I'm really enjoying V.V. Brown. It turns out my current coworkers actually have sophisticated taste in music. Well, some of them do.
How do you deal with a shallow,vindictive, and manipulative boss? I like to think my instincts regarding people are fairly spot on. Sure, I sometimes get the wrong impression, instantly disliking a person then later realizing I was in fact being a total jackass and they are in fact quite likable. But my assessment of my boss was right on target from the start. I instantly disliked him and that has never changed. He has to be the most superficial person I have ever met. It's something in his eyes I think, I can always tell when he's lying through his goddamn teeth, which is most of the time. His body language is telling too. Everything is kept close at bay. There's no genuine warmth, only cold unhappiness. He seems completely incapable of any kind of real empathy. How does that happen in a person? I've bonded with my all my other coworkers over at least one thing but nothing with him. He does not bond. Most of the time he acts like an overgrown child, blaming others for his own problems.
What bothers me is that our guests seem completely unaware of this. I like to think that the reason I have been so successful as a sales person is because I am genuine. I don't bullshit with people. In general, people are able to sense whether you are being genuine with them or not and if you are not, you do not increase the sale, or get one at all. But with him, guests never notice the superficial demeanor, or how calculated all his compliments are. They fucking love him. Is it because he's a man and the majority of our guests are women, and they are more inclined to trust a man's advice, regardless of how superficial a person he may be? Eh, maybe I'm over thinking this. Yeah, I should probably go to bed.
