I blasted music all day.
its not just feeling blue, its like feeling absolutely black and on the edge of sobbing for no reason at every moment.

I'm glad I had a good day the other day, but I feel as though I'm paying for my moment of happiness. I fired two employees today. The first one was honestly no big deal; he abandoned his station. He has many write ups, and so it's no big loss to my team. The second one was the big deal.

She was reported swearing out on the sales floor, using her phone, and shouting at her coworkers. I told her to shut down and go home. I was just going to write her up, but then she started cursing at me. She called me dozens of hurtful names, including but not limited to fat dyke, fat bitch, fucking bitch, dog, and there were a few various combinations of those ones, with ugly, slut, stupid, etc. She also told me to 'go fuck a dog', and made barking sounds. She called me wolfie like it was an insult; it's never been a secret that I love wolves, and that I call myself Wolfie. But I had no idea that she had been around to hear that sort of thing. I had to have the other senior lead escort her out of the building. She was doing all this in front of customers, and my other employees. I had to go apologize to the Costco managers just in case they had complaints come in about the situation. I had to hide in the office after all that so my staff wouldn't see me have a small meltdown. Then once I got my shit together, I had to go around to all my employees and seem utterly unperturbed as I told them all that if anyone is talking about it, or want to know what happened, to speak to me, to hopefully curb a little bit of the gossip. It will happen anyway, but I would rather it not get out of hand. I feel very alone right now.

Okami, that does suck. I'm glad you got rid of her, yeesh. Unprofessional jerks deserve to get fired. It's good to free up the jobs for someone who WANTS it. You did a good thing.

Yeah I know it's better that she's gone. But some of the things she called me were very hurtful, and while in theory, I know I shouldn't let insults coming from a small mind get to me... it's not always easy to tune out.

Just picture her pleading with a MacDonald's manager for a job and getting turned down because of her behavior there.

[Trethowan]

hahaha... nice.

If you see her crossing the street, reach your fingers forward and do this!

I skipped the first 20 seconds out of sheer impatience.

you'll feel better when everything runs much more smoothly and drama free without her.

You handled it like a grown up and will triumph in the end. I wouldn't want an employee like that and my family members would be the type to hunt down her manager and report her bad behavior. Projecting their bad behavior and faults on other people is the sign of someone who isn't as psychologically mature as they could be.

Don't give the hurtful things a voice, if you don't hear them they can't exist. Look for signs of your totems giving you strength, after all she called them for you, even if it's a customer in a wolf t-shirt.

For the past couple of weeks or so, I've been waking up at 4am - practically on the dot. Then I'm up for at least an hour, often longer before falling asleep for about an hour or so. Considering my husband gets up at 6am for work ... yeah, not fun.

I am SO OVER THIS!
