I wanted to be my departments manager, so I walked into my manager's office with a full script in my head ready for a fight, we've butted heads a lot the last 8 months, like pretty much every day I'm in, so I figured he would be really resistant to me taking the rold, but, the complete opposite happened, he jumped up excited and told me I've made his day... Wtf! Now I have this fighting energy in me and I don't know what to do, but now I'm the Produce department manager and I can finally start fixing all the shit that's been bothering me.
Thank you for your time. I gotta go find someone to get into a disagreement with to get rid of this energy.
I'm not used to getting my way.

Yeah it's not like me to do that, but I've been actively trying to get better at advocating for myself, I'm quite proud of myself tbh, I did an adult thing and I didn't get into a fight while doing it.

Well done! What are you going to fix in the produce department

A whole bunch of shit, but mainly I have to get my teams morale up, our store manager is a soulless ghoul, they type of person to tell a person who's daughter tried to hang her self " you shoulda just given her the rope", so I need to be the bridge between them so he leaves them the fuck alone. Pretty much undo evey single desicnion he's made that made our jobs harder or was just absolutely stupid, so pretty much everything.

Huh, that's twice today someone evil has said something nice to me! The first being the boss giving me the promotion.

Hmm, careful? Maybe he knows something you don’t. The promotion came with a pay increase, right?

He might think that, but this gives me the ear of his boss and I'm in a singing mood. He's then most incompetent manager I've ever worked for and I've been working retail for 20 years and I've worked with some dumb motherfuckers.

Excellent because I am tired of receiving rotten produce in my grocery orders and I'm sure your customers are as well.

Hahahaaa! Great job! Well done. Store the energy for your personal life. Use it to take care of yourself!

Cheers! Ohh yeah I will, but I've been stressing out about this department for months, at least I'll be able to fix the glaringly obvious issues.
