And.... The shit has hit the fan.

And.... The shit has hit the fan.

Work was a little tense tonight.

It always happens when you get new people and seasoned veterans working together. The new people do as their told, the seasoned veterans are always trying to do things the way 'they' want them done.

Ultimately, it's the store manager who makes the decisions. Good, bad, ugly, it's their deal. So, when the store manager tells the new person to do something, whether the veteran likes it or not, it has to be done the way the store manager wants it.

Therein lies the issue.... Aside from myself, the entire management team is new.

The crew? Seasoned veterans.

Most of the time I find myself in the middle, trying to smooth things over and create a somewhat pleasant work environment for everyone.

By the time I got to work today I was tip toeing in the aftermath of God knows what pissing contest had happened and the atmosphere was thick.

What I wouldn't give for a sunny beach, a frosty margarita, and a beach chair in the sand right now.....

 But that's what customers are for!
Just kidding.
It's not nice to mess with unstable egos.
We get some that actually think their always right!
There's a lot of management that are
the same as those customers!

Would you like Himalayan smoked amber salt
with that margarita?
Using more than all the road!

    Quoting mc_justmc:
    Ugh, I hear this and it makes me glad I work by myself, when I have help it's just 1 or 2 people.
Amen to that I work for only one boss and with one employee - both are me
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

 You should try working for the federal govt sometime. EVERY day is like that! I don't have any sand, but I have an extra beach chair and a bottomless pitcher of ice cold margaritas for you!

Beach chair and margaritas?! I'm there!

When I worked in manufacturing this happened OFTEN. There was ALWAYS contempt between the shifts but I assumed that was just a manufacturing thing. I assumed wrong...

 It is a pain when you have such a mixed crew like that. You deserve a cold one after such a day.

I did pour myself a glass of wine tonight. I'm about to head in for a second.
