The other night after closing, the M.O.D. (manager on duty) called a team huddle.
"Now guys, I know that Spring has sprung, love is in the air, and y'all are dating and what not. Lots of talking is going on about who is getting some, who's not getting enough, and who's getting too much.....We had a situation where a customer overheard two team members criticizing a female associate for her attitude and her social activities, so to speak, or whatever....Guys, we need to be careful."
"We don't know what's really going on with each other, we don't know the kinds of things each of us has to deal with on a daily basis, so don't be judgemental of each other. We're supposed to be a team here....and if you just HAVE to discuss confidential things, for heaven's sake look around the corner and see who's there, for crying out loud. We can get into a lot of trouble over the things we say, so watch it."
People laughed when she talked about team members getting some. I was tempted to pipe up and say that they would be surprised to know who's getting what, from what I've been hearing, but I decided that discretion was the better part of valor.....
