Department managers don't have any say in hiring/ firing staff, that's up to the assistant managers. She was actually really good for the first 8-9 months, and I kinda thought she'd start to lose weight because lifting milk and egg crates all day is an excellent workout, but she's maintaining her ham status. The last 2-3 months she just doesn't do anything. My other minions complain to me about her, and I've brought her up to my manager, and nothing has been done.
