm not happy about it. plus there is a lot of stuff that he just /does/ for me that technically I'm supposed to do and I'm pretty sure that the new manager will not be doing those things.

I'm sorry to hear that. When new management takes over, it's always stressful and unpleasant - I went through that about 4 years ago at my work, and my husband is going through it now. In fact, he just text me that he was going to be late getting home because something that happened tonight really set him off, so he's going to another store and talking about getting transferred (he knows and likes the manager at this other store). I hope it works out for you though, and if it's your time to go, maybe that's not a bad thing. I'm glad the manager that you butt heads with respects you though, which seems to be rarer and rarer in the working world now-a-days.

that's the thing. like idk i will probs stay for the time being but i just feel more free to leave, which is a good thing. just don't know where to go. i don't want to stay in the least but.
oh ya, he really is great. i mean, we kinda depend on each other for a lot and he literally comes to me for everything. he said I'm his secretary. which I'm not and it was a joke but its funny bc its kinda true. its really our personalities that are clashing. my uncle trained him though and he loves my uncle so like he treats me less like an employee but more as an equal if that makes sense idk its a weird relationship we got going on I've been really lucky with management so far such that all my managers treat me really well. we get new assistant managers all the time, which hasn't really bothered me much- they never last long anyway. but the ones we have now, i really don't want leaving. new management is rough though. i mean when i got my new department manager years ago, i really disliked him and i was like there is no way i am coming back here if he is still there. he is still here though and i came back but i actually really like him now lol. he's one of my go - to's.
that stinks :/ hopefully if he transfers things go well! its not easy working under someone that you dislike or who doesn't treat you well. i mean...you spend more time at work than anywhere else so

He ended up going and speaking to both the store manager and the 3rd shift manager. Within an hour they sent him a text asking him and his friend that both want to transfer to come in and sign the papers for the transfer tomorrow morning. The step after that will be the hardest, because it involves their current store signing off on them leaving, which they don't want to do because my husband and his friend are 2 of their strongest people (the friend especially, he could pretty much do anything he wanted and get away with it because he's such a good worker otherwise). My husband is mad enough to pretty much declare war on his current store - they have basically overlooked a few rules, and he's ready to blow the whistle on them if they don't let him go.
My job on the other hand has all the managers and higher-ups having a 3 day conference at my hotel, and the VP managed to offend an entire race of employees at my hotel with a cake yesterday.

BUT YES!! We're not going until March, so I still have a while to wait, but I am just really excited.

I'm not doing my math schoolwork and half of me is happy and the other is guilty. why aren't you doing it? Mostly because I didn't want to. It was late and I was tired. Now it's the next day and I don't really have an excuse.

My husband's transfer went through in record time - he starts at the new store Oct 31. Apparently he and his friend had also been flagged by a 3rd store that was trying to get them to transfer (like I said, they've got a very positive reputation). This store just made sure to swoop in first to get them by cutting through all kinds of red tape. As for me... I hate car shopping. So much. I think I have it narrowed down to 2 cars, which are as follows: www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/751000065/overview/www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/790456440/overview/The teal one is smaller like I'm used to, and newer, but has next to no trunk space and I would have to go to NC to get it (my mom lives a few hours away, so it's not too a big deal to go out there). The purple one has the space, but is wider, which I don't like, and apparently was in an accident before, but has been cleared by Carfax and would deliver to my front door. My mom is going to compare and research and get back to me tonight on which in her opinion is better, since I have to go to bed now, but I figured I'd ask you guys which you like more. I'm honestly pretty evenly split on the 2.
