Work has been so stressful ever since I took on another managerial role at work. It's become more of a babysitting work environment along with trying to get the job at hand accomplished.
Last night while laying in bed I was thinking to myself about how I went off on an associate earlier for him ignoring me when I told him to do something. I was an asshole and he deserved it. But I've become more of an ass at work because of those individuals who do not want to work or whom are breaking the rules. Even another manager told me that people are noticing my change - how more aggressive I've become and I'm not as nice.
Before I started work today I talked to my store manager and told him how I was feeling... that I've become more of a dick lately - he laughed but then put things into perspective for me. He told me that I cannot fight every battle with these associates because I'll never win them all and in the long run I'll stress myself out even more than I already have. He also mentioned that those few associates know they're at the end of the line w/ the company.
I worked my shift... then on my lunch I sat out in my car and took in everything he had told me. I've decided from here on out that I'm not going to be that asshole every one thinks I am. I am not going to be that "policing" manager... not going to confront every individual of their wrong doings. These associates will seal their own fate in the long run. My main focus now is to be a good manager... a positive role model and help those who actually want to work and succeed with the company or if they choose not to stay hopefully I'll have some kind of positive influence where ever they end up.
Back to work tomorrow and starting then I will just do my job - get the job at hand accomplished to the best of my abilities and go from there. Not going to live in this stressful hell hole anymore... What happens at work stays at work - not bringing that shit home with me anymore.
Ok... rambling and venting over now
PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
