The DM is small but terrible!

I'd been with RGIS for almost two months but I haven't met the District Manager assigned. Auditors don't normally go to the district office to work. Auditors go directly to store they are assigned to and meet there for the inventory. I was told that my District Manger was vertically-challenged as well as behaviorally-challenged as well. In short, he would be the guy that I won't even bother to meet for the rest of my life.

It was early part of Februay 2004. I was scheduled to do a warehouse inventory in Kent at 6am. I arrived at around 5:45am for that store. It was a typical average size clothing store. I went directly to the set up room located at one of the backrooms. In a moment, more auditors start coming in.

It was exactly 6am when an RGIS manager instructed all auditors to go to the salesfloor for a short breafing . He looked somewhat presentable with his long sleeve and a tie and I haven't seen this guy before. He was about 5'2", and 110 lb. His appearance exactly matched with the description that some auditors told me about how the District Manager looked like.

Then he began his speech. "Listen up folks, accuracy is our primary concern! that is the reason why we are chosen to conduct the inventory and not some other bunch of monkeys out there. We expect you to be accurate. No excuses. Anybody caught batching is fired. I don't want to hear anybody talking to each other because that interferes your accuracy. Anybody caught talking will be sent home."

This guy needed robots instead, that do not talk, that do not decide on their own to perform for his inventories. Not me.

Maybe he needed this:
