soap box

I am back. I didn't go anywhere.
I work for a new company. It is BALLS. How mature of me? It really is. There is something about the notion of 'cool'. I work for this place, and they just arbitrarily fire people. Last week they fired a manager - because he wasn't manager material, and he called in sick for work twice. Translation? They fired him because the main managers roommate came to the store to work, and then needed to fire someone. I have worked there for about 6 weeks now, and I think there is a biweekly firing. And almost every fire should be a 'warning'. No one cares enough to report them for being CRAZY, but someone really should. They are an awful company to work for. We all had to do inventory last week, which meant we had to be at the store at 4:45am. One of the guys was pretending that the scan gun was an enormous cell phone - it was really funny. The main manager walked by and is like "WHAT are you DOING?" (she thought she was on a real cell phone).... granted if it was a cell, he shouldn't be on it at work - the managers reaction was this: I thought that was a real cell, and I was about to fire you on the spot. This is to probably the best employee I have ever worked with. This dude is awesome, and always gets great reviews by secret shoppers - she was ready to fire him on the spot?
To conclude my rant, there is a call sheet of employees that is dated 6 months ago - over half the people on the list don't work there anymore.... does that not say something.... ha ha ha as soon as I get fired, I will talk about this all more publicly .... until then, they are a man, and I need to make rent.
