    ok I had to vent somewhere and other Social media is watched sooo the Beeb gets my venting / WTF and im 4 beers deep so bear with me

    I've worked for the last 4 years at a automotive supply warehouse. I was hired as a dock worker, within a year I took over as the Warehouse manager over 5 associates . so for the last 3 years as Manager with only 1 direct supervisor I have implemented numerous supply changes, put inventory checks in place, a loss prevention protocol and checks in place for our picking and packaging employees. I took over the driver routing planning and the payroll program for those 5 associates 2 years ago. 7 months ago we hired a new GM (my direct supervisor ) since then he has made numerous changes in procedures outside of the realm in which I deal with, all for the better. He came to me 4 months back with a plan to move me into a inventory specialist roll with our customers as I am a metrics based thinker. I have received a merit increase every year since hire and a rather large one 3 months after I was hired from the new GM based on our plans and discussions of my current contributions . all sounds great right? I work m-f 7a-330p I get off early or requests at any time based on my race schedule he was all for it. We have had a very open vocally work environment since the beginning him wanting to know everything that happens to be able to track and adjust. we have had 2 salesman and a driver that were troublesome and he wanted me to track their behavior, conversations and any orders made incorrectly

    Yesterday he asks to speak with me in his office around 8am . this isn't unusual we talk very frequently . I go in close the door and sit down. his demeanor is quite different. he says he close to letting me go, that although my work productivity and accuracy is at a 99.7% pick and check rate . I have been coming to him with to many issues, he said that there is always a problem and that I am being negative about the chance for improvement. I stated that it was him that wanted to know EVERY problem that arose so he could take the correct actions . and thanked me every time I came to him... mind you this is maybe 1-2 issues that effect customer productivity every other week.. and generally it was the same issue from the same salesman over and over. even after multitude of peer to peer conversations . so no I dont have a good outlook on this persons ability to change! we also have a driver that refuses to run the route in the order laid out so it takes him all day to run a single route when our other runs 2-3 that is a waste of company resources . again many conversations no change (I have no ability to give verbal , written or terminations ) so because of these issues that he says have been ongoing for the last 2 months he is going to write me up... he slides me a write up slip across the table that states im on a final written warning and next step is termination.
    mind you I have never been written up, have actually many commendations on my associate record , I have honestly never even received a verbal warning or conversation stating this prior. He tells me I have 1 freaking week to turn around my attitude or we will have to part ways.

    then after we close at 4 he sends a company wide email at 430 when no one is there stating he is promoting another associate to the management position effective immediately . (this guy had NO clue) so I expected to walk into a termination today. well the GM never showed today, the new manager had no fucking clue what to do or why it happened the GM never spoke to him. (he finally talked to him around 3 today) meanwhile I called the GM he sent me to VM I asked to have a sit down convo regarding the change . I haven't heard back, he never showed and now im getting questions from all side with no answers.

    so what the fuck a I supposed to do and think?!?!?

    Sounds like a lot of shady BS outside of your control, so I suggest a 5th beer and roll with it.

    Find a job. This one is on the out. Sounds like you should have no trouble. DO NOT QUIT find something first that is better. Lots of opportunity right now and not a lot of good people. On the way out do not tell them why just say you have this opportunity that you think is better and thank them for the years you have worked there. In the meantime do not try to fix them they don't want it, instead do the absolute best job you can but only yours. When I was at EDS I referred to it as don't question 'the way' as they did not want to hear it no matter how rational. I left and have been happy I did, they no longer exist.

    Good luck and remember in the mean time smile.

    Because if you plan to get rid of someone you need to know everything he knows. This has been his plan from the start. He now thinks he has enough of a grasp to live without you. Move along...job hunt while at work and leave as soon as you have something.

    Sounds like someone that should not be a manager/supervisor of any kind. Although I'm betting HIS boss wants one of his croanies in your position.

    Do not train your replacement.
    If the guy they replaced you with comes to you with questions, refer him to the GM.
