TET: Strangely entrancing near the trees

[Stagnant Axon Terminal]

He is leaving choosing managers up to the GM.
When the GM did not mention me, the owner was like "okay wait but Alix can literally do everything in the store with scary accuracy."
And the GM said "But she's mean."
And the owner said "what the fuck"

It boils down to this: I do his job better than he does. So when I am calling out directions for people to follow, he thinks I am mean. Why? Because I dare take a position of authority while possessing a vagina.

I don't see it. If you do your job like you're supposed to then it boils down to him just putting excuses or just simply not liking you. It may not even be that you're mean but some people just don't like you and won't like you no matter what you do or you come across to him as mean.

In other words, is not always sexism or racism, sometimes is simple competition or faulty perceptions. People think I am intimidating while I really am not, and I am okay with that. Other people think I am a God damn asshole who should go throw himself off of the Grand Canyon and die already and stop being a waste of resources. Nothing I can do.

Let me put it this way. The first person who asked to become manager has gotten complaints from about 6 people for being overbearingly mean, shouting at people for no reason, and arguing over petty things. He cannot take orders, prep, or do anything involving the computer system. All he knows is how to make the pizza and cut the pizza. But he is going to be a manager.

It does come across as sexist, but it can also be other things, but yea, not giving her a job because she's a woman would be sexist, but I think there's something else going on here.

I think it's an undermine of his worth as a manager.

I also believe that. He feels threatened by her.

Go to Owner. Point this shit out.

Get your co-workers to back this shit up.

Owner steps in.

boom, no mananger.

[Stagnant Axon Terminal]

I meant her. He doesn't like me, it must automatically be because I'm woman, automatically assuming a man to be chauvinist is sexist.

well, she is our resident feminist.

Hey
would you like
to not insult me for thinking my sex organs don't make me a lesser person
and listen to what I have to say

[Ionian Knights]

Would you like to not assume everything wrong in the world is because of your sex organs?

Owner knows.
Owner disapproves.
Owner is scheming.
I know this man well, he is ruthless and a snake. He hates the GM and he does not want this guy (WHO HAS ONLY BEEN HERE 2.5 WEEKS) to be a manager.
I don't know what he is planning but I can tell you now, whatever it is I don't want to see it.

Your boss is ruthless but he's more concealed than I am.

I have a fierce temper, and if a GM says something like "but she's mean" I'd have put my foot down and told him a few words coming from a business background myself.

Managers should be made managers based on skill, experience, and worker relationships.

Would you like to not assume everything wrong in the world is because of your sex organs?

Sometimes it's your sex organs actually.
But in any case, if that doesn't reek or sexism I'm going to have to think you are blind.
The thing is, for sexists, if a man gives you directions, he's a boss. He's a leader. He's taking initiative.
But if a woman gives directions, she's a bitch. She's rude. She is bossy.
This is the god-awful STENCH this man is putting off. The only other person in the store who can do next to everything in the store except drive is also a female. She hasn't gotten asked to be manager, either.

How the fuck does that even work?!

I'd have berated your GM for being such a moron and I'd have pointed out to him the manager he chose was an idiot.

People may not like it when a boss is mean, but sometimes with shit like this is necessary.

If woman or man gives em direction in their authority, and I'm supposed to follow it, I'll follow it.

you might be taking this just a wee bit too personally though. He may just not like you...

I find my evenings getting more and more difficult to find anyone to talk to.

*eats popcorn*

but why does he have the GM as GM if he hates him?

He thought he would be good, he seems to have the same thought process as my boss and was a GM elsewhere for several years.
But he is now finding out that he doesn't work. He sits in the little make-shift office hour after hour. Then he will come out, get a drink, and say "How's it going guys?" And talk to the boys.
My owner always gives people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes for too long. But if they keep failing, he will crush them.

Exactly, skill being the most important. If you know the ins and outs of my business I don't care if you have been here for 5 days, I will make you a manager if you show me you can step up to the plate.

Eh...

I'd probably make a better GM.

Merit over all imo.

you might be taking this just a wee bit too personally though. He may just not like you...

Thing is, I've spoken to him a total of three times, because he refuses to speak to me. REFUSES. He will walk off or pretend I didn't say anything.
The three times I talked to him:
1. We were discussing his trip to Michigan that he just got back from
2. He was asking me to show someone how to properly answer the phones.
3. We were having one-on-one meetings, where he said, word for word: "I don't know what you can improve on. You go where you're needed. You can slap, you can make, you can load, you can cut, you can take orders, you can clean, and you're one of the fastest drivers. Everything you do is excellent."

but i'm "too mean to be manager."

Sounds like my mother...

she's working on her resume.

I got promoted at my next to last job because of a personality test I took when I was hired. I thought they were going to fire me when they called me into the office.

Depending on the job personality many times is the most important factor

I just cannot for the life of me find any way he could have possibly had the chance to even get to know me enough to think I'm mean. All he does is sit in the office all day.

you'll get it, don't worry. Owner seems to have his head screwed on right.
