Now Even The Manager Knows

So I get to talking to the Japanese manager of the company, one question led to another, and I got asked if I did not like working with anyone in particular. I immediately mentioned that I disliked working with the Marketing Genius of the company.

From the very first day I worked with her, she actually talked down to me, like I was some student, fresh out of school, who had not worked a day in their life. No other staff had actually talked to me like that, and my first day meeting her was actually my fourth or fifth day on the job.

So other than the bad impression from the very first meeting, there was the incident where I gave her the title of Marketing Genius, then the day when she broke my bottle (and just buried the incident under the fridge apparently), and the day she thought her opinion mattered.

Today I get another point to add to the hate list. This was actually after telling the manager that I dislike her, and just simply telling him that "she cannot work" as the reason. She actually did something to prove my whole point, albeit only to me.

Due to some incident happening in the Scotts outlet, the boss of the company brought back three trays of food and the manager told me to try sell it off even if it meant lowing the price. This was midway through him carting in a van-load of stocks which we both had been stacking into the walk-in fridge. During the whole time, she apparently was outside just watching him push the stock in.

After all the stock was brought in, I had about an hour to sell a total of five trays of food. Cleared all the pans and fryer baskets, and placed them in the sink to soak in soapy water before I started packing the food for sale. Then for the hour I was trying to get as many packets sold, I got some help from the boy manning the counter next to me while the marketing genius just stood at the fruit juice counter, staring at what I was doing. Worse bit was when I finished packing, I found everything left in the sink and there was no attempt to rinse anything off.

Not only does she not help with sales, she did not help with washing up and then she expects people to help her when it is time to clear the vegetables back into the walk-in fridge. Perhaps a little teamwork would get you more help? I guess you thought I would stupidly carry three baskets of vegetables into the fridge for you rather than make you do slightly more work? Sorry, but I have no sympathy for you and your sad stories, and you just HAD to pull your weight for once!
