Journal History

I just want to get this off my chest and I know no one reads these so here seemed like the best place.  

So here's the background story, I just made pet care manager at petsmart.  My manager is a bit of a bitch, always has been, but she stepped down from management in order to change careers to an EMT career she's always wanted.  She told me all along that she's backing me to be the newest manager.  

I went into the store last night to find out when someone was working and to request a few days off for a trip with my boys.  While talking to two of my coworkers, I found out that I have been two faced by my manager.  That when she found out that I got the management position (which she found out through an e-mail) she was unhappy.  By unhappy I mean saying things like "I can't believe Jessica got the position, she's going to be so power hungry, I'm not going to hold my mouth shut if she tries to tell me what to do, blah blah blah!"  The person who told me this is someone I trust to tell the truth, due to the fact that she's a lot like me and believes in the truth over someone's hurt feelings.  She told me that she argued with her a bit about it because I have been working hard for the position, and that she thinks I wouldn't get power hungry, but actually do something to improve the department.

Here's where the rant starts.  My (soon-to-not-be) manager is acting like a freaking 3 year old throwing temper tantrums.  But I must bring up, she stepped down VOLUNTARILY!  She has no say anymore, it's official, and not listen to me if I tell her what to do??  First off, I wouldn't boss her around, I would do the same I have been doing, giving tasks and not bugging people as long as they're getting done, but say I did ask her to do something, guess what missy, YOU'RE NOT A MANAGER ANYMORE!!  Give it up, I won.  I thought with your help, but finding out that you're trash talking me behind my back, grow up!  You're only sabotaging yourself at this place.  Someone needs to tell here that she's destroying herself.  And that I'm the only person at this point at that store not trying to get her fired or getting her to leave.  Yet I'm apparently the one she has it out for.  

Luckily my store managers both told me they're taking her out of pet care as to not even have the conflict.  I've been nothing but cooperative with her.  All the times she has yelled at me and made it my personal fault that her job wasn't being done right.  The times she sent me home in tears because I didn't do something 'right' when in fact it was her job, not mine to do it in the first place. All I know is having her gone, and i mean gone gone, would be a heck of a lot less headache for everyone, especially me.

You all pray to the deaf man and follow the blind, searching for something that you'll never find.

To create interesting light, you have to create interesting shadows.
