I started working at Fred Meyer Jewelers this past summer, I really enjoy selling jewelry and working with people. My favorite is when a customer is trying to find an engagement ring and really needs help because he has no idea what he is doing, it is so sweet! But it is really hard to enjoy what you are doing when there is always someone trying to hurt you. The store manager of Fred's has issues! She is in her 50's but acts like she is 3. She lies about everything, even when there is no reason to lie. She likes to make people fight with eachother because that means that they will go to her for help. I am really good friends with one of her past employees who left because of the way she was treated, so Sandi, the manager, always tried to get me to be mad at my friend, Michelle, so that we didn't talk anymore. But it never worked because I saw what Sandi was doing and refused to play along. After she realized that it wasn't going to work, she went out of her way to make my life misserable everyday that I was there. She is very good at making you think that you are the one that is wrong, but I strongly believe that I did nothing wrong. I was one of the top sellers in the store and customers seemed to like me. But Sandi always found something to yell at me for. For example, she tried to write me up for being late, everyone in that store is always late, but I was the only one she wrote up. I fought it and I won. But that was the kind of things that she did. She accomplished turning some of the other employees against me as well. I came home crying almost everyday! My husband even went in and talked to her to find out what was going on. I know I sound like I am crazy and being a big baby, but I just couldn't handle it anymore! So on Thursday, Jan. 29, I walked out on her. I was told by the assistant that I needed to grow up. I asked her if she knew where the basket for the shipment was, she told me to look for it myself, I told her I did and couldn't find it, she told me to lose my attitude problem and told me not to talk to her like that. I asked, "like what? I am just asking for help. I think you are the one that started with the attitude." and that's when she told me to act my age. So I decided that it was always going to be like that and I left. I am glad that I quit, but I am sorry for the way it went down that day. I keep playing it in my head over and over, and sometimes the devil gets involved and I think of things that I wish I would have said a long time ago, but they are not nice things, but then there are times that I wish it would have been different.
I just really need prayer right now. If you think of it, will you pray for me? Thank you!
