Thumbs up TOPIC: SoberRecovery A Place To Let Go And Share. Thank You SR.

Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found it
necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.

What am I gonna do? A question
that is definitely on my mind today.

Yesterday I was let go of my little
bakery job because of a text message
i sent a fellow employee. A little child
who was promoted as manager over
us had this go to her head.

I had worked well with her praising
her for a job well done. However the
pressure placed on her has made
a monster out of her. In my opinion.

Several takes to the office and resent-
ment set in for me. A text to say i work
with u for business reasons only and
that i dont have to like u. Saying a
prayer may relieve pain. Other than
that stay away from me.

In other words my inner thoughts were
i work with u but i dont like u, ill keep
u in my prayers while u go thru growing
pains and stay out of my personal
life.

Of course she printed the text and
between her mom and others she
took it as a threat. I think her mom
blew it terribly out of proportion to
protect her child. Which made me
out to due harm to her.

A mom and pop business sided with
her of course because she had been
with them the longest.

You know i could blow this situation
completely out of proportion and
what good would it do.

This bakery is well known ....ambrosia
bakery.com if u wish to visit the site.

Just like most business they have
have their problems....and like most
it has poor management and disfunctional.

Ud think they would hire a better qualified
group of employees to match the product
and yet they hire low income people. Or
mostly students. And because of that
people dont stay there long.

So u get poor help and problems all
over the place.

Anyway...i did my job well to the best
of my ability....not perfect and had
my share of problems, but i still came
to work dressed nicely and smiling
for the most part and got along with
just about all of my co workers.

I was told most felt threatened by me.

ME..! Why? Just cause i was happy
and looked nice......Maybe they
didnt want anyone better than them
working there.

Everyone had a position there. Bakers
in the kitchen...Stackers that stacked
and iced cakes.....Strawberry section....
Decorators ..where the money is made.
Wedding cakes etc.

Then us in Customer Service.....waiting
on customers ......up front to greet them.

We put up with the snooty moody
customers. And yet the customers r
to be treated royally.

Ok....ill end here for now and return
with more thoughts . SR gives me
that freedom to share whats bothering
and still allows me to return.

Its that unconditional respect you have
for us members. A wonderful online
fellowship.

THANK YOU SOBER RECOVERY.
