I’m transferring to a different location that will be better for my schedule and more convenient. I’ve been really excited about it, and tomorrow is my last shift of my two weeks’ notice. But my SM called me yesterday to try and convince me to stay, going on about how much they need me there. Okay, I get it… But then she started saying things that the SM of my new store told her, that didn’t seem true. He seems like a nice guy, always really professional. She made it seem like he doesn’t even want me there, and said I basically begged him for the job. Um, no lol. By the end of the conversation I i felt like a traitor for transferring and that I’m letting my store down. I’ve been second-guessing my decision ever since. I’m sure she’s trying to make the other SM and store look bad and make me feel shitty so I’ll stay. This isn’t the first time she’s said something that seemed untrue, and she has a habit of blaming other partners when she messes up. I know I should say “good riddance” but as a recovering people pleaser it’s keeping me up at night. Beneath the anxiety I still feel good about my decision to transfer, but I’m so stressed to see her during my shift. Any advice or good vibes would be appreciated 😩

I should add that I tried to make the switch back in October, but SM convinced me to stay through the holidays. We had (what I thought was) a firm agreement that I wouldn’t work past NYE. But here we are 🙃
