Spent

I

Four days in and I'm pretty worn out and mentally exhausted from managing the store. The world of kink retail has it's very unique attributes but ultimately it's retail management. I was given two weeks notice of resignation from a crying member of my staff first thing this morning and then proceeded my afternoon of cat/staff herding and delegating. It's amazing how the youngest member cant't stop working and complaining about the other staffs work ethics while the older staff do everything they can to get away with ficking off. No surprise really, but after months of scolding and catching them on their phones or using our retail computers to peruse the internet I would think they would understand what's expected of their performance. Perhaps the consequences aren't clear or harsh enough. I've been trying to be relaxed at work, because my absence I'm trying not to come down too hard too quickly right after my return, I'll give them a week or two, and I'm trying to manage the swelling and pain in my knee without over stressing it. Next week some shit's going down for my staff and things are changing, procedures are getting streamlined and consequences will be tougher, all well deserved and overdue. I feel like I have kids working for me sometimes, and daddy's done with the piggy back rides and candy necklaces.
