My fault, so to speak. I really like the actual work, I liked the physical nature of it, at 57, being able to lug a 7 foot used sofa myself, I liked the pressure of getting stuff out to the floor, trying to sell it, trying to make “daily” plan and such, but, after 2 months, I couldn’t deal with the management style, the certain management mentality that this store had.

No one took responsibility for much of anything, yet, in a pinch, almost anything could be blamed on someone else. If furniture is not selling, ask a manager what he would recommend, no recommendation. But, if he needs someone to blame sales on, it’s you, you didn’t put out enough stuff, you didn’t price it right (there are no rules but you are still responsible).

A lot of this wasn’t actually happening to me, but it was happening to other employees in the warehouse. And I was butting heads with management. I had idea that would certainly increase sales and production (turnover of used items) but I was upsetting the status quo.

There was some other things, concerns that I had about certain things, but generally, it was the fact that I didn’t fit with the management.

So, I was a square peg in a black hole, I quit.

Sorry it didn’t work out for you. What do you plan to do now? Go back to the theater?
