I've been having some trouble with my "supervisor." That is in quotes because she doesn't really do much supervising. Once they hired me, she wanted nothing to do with the store. I've been getting most of my support and help from the bookkeeper. Which is fine, though a little annoying when she pulls her rank on me when she happens to want to be gone the same week I do. Though I can't complain too much because she hired me without doing an interview or looking at my resume or anything, simply because I've been around volunteering and she knew me and knew people liked me (which is how I hear the world works). So yay for that.
My problem comes from the fact that she basically stole three finger puppets from my store. We just recently got them in and they've been a huge hit. (Points for me because they are the first company I've gone after to bring in a new product!) First, she wanted me to sell them to her at our cost instead of the actual price (divide by .6 to get the price with a 40% profit). I told her she had to talk to the bookkeeper about that because I wouldn't even know how to make that right on the computer books. So she took them to talk to the bookkeeper....and apparently merely showed them to her before taking them home.
It has been a while and she still hasn't payed for them. I've asked her about paying a couple times and she comes up with excuses and jokes it off....and what can I do because she's technically my superior? I've mentioned it to the bookkeeper, who's talked about waiting a bit more and then she could always take it out of her paycheck. But I don't want to make enemies...it's a rough situation.
Then one of the days she was subbing in for me, another finger puppet goes missing. The computer thinks we have two when physical inventory is only one. I can't prove it was her. It's right around Christmas, so there are actually a lot of people coming in. Maybe it was one of them. But with that past problem, what else can I think?
Hopefully this is resolved soon. I don't like office drama.
