So, it turns out
I'm not the only one extremely sore about the condition of our store. Many good servers are upset.
~One server I suggested as a trainer never made it; another did, but was removed the day after his first training session. Hurt feelings are rampant.
~Unrealistic expectations are running rampant. At one point (as already mentioned here), I was expected to take both a 3o top, a party platter order to be ready in 2o minutes, and a majorly slammed ToGo.
~Once again (and this has been a constant fault of all management teams I've had, not just this recent one), I've been surprised at the last possible moment with, "Oh, by the way, you're training today." I have no time to prepare and my trainee takes the hurt for that. That insults my pride as well. You do not insult my pride. That makes for a very unhappy Ginny.
~Negative attitudes from the quickly diminishing trainer team have been leaking into the trainees, resulting in an overall uphappy atmosphere.
~Word on the street is that our store may be closed after all.
~And in all this, I've been told by a very reliable source that the Area Director doesn't seem to care. I've met the A.D. and that does not seem like him at all, but I also trust my source. That is just plain awful.

Like I've told a lot of servers, I don't really care (though I've blathered on here enough to show that I really do, else it wouldn't be bothering me so much); it's the servers I feel bad for. And it just amuses me to no end when someone keeps coming up to me and asking, "Are you really leaving in September? Why?!" Debbie asked me that just today, in an almost accusing tone. Or an envious. Hard to tell.

The ironic chuckle is hard to stifle.
