I have lost my will to make things at work better. they are only getting worse, i cant describe how difficult it is to go to work everyday and give it 100%... trying your hardest to reamin positive and still get your ass kicked for things that are not in your control. welcome to management right??? WRONG! i have been in management for a long time and i... in my 8 years with this company have i ever seen it this bad. this is down right fucked. most stores have 4 very important positions. store manager, asst manager, grocery manager, and front end manager. i am in a very high volume store, we have never had a front end manager for what ever reason they will not let us have one. that responsiblity fall on the asst manager... me. so i have had 2 big jobs from day one. ok fine i am stong i can handle it. then the grocery manager leaves us hanging during the holidays so the DM put me in charge of grocery. he does not fire the grocery manager, he just makes me do his job. so now i have 3 of the 4 biggest jobs in the store. good thing im on salrey huh? then the store director goes on vacation for the week. when the store manager is on vacation guess who does his job??? thats right me. so now i have the 4 toughest jobs in the store. each manager puts in 50+ hours a week. do the math thats 200 hours. now there are 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week so if my math is correct there is only 168 hours in a week. tell me how i am supposed to get everything done even when my loads dont show up at night when there are supposed to, they show up the next day when the freight crew have already gonw home.
and the icing on the cake... the VP of smiths came in yesterday and walked the store... then he calls the DM and tells him that the store looked like shit and that i dont seem to care because i was not taking notes. now the DM and the staff are flying in tomorrow to walk the store and decide my future with the company. not good since they are already pissed even if the store was perfect it would not be enough. but i know the store will not be perfect because i seem to be one of the few that care. and a few is just not enough.. i am toast!
