So I’m what they call go to girl and everywhere girl. Just now hitting my year anniversary and I’ve been crossed trained on every department. I’m who they call when someone calls out. I don’t have a department and I think they keep that under the radar because of modernization. I’m labeled under General Merch, but I float to any department except for Beauty.
My STL set me up to do anything she needed done when I first started and it’s great I love helping my ETLs wherever they need me. My store now no longer has a Store leader though, she left because of health issues.
I’m starting to feel my responsibilities pile up though and I’m worried I don’t move quick enough to meet expectations. I know the ETLs appreciate me considering I’ve worked 13-16 hour shifts regularly with no warning just to help them get caught up.
BUT lately two ETLs have been asking me, “You doing okay?” Or “How much you got left?” a lot lately. I can’t seem to get all the tasks they want done. I would stay from dawn to dusk to get everything done, but with payroll sometimes that’s just not possible. It’s hard when I’m expected to help Starbucks when they need it and Flexibles when they need it, cover Electronics on top of every other responsibility a DBO has in a shift.
I’m a slow zoner and a slow pusher given the department, so sometimes I find myself wondering if I’m actually doing a good job or not. I love my job. Even wanted to be an ETL someday...I really want to do a good job, but I can’t seem to get it all done.
Yesterday I was working Toys, Seasonal, and Sporting Goods. That’s 10 one for ones, two departments to zone (Toys is a mess and I can’t help but pick up everything stray product that has no location), two departments with full reshop, and then five piled high flats that have repacks. How can I get all of this done? I tried my best, but I can’t help feeling like I have to slack on something just to complete it all. Ended up leaving without a good zone, a repack, and a cart of reshop I had to pass on.
We had a visit and I overheard the ETL and the outsider saying that they needed more people that take pride in their job as they walked my area and my zone was terrible.
Help! I really want to do better, but I can only do so much. I hardly ever even take my fifteens because I’m so concerned I won’t get done.
