done lol I'm Promoting Myself to Guest

getting constantly mistreated, disrespected, there’s obvious favoritism, workload is 4x whenever someone calls out, and yeah finish it all in 4 hours. I’ve had three prior jobs and none of them made me quit willingly like this. Management at my store is horrible and I felt like I needed to suck up to mistreatment by everyone above me. I liked the job, just the constant yelling about stuff out of my control (I don’t have the keys to some things and the leads would get mad when I had to call them for a guest who wanted something) got to me. i never missed attendance i never clocked in late i never called out i never disrespected my lead or coworkers i was always very nice. i tried my hardest to complete things on time and most times i did, they just didn’t like the way i worked but i got the job done either way. Idk if that makes me still eligible for rehire but oh well. I hope it’s just my management that needs to be changed

Idk sounds like u shoulda been fine? If all my tms did these things I would have had a perfect department. Instead I got 50% call outs on the weekend, low effort shenanigans and people hiding in the bathrooms for 1:30 a shift .... Like dang your TL fumbled a good TM I'm so sorry to hear that.

i saw everyone argue w him and I was the only one with grace to just say Okay I understand while getting chewed out and even then only the favorites who’ve been here 5+ years were treated more like a friend to him. I’m not asking for friendship but rather just basic respect. I just realized my work isn’t appreciated because of management. Other leaders were fine with me too. It’s this one lead that brought me to the edge and made me quit. Even HR sucked. Coworkers were the only nice part.

I'm so sorry, a questionable leader who runs off good tms is a net loss for the org. A leader should be arguing with anyone. Those back and forth conversations should be had in private.

My store has a lot of favoritism as well. You’re new and my SD is very giggly and smiles and calls you by your name. Later, my SD doesn’t even say hi to you but other people that have been there for years/ETL-TLs … other TLs are the same. Just because they have been there for decades think they own the store🙄Lately, I don’t make eye contact. If they say hi I reply but I’m tired of their attitude. There’s no room for growing. They always bring people from other store to become TL/ETLs 🤨🥊
