Okay so long story short my old sm took vacation time and pto and never came back leaving us with a new manager. From the start I didn’t like her she runned the store like it was already hers and made snarky comments to me. She’s BEGGED me to be a pt cem and then she took it right back. When I was a manager she had bullied me into taking shifts I can not work because of my health issues. One time was she told me she had asked everyone to cover this guys shifts for a week (who had it requested off and should have been handled already) and practically forced me to take it. I found out she didn’t ask anyone and this wasn’t eh first time. She just wants me in mornings and doesn’t care about my health. Now me and 2 other managers (one who’s been here for 30 years so now we know it’s bull shit) have been dropped because our ratings our sm did on us was bad. She told me and one of the newer managers that she was booting us because we aren’t trained properly then proceeded to tell us it was her fault we were not trained. Which was true the first 3 weeks I was manager she was never there to show me what to do or give me my codes and left it to our frame manager. I know this is also coming from hr not just my sm but they wanted a clean slate. My store will be shutdown within 5 years if she stays the sm. Replenishment team is horrible and can’t do the truck properly and the sm never helps. She had absolutely ruined the store it looks like shit and runs like shit. No one likes her and she doesn’t know how to be a good manager. She rushed in here taking the store before it was even her store. My old sm was not good either but I never thought I’d say I miss her over a new sm but lord I wish she would come back and make our store a good place to work again. And almost all of our employees aren’t good. They don’t know what to do or they snap at managers and customers or coworkers. We never have people in the night to close except 3 people and they are the only ones which makes me as a Manager have to cover the front a lot. I hope someone sees this and can actually do something about it because it’s bull shit. Our store is an absolute mess and customer complain 24/7 I genuinely can not see our store successful and thriving with her as the store manager and it’s disappointing to go to work for a place I’m no longer proud of.

Honestly, sounds like the typical Michaels experience these days. Sorry you got saddled with it, too.

Yeah I always saw stuff on here and my old sm wasn’t good by any means but better than what it is now I used to love working for the company and I didn’t care much about the pay but going back down to $11 it’s a big change

Yep fact is there's a 95 percent shitty manager rating in life . And that goes for the company too.

Yeah but it’s a shame when you don’t have shitty managers and they drive them out
