We recently acquired a new manager at the branch. She seems very nice and really interested in the branch doing well. Since she got here we actually had 5+ account sales in 1 week. That just does not happen here. Maybe when the branch 1st opened...
Our temporary CSR left yesterday for Duanesburg. I actually feel like I might miss her, which is weird considering we did not really talk. We did not dislike each other, we just really have nothing in common, even though she is only a year older than me. I had a nightmare earlier this week about reviews and she was really mean. The manager asked her and my supervisor about my work habits/ ethic. She said all this stuff about me being in the back in an undershirt (because I don't like to just wear dress shirts so I will unbutton my shirt once I am done working some times) and my dad working on my car in the parking lot. I got really angry when she was saying things about my dad. That does NOT sit well with me.
They moved me to my old manager's station today. I kind of like that people cannot easily look at my screen, but I feel more watched/ accessible. Customers/ co-workers can just walk up to my station and easily know whether I am on task or not. Really not a fan of the idea... On the other hand, I do not have a phone until they come out and activate my jack. Although my supervisor does not seem to care. She still expects me to answer the phone so I now I need to walk across the room to do it. Kind of frustrating.
Oddly enough, we have managed to keep a steady number of 4 in the branch on weekdays and then just 2 on Saturdays (as they have said that is all we need). Even though at times we have had to pull other people from other branches, but always that steady 4. I will not say that at times people have not gone else where during the day (appointments and such) but we maintain our workforce here.
