Job Shift - What's Next?

I just received word, that my store will be closing. Just a few short months after I was transfered to be the lead shift supervisor they have announced they will be closing the store.

All employees will have positions they are promising. It is unknown where all the employees will land. Especially those of us that are in management. For someone like me, that would be third in charge in a larger store, but am second in charge in my current store, it could be more difficult to place. My store manager, will be reduced to assistant manager at whatever store she ends up,

For me, looking at past situations, whatever store I end up, I will be added on as an extra shift supervisor. For example if I return to the store I was transfered out of, they have two shift supervisors and 2 overnight managers (which are the same rank, on paper as shift supervisors), I would be a third supervisor.

I could even be forced to retake the reigns of the overnight crew. Something I really don't want to do, but it could happen.

At this point, I don't know what where I will end up. I have my vacation on the calendar for the week after next. Which means I would have one week left before the store closes, when I get back.

This may mean I will have to change my vacation time also. I still have to get my 1 week and 1 day of vacation time taken before the holidays. However, I may have to reduce my vacation to say 2 or 3-days at the planned time and then take the rest after my latest transfer.

I was expecting this, but it is still disheartening. This is the store I started in back in 1990 and again when I returned to Topeka in 1999. Over all, this is the fourth assignment I have held in this store. My foster parents shop in this store and don't like any of the bigger stores that have popped up a couple of miles away from us (this store). So it is kind of disappointing that I will again be moving and will never see this particular store again.
