Nope. I'm assuming he would have called me if they called him.
This has to be the worst part of job hunting. I love all the advice like if I don't want to be moved into the shredder I have to send a personalized engraved thank you note for them being gracious enough to interview me and do it within a certain time frame.
Meanwhile employers can take their sweet time getting back to us and not even bother to send a robo email if you didn't get the job.

Oh good golly. Owners son finally talked to me. Wants to learn how to do the banking because "who knows who will be here in then end.." while I'm glad he's finally showing some interest in his company I can't help but think "dude you're going to totally f this up". But at least he's starting to realize that my staff is going to bail as soon as they can.

I just got my formal offer email to me from HT ... I really need to contact them and turn it down. I just love the company and I have not worked for them 1 day of my life and it is sad I have to turn them down. They offer assistance for both rent or home buying that I have never seen before: generous is an understatement! Rent: besides the deposit and first month, they offer $500/month assistance for 12 months Mortgage: $1,500/month assistance for the first year, $1,000/month for the second year and $500/month for the third year... Just Carl, maybe you two should at least talk about this again. That's an incredible relocation package.

I need to answer them by tomorrow; don't want them to feel like I was toying with them. If it was not for this damn house and my wife growing attached to it I would be out of here in a heartbeat. While she says she will support any decision I make; I know that doesn't mean it is without "complaining". Oh well.... YM can say I told you so when it comes to buying this house. A lease on an apartment (they cover up to 2 months fee for breaking a lease) would not have phased us.

I report to my new store on Sunday, 2 weeks ahead of schedule... It will be interesting!
I visited the store on Friday and spent Saturday there... All I got to say is I got my work cut out for me that is all. I will earned every penny I get paid... And will work my ass off to get $10,000 bonus in Q1 and every quarter after.

A ten thousand dollar bonus availability per quarter? For a store Supervisor? I have to wonder how much your department heads qualify for. And your district mgr. Now we know why groceries are so expensive. It is not the food cost.

Carl, when my brother was sent to a new store, pretty much the first thing he did was hold interviews so he'd have a group ready for go for his first round of firings. Eventually word got out that he was the hachet man for his district. He worked for a national chain of drug stores until a couple of years ago when they changed manager expectations. He wasn't a sit in the office guy, he was hands on. Anyway, good luck!

Now we know why groceries are so expensive. It is not the food cost. Groceries have never been less expensive compared with incomes. You can thank the store managers for that. True, but not true. American worker's wages have receded since, basically the 1990's, excluding the money bank managers and hedge fund people. Grocery prices have increased and pkg size has shrunk during the same time frame. Specific items have decreased but tell me other than certain produce or imported Chinese food products that might be cheaper, the vast majority of items are higher now than the late 20th century. Store mgrs have certain control over utility costs, but even that has been taken over by computer programs for light, heat and air conditioning. Store mgrs come to the front when cutting labor and improving efficiencies of the staff. Usually be cutting hours and improving spmh, hurting the small people in the corporation. You know, the people that operate the store. Store managers have no control over retail pricing anymore, unless you are working for a ma and pa operation of a one store chain.

I found paperwork for job stuff at work. So I'm taking it home and hopefully tonight I can keep on fleshing out my resume. Tonight's busy so we'll see how far I get.
It's gonna be hard to burnish my resume when I've worked with these people the last 4 years or so (for manager) they were witness to my successes and my failures.
I'm working on getting resume prepped for submission around the first.

So I'm sitting a new job waiting for hr. Had 8 am appointment for background check that should take about 5 minutes. Been sitting here for 20 minutes and they can't get ahold of the woman because she's on the phone. Interesting.

Well, review went well. Boss is open to me exploring other things and willing to help. I knew she probably would be, felt like it was worth the risk. I feel like she's on her way out, I need to get the hell out before she finds something else and everything implodes.

Phone interview with Crate & Barrel went well and they will forward my application on so they can bring me in for a phone interview.
Visited my store today and pissed is an understatement. People are going to hate my guts once I start that is for sure!

I should just go home today. Apparently the little stick on the -80 rack is to hold your boxes in, if it's not in there they float away to the bottom of the tank. Learned that the hard way.

Just remember that if you fire them right off the bat, staffing may be a nightmare.

20 minutes after my phone interview with Crate & Barrel I got a call from the sales manager.
Interview tomorrow at 6:30 after work. Since this is a interview for a possible PT job in the evenings: business casual is ok?
Don't feel like getting the whole monkey suit out for that ...

I thought you were going to focus on the new job and not take a PT job.
