The last week or so at work has been SO draining and so frustrating. I belong to a department, and work in another one... Right now, I'm playing the boss since effectively, there isn't one. Between Melissa leaving and Shardae never, you know, being at work... I have half of the 2nd floor coming to me every 5 minutes... Everything from POS training, to coaching, to random questions...
I love teaching, and I'm a natural leader.
The problem is I am compensated to be a stylist. My expectations are those of a stylist... not a manager, not a salesperson. When I spend my day teaching and coaching and doing all the little things a manager would do to keep the department in order, I don't meet my expectations.... But if I don't do it who will? Not Laura for damn sure. Dumb as a fucking rock. poor rock. I don't care where you went to school... obviously they didn't teach you how to think or problem solve or do anything besides exactly what you are told. ugh
I talked to Nicole about it today. At least someone will be in the position soon enough and I can get back to booking appointments and doing the job I got hired to do. whew.
until then, i leave work feeling drained. completely. i arrive at work and whatever problem is left over from the day before, it's my responsibility to fix. why? im the only one who will.
one day im sure i'll be in management. ill get to train and teach and cultivate skills.... and i'll be really good at it :) im just not there yet.
