It's not your fault - apparently it is my fault - I am a poor performer, which is odd, considering I was a great sales person, have more product knowledge than the rest of the department combined, and I got a pay rise not long ago, which has to be approved by the owner and CEO. I think that they must have been checking my recent sales figures, which would be zero, because I was a purchasing officer, website updater, and general shit kicker, which is what I thought my job as Assistant Manager was. I was assisting my manager, even though I had no job description, and no training, and I was doing what I was told to do.

Fuck'em - maybe I should email them and get a copy of my non-existent job description under the pretense that I am updating my resume...

Oh man, I'm so sorry. What happened?

Hmm, you're not the first on my FL either... Can't help but feel the economic downturn has employers looking for excuses to let people go.

Officially as above and the bullshit excuse that they are cutting middle management first. I don't see why they just couldn't demote me, and kick out one of the sales staff - I have been there just over 4 years - there are only 2 people senior to me in the department and 9 junior to me.

Maybe it's because I don't get invited to their BBQs, and smoke pot with them...

If I could have gone SuperNova, trust me, I would have.

Now I'll just have to rely on petty revenge and bring the fuckers down that way...

My day was okay.
