Ssssshh, There are spys everywhere.


We have a "Mole" at the store. How do we know ?
Well, every Saturday our Boss has a "Meeting" with us.......& if one of the spy's has told her anything........that's what the meeting is about. Like last Saturday...we had a "Meeting" about selling & Talking about Plus Memberships. Apparently someone from Membership was walking around & didn't hear us Demo Ladies talking about the Plus Memberships.......so, she told our Boss.
I barely have enough time to tell people about the Product I'm selling.....before they stuff the sample in their face & walk away.......let alone Plus Memberships, & e-values.
So, I'm sure we will have a "Meeting" on Saturday about giving away uncooked food. (sigh).
It's a shame to work this way....always looking over your shoulder & wondering...."Am I doing the Right thing ?".........."Will someone Tell on me if I stop to say Hello to this person ?"
I try very hard at work to keep a low profile........to get my paperwork done & done right.......to help out as much as I can with the Demo kitchen clean up.......to keep my mind on my work at my table.......& to STAY by my table !
But, still.....when I lift my head up & I see someone staring at me........I wonder, "What the Heck am I doing now ?" or Not doing that I should be doing.......& "Will there be a "Meeting" about this on Saturday ?"
I could be just standing still.......& still get yelled at. (sigh)
One of the things I get yelled at the most for........is not helping in the Demo kitchen. The kitchen is very small.......I am very large.......& when you get 4 or 5 other people in there.......we just get in each other's way. So, I spend most of my time....putting the tables away....taking out the trash......& finding a Manager to sign off on our paperwork. All of which helps, but a few of the other women don't see it that way..........they view it as trying to get out of doing the work.
Once I finished my Demo early (Sold out of product) & I went to the kitchen....& started to clean up. When the others on my shift got there........every time they would start to do something on the chore list........I'd say, "I already did that." But, this one woman went behind me & redone it anyway........saying, "Well, it's still dirty."........I can't win.
I'm not going to worry about it anymore..........let the Spy's tell on me. As long as I know I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing.........than the Heck with them.
I have decided....however.......to keep my nose to the grindstone more. One of my biggest faults at work is stopping to "Chat" with the other Demo ladies while coming back from Breaks.........No more.......I'll walk right on by now. Even last week end.......while going to Breaks....or coming back from Breaks.......I kept repeating to myself......"Move along, Move along."
The Spy's are out there........They are everywhere.........& could be anyone. Be Afraid....Be Very Afraid !!!!!!!! I like my job to much to let the Spy's bring me down.
