    hi. I am Johnny. New here but not to MGTOW. In my current job that I work in retail sales, we just lost our old manager. He quit and left for another company. He was very good with our staff. We hired a new guy that nobody really knows, so all of us are kinda freaked out. Also, one of our employees quit. It looks as if the employee who quit is going to be replaced by a smoking hot female who has only held bar tender jobs. I am NOT a fan of this for obvious reasons… She is going to be a huge liability and she will be entitled and lazy. Especially since the new manager reeks of being a mangina. I dont want to quit this job, however, because the pay is great. I hope we do not hire her but if we do, expect many rants from me on this here forum. I am 30 yrs old and have done very well staying away from females like the above girl. Here is to hoping she falls flat on her face and quits. *Fingers crossed*.

    Not likely.

     

    I live in an apartment complex and have been in and out of this place for nearly 35 years.  During that time, I got to know who the managers were.

     

    The one we have now is the absolute worst one we’ve ever had.  She has no idea what she’s doing.  She doesn’t do much besides sit in her office and drink coffee.  She’s often absent because her kids are sick.  She’s also well-known for being bad-tempered and I’ve locked horns with her on one occasion.  On top of that, since she took over, just about every maintenance project takes several weeks, if not months, to complete, unless it’s something that might inconvenience her or her office staff.

     

    Each year, the tenants get to fill out a survey about the place.  I’ve pointed out her failures and shortcomings, often suggesting that she be removed from the job.  Does the rental company listen?  What do you think?

     

    Something tells me the company is getting revenge on us for having complained about the only other woman who ran the place.  She was the manager about 15 years ago and didn’t last long because many of us complained about her.

     

    I really would like to move but I can’t afford to, particularly since rental accommodations are scarce in this city.

    Yeah, I feel your pain. If they go ahead and hire this girl, I have made up my mind I will ignore her and only reply to her with 1 worded answers. Give her NO ammunition. I am very good at my job, and other women have tried to get me fired before because I “hog all the customers”. That, or they try sleeping with me because I make big bucks in commission. Either way, its another bullet I will have to dodge. At least I will have this great place to vent when s~~~ gets hard.

    Johnny:

     

    Be careful how you deal with her.  In the early 1980s, I worked for a certain company and the staff in my division included a radical feminist.  There wasn’t anything that she didn’t find offensive to women:  pictures, ads, phrases, social customs, you name it.

     

    She went after me one day because I didn’t take down the Page 3 pinups I had beside my desk way off in the far corner of the office I was in.  She went and tattled to the division chief and guess who was taken to the woodshed?  Never mind that she would rarely have been in my area and those pictures couldn’t be easily seen.  Afterwards, I showed her a picture of Diana, Princess of Wales which, I recall, was on a calendar of the royal family.  Guess who visibly turned red right in front of me?

     

    Eventually, there wasn’t anybody in the division that wanted anything to do with her.  She frequently picked fights with people because she felt the rules and protocols discriminated against her because she was a woman.  Even her female colleagues thought she was nuts.

     

    Was she fired for her tantrums and outbursts?  Of course not, or, rather, not right away.  One of our clients insisted that we keep her because she had a background which was, apparently, vital for the project we were working on.  Eventually, after all sorts of meetings and concessions couldn’t get her to exercise some restraint and self-discipline, she was sacked.

     

    To be fair, though, the company was looking for an excuse to fire her and I’m sure it encouraged her nutty behaviour to build a case against her.  That still didn’t let her off the hook because she felt she had a right to be in one’s face about whatever she didn’t agree with.

     

    Apparently, prior to my starting with the company, she was married to a foreigner who she met while they were grad students together.  According to the account I heard, they went back to his home country and she was quickly made aware that she had to be a dutiful wife, subject to her husband’s rules.  (Gee, didn’t she do her homework before she got hitched?)  The marriage didn’t last and she came back home.

     

    I wasn’t privy to what went on while she was over there.  Maybe he was abusive to her, treating her like chattels.  Still, that didn’t justify her belligerence and abrasiveness.

     

    Oh, as for her being essential, the company hired her replacement several months later.

    Haha at least your story had a happy ending Wave! I hope mine has a similar one, or that we just avoid this girl.

    Hahaha so update on this one. The girl comes in business slacks and a girly suit jacket. She brushes right past me and my coworker on her way to interview. She has only bar tendered and never worked in my business, which requires a ton of training and knowledge of technology. She is interviewing and she is already acting better than everyone else. Lmao… If she does get hired, I am sure she will be a nightmare. I plan to sit by idle and ignore her. Money she p~~~es off all the competitive big egoed people as well as the other girl we work with (who actually does her job well). Free entertainment I guess but shebwill get nothing but one worded answers from me. I will be all Marshawn Lynch to her, completely ignoring her. One of teo things will happen if she is hired… She will quit within the year or she will f~~~ her way to the top. But that may be hard to do since our DM is a girl lol…
