Today at work the GM will be at our store.. Now that wouldn't be an issue if he wasnt one of the most unfriendly people I have ever met (For lack of better wording without being 'colorful').

This man never has anything nice to say to the management at the store or the staff, even though head office has made it known that our store is the one in the best shape out of any of them across the country, which they are unhappy about might I add. The GM favors a specific store and manager and needless to say that the store he favors is a disaster zone, you can't find anything, nothing is where it belongs not to mention nothing is ever stocked, and neither the staff or management does their jobs, yet he talks down about our store constantly.

The first time I saw the GM he was standing in the office watching me restore and aisle and make space for stock, he looked at D and said in his rude judgy voice "And what is she doing?" as if it wasn't obvious. That same day the GM watched me struggle with something too heavy for me as I had it lifted over my head to put up as top stock while standing on a ladder, he didn't help me, he didn't even ask if I needed help. It is known at work that I have permanent damage to my spine from a car accident with a semi a few years back so a few of the people I work with tend to decide how much they think I can lift when they see what I have pulled from the warehouse.

That was the day I decided the GM was a total prick, D also flipped out on him for it. The GM hated D before that, now the GM is bloody miserable.

So whenever the GM is going to be at the store D warns me, my anxiety sky rockets and I plan my day in advance so that I am busy but I am kept away from the GM because I made D aware that whenever the GM is being.. well, him, and making D miserable I just want to bounce the GM's head off the wall or something.. Don'e get me wrong, I'm not a violent person, it's just how I feel when I see D looking like he is ready to pull his hair out or when I see the GM deliverately going out of his way to make D miserable for no reason.

There is a certain kind of person that I hate, absolutely despise, and the GM is that person. He is a bully and is not suited for the job he has. In fact he should be demoted and sent back to saskatoon to push stock for &10/h again.. Maybe, while still unlikely, a shot to his ego might put him in his place.

Either that or when half the staff from my store including D quit and our reasoning is because the GM, hours, and pay, maybe head office will realize "Hey, he isn't doing a good job if everyone is quitting partly because him." they will also realize that the staff at the store is very loyal to D and the GM messed up big time. Regardless the store will take a major hit because once D leaves a good portion of us are right behind him out that door.

And on a happier note, just as I was about to submit this blog I got a txt from D saying "but if you want to bring your stuff to work we can just go to my house after…. you know what I am talking about"

Why yes, yes I do.. Quite possibly alcohol, Skyrim, and lots of anxiety free fun. D is amazing, he knows I will be dealing with bad anxiety as long as the GM is at the store, and while we are talking about it he randomly throws in that he wants me to go to his house, the only place I can truly relax.

I love you D, never change. <3
