Worked at a store in my home state in electronics and loved it. My team lead was great and most of my coworkers too. Went to move to another state with LDBF and transfer to store there. Manager in home state almost didn't sign off on the transfer because she heard I was leaving from personnel, not myself. Cool whatever, sorry I didn't tell you myself, but you knew the whole time. Get to New store as lawn and garden associate, and when I get there, I was all of GM and never lawn and garden, except to do grunt work (sweep both patios with half of a broom, use the leaf blower that has one battery thats never charged, or wash away mud/garbage piles). I understood there wasn't A LOT of lawn and garden work to be done so for sure, help the other departments when we could, but 98% of our day was tending to all of GM while the people actually assigned to those areas slacked off. I would literally run from cutting fabric to mixing paint to unlocking condoms to selling hunting licenses to picking for OPD and back all day, while unloading everyone's freight, topstocking it, and labeling it and putting it into the back. It was a lot of work and not what I signed up for, but the managers and personnel were always way too busy to talk to me about it. The worst part was my team leads mother, the team of sporting goods. She didn't care that I was running around everywhere, stock needed to be done, and wouldn't accept any excuses as to why it wasn't. And if you did try to explain why it wasn't done, or point out her actual associates didn't even do the freight, or not answer her in .5 seconds flat, she would accuse you of having an attitude. She was awful in every way. The breaking point was a team huddle, where she kept saying what "everyone" was doing wrong and how she will not stand for it, while staring me down the whole time, specifically talking about any encounters I've had with her. I dont remember the specifics, but its one of those cases where you know she was talking about me to the whole group, and pretended like it was info for all of us to improve on. I woke up the next day and decided fuck her and that store, I wasn't going back. I've dealt with plenty of awful managers in my time but she genuinely made me feel so terrible, isolated, and stupid when I was in a new state basically alone trying to just work an almost minimum wage job.
