If they were harassing someone for their religion? <br /><br />THAT'S why it's a big deal.Sophie Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333071551207169892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-50617277021840154212016-03-23T00:05:15.137-04:002016-03-23T00:05:15.137-04:00Sophie- I'm a manager at a certain bookstore c...Sophie- I'm a manager at a certain bookstore chain. And the way those two managers treated you was flat out wrong. I've been following your blog posts about this, and believe me, I'd have a few words to say to Little Miss Jesus Loves You. Nobody -NOBODY- is allowed to treat my booksellers that way. I don't care if she's a regular or not- I've banned regulars before for harassing employees, and that's exactly what this is, harassment. You're not a cog, and you're certainly not replaceable- you're a member of our bookselling family, and I for one have got your back.

They just want to make sure all I's are dotted and T's are crossed, as we are in a rich area, and rich folk are very litigious. They have plenty of backbone- that is not the issue here.<br /><br />It's a matter of waiting for orders.

But after that, I'd say that you are doing the right thing - not abandoning your post while others are on line. This woman knows you won't abandon your post and is taking advantage of it. And your management is looking for ways that you can do your job, yet deal with this person themselves. Don't worry about being a cog in the wheel - they would have dismissed you already if they didn't want you..... Just find a way to get help - even if it means temporarily abandoning the post before she reaches you (but apologize to the next person on line).....<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.com
