Being a sales manager is a tricky job, especially in retail, where sales are often determined by the economy.

Like people have any control over that.

Unfortunately, many people get blamed for things that aren’t their fault.

See how an employee responded to being treated this way.

I am a bad employee? Ok

I work in sales at an office supplies chain.

There was an issue with one of the software pieces that a customer bought and the IT department was having a hard time in setting it up.

It ended up taking all day and the customers eventually got tired of waiting and just returned everything.

Then things started getting tense for him.

That upset my sales manager when I told him.

Within a week I got my first official write up.

He blamed me for that incident and for not talking to all the customers, so I replied:

“The only reason as to why I would do that is because I would be talking to another customer that came in first. I’m not about to ditch one customer just to start chatting up another.”

He was fed up, but had more to do…

He unjustly blamed for other things, so shortly after this I quit. 10 minutes before my shift.

I checked out the store some time later and my former coworker said that sales were terrible.

So bad they had to sell video games and consoles to bring more money in.

Here’s what people are saying.

Unashamed to be a jerk for no reason.

Haha that would not go over well.

I’m glad, too! People like this don’t change.

Good to know.

I imagine they would fire you.

I’m so glad I never worked in retail.

Bad managers and customers seem super common.
