No communication between our DM,s stores, D.M. constantly told lies to each store, Felt i could,nt get a straight answer to my employee rights. Employee handbook was,nt clear on many issues, Was told i could,nt actually use my sick days, If you were sick there was no one to cover for you. Some days you needed a personal day. At managers meetings, Everyone always looked unhappy, Like they were broken down, beaten by the company, But still stayed. Major negatism throughout the whole company, T.M. was very unrespectful and condescending, Like he was on a power trip, Out to destroy the souls of the hard working and dedicated Store managers. I,m sure the S.M.s did,nt start out that way! Being beaten down for tiny mistakes, such as a shelf 1 notch down, etc. Was ridiculous, Instead higher ups should have focused on the bigger picture, Were your sales up, Customer counts up? It was extremely demeaning. Just by each store working as a team,sharing information, tips that work, Empowering your staff instead of tearing them down. Insecure higher ups were threatened by that type of employee. Everyone matters and we all make a difference when treated with respect, In return you get respect.
