spacemonkeyluvnSo guess what I just found out. My former coworker, the co-manager that everyone hated (I'll use her initial 'B'), quit. Yesterday around 1pm I got a call from ADT, the security people, about my former store. I answered the phone so I could tell them that I don't work there anymore. I thought it was an odd time for that kind of call, usually it's in the morning or evening when the store is being opened or closed, but I didn't really give it that much thought.
I got a call today from a former employee and she told me that yesterday B said that there was some emergency and had to close the store early. We've closed maybe an hour or two before normal hours before but that was only if inventory or something was the next morning. We've never closed at 1 in the afternoon. So I don't know what was going on there. But she didn't close down the registers or the store. She must have locked the doors and armed the alarm with her code, otherwise ADT wouldn't have called me, but everything was still running the next morning. The poor guy who has been helping over there had to perform the closing and opening routines this morning. That was yesterday and today I hear she's no longer working for the company.
I don't know what really went down. I have no idea if there was an emergency, though I hear she told different stories to at least 3 people. All I know is that she didn't give her 2 weeks, she closed the store halfway through the day on Sunday, and by today she isn't working there anymore. I also know that there is now NO manager of any kind at that store. It sounds like there are at least 2 people coming from other stores to help out, but I don't know how long they can keep that up.
The two people who are still there from when I worked there want me back. The only problem is that B wasn't the only issue I had with the store. The company is run poorly and honestly, I don't think they're doing very well. Nobody is, but I think other locations are doing better. I figure it's only a matter of time before this one closes. It's something to think about. I got numbers for people, but I'm leaning towards 'no' right now :/

Well, you might not be able to get a job just yet, but at least you're working towards your goal! And in the end, that will definitely pay off ^_^
