Today officially marks the beginning of the end for me as a manager. I have decided to step down and take up a role in Night Shift. And honestly it's for the better that I do step down.
I wasn't a bad manager and in fact I was actually doing pretty good with actual managing part. But I end up having a lot of problems. Mostly because I was never officially trained by my trainer. First week, she was on vacation, second week fell to pieces when the bedbugs from our ex-neighbors spread to our apartment, and third week would have been our vacation to Michigan that we were planning for 8 months, but was spent dealing with bedbugs. From there everything just went downhill. We also nearly either lost our apartment or our dog when our landlord found out we have a dog. Interestingly enough, the stress from this entire situation caused me to be re-diagnosed with depression and now my dog is a "Medical pet." So there's that.
The lack of training caused countless problems for me and the unwillingness of the rest of management team to help took a bigger toll on me. Which ended up causing me to get 2 couchings, because my lack of experience and training cost the store a lot of money. Coupled with the lack of rest and medical problems I was starting to have, it became evident that I can't handle this job. So I've decided to step down to a spot I know I can handle.
The good news, I should be more active on the Temp again.
