Sorry to hear this Carol.  Maybe they'll realize what a mistake they have
made.
I can't understand why some managers have to be such assholes.  I think they
get on a power trip and don't know how to get off.  When I was a retail
manager, I loved those employees who loved their jobs and would do anything
I could to keep them.
