At my store there are three (3) managers. Just three.
Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager, Me (Sales Manager- basically the same as ASM just a different title).
Saturday is the ASM's last day.
That leaves two managers- Store Manager and me.
Store Manager dropped the bomb today that she quits as of Tuesday.
That leaves... me. *whimpers*
The DL assures me she has a plan in place so I won't bear the whole burden of the store alone. I'm holding my breath... see?... I'm turning blue...
We do not know who our new SM will be (or if there is one) but I have already informed the CSR's that even if we get a monkey's ass who doesn't follow policy I am still going to expect things to be done RIGHT. Just like we've always done them- not that I doubt that they will just, you know, it's easy to slide when your SM doesn't do things right. Yes, I'm fretting and worrying.
One of my CSR's, bless him, said, "Ah, no. Once *SM's name* is gone you're the boss. There don't need to be any new SM roll up in here and think he's gonna override you." Now he's decided my nickname is going to be, "THE Boss" from now on.
Still, I'm absolutely DREADING next week. No matter how it goes I can already feel the migraine to come. The back of my head is already starting to twinge.
