Okay you guys...

Did you ever think that the men were actually better at the job? If I was the manager of a company I'd hire the best person, even if that meant all of them were men. I'm not saying that men are naturally better at that job, just that if it was reversed and they were all women you wouldn't be complaining.

First of all, lets get one thing straight. I AM in management, you need to read the post again. Second of all, this is about a transfer that was agreed upon at the beginning of my employment that they have since gone back on. This isn't about a promotion. You should read carefully before you respond with such an asinine comment. The person who is going to manage the store that I was supposed to transfer to and manage is a manager from another store. If it was a promotion and someone else got it, more power to them. IF it were a woman being transferred to where I was supposed to go as agreed upon, I would still be mad as this was an agreement made months ago. I walked into a branch that was a mess and going seriously downhill and have, since I've been there, managed to clean up some of the mess and turn a positive corner with growing and collecting. The point was made to my by one of our owners this afternoon that it wouldn't be a good business decision for them to let me go to another store being that the store I am in is now making progress since I have been there. The point is, this was promised to me and then the promise was broken. I left a company where I had benefits and paid vacation to go to a company where I did not because of the promise to get me in a store that was closer to home as soon as one was available. Not ONE of those men work harder than I do. If you ask my divisional manager what his job is, he'll tell you it's to answer his phone. I spend my day chasing people around who owe this company money, and by that I do mean chasing them around by calling them until I can get ahold of them, going to visit them at home or at work, filing cases with the court, going to court dates and all that on top of marketing and trying to grow and THAT on top of daily sales and payments. I do a whole lot more than answer my phone and for that I DESERVE what was promised to me.. an opportunity to work closer to home.

Speakeasy, that wasn't for you by the way, I probably should have mentioned that. I am in management though. It's not a question of a promotion, it's just doing the same thing in a store closer to my house. Even if I had the money to spend on an attorney, I'm sure that it wouldn't do much good. I'm just going to look for another job and hopefully one will turn up soon. I was looking when I found this one, right? Thanks for your response.
