Job Update

Many of you have been asking about my next assignment. I believe I last left you all knowing that I was "promotable." I have to meet one more person in the "chain of command" and then I will hopefully be given my own store to manage.

Well...not to leave you all hanging, but there had not been much news to report on this matter until recently. Of course, we had rumors, and possibilities...but nothing I'd wanted to pass on because it changes so frequently.

So, as of today, I am officially finished with my time as a sales floor manager in my current store here in KY. On Monday, I report to the store across town (still in KY) as "support help." Let me give you some background information on the store I am going to...they have had 4 executives either fired or quit in the past 3 months!!! Now, 4 of the seven executives in the store are BRAND new managers...cherry Lieutenants for my military followers....graduated from college in MAY 2009 did 7 weeks of training and ta-da are "knighted" assistant managers!!! This is a super scary thought. If I had to explain my temporary assignment, it is like an executive officer...I'm not the store manager, but I'm her right hand person with more job knowledge than any of her other minions. I am going to be responsible for mentoring these newbies, and keeping the sales floor full of product and looking the way it should. I did a little recon last night and it is very obvious that these guys just don't even know what wrong looks like, so it is understandably hard for them to fix things.

So, say a prayer for my new although temporary position across town. :)
