Alrighty, rebumping this old thing since I learned of a load of crap going on in my store, shared it in chat, and
@commiecorvus said it was the AE14 deadline coming up so I figured I'd share.
Alrighty, so my store currently has STL, ETL-HR (who just left), ETL-Sales Floor, ETL-AP, ETL-Rx, ETL-4AM flow people I don't know his official title, and ETL-GE.
We have 2 Senior TLs (One from hardlines, one GSTL).
1 Market TL, 1 hardlines TL, 1 softlines TL, one or two GSTLs, 1 Food Ave TL, 1 Presentation TL, and no backroom TL.
From what I heard from a reliable source, ETL-HR was recently told to quit or be fired due to a lot of crap going on under her watch. Loads of paperwork not getting done, stuff such as an electronic TM getting fired by the hardlines TL who wasn't even scheduled that day and not on the clock, completely failing to listen to complaints about the softlines TL, and doing nothing to stop the extremely annoying management "buddy" thing that they have, where they all sit in TSC and chat and laugh and not actually do anything on the salesfloor.
My source also told me that there's plans for a massive house-cleaning, which I'm kind of looking forward to. My store's management sucks.
- The presentation TL used to spend the first half of her shift doing nothing in the office, while the team did their stuff. Then she'd come out halfway through her shift, do work, and since she was never there to make sure they were on task, they'd never finish on time and she'd stay late, racking up overtime. She was friends with ETL-HR who I guess looked the other way. I recall numerous times seeing her still working four hours past her scheduled shift.
- SrTL of hardlines is just ineffective with making sure people doing their job.
- The other hardlines TL is disliked by many because he thinks he's an ETL. He has this annoying attitude and has rubbed many people the wrong way. He also fired someone off the clock, which
- The softlines TL is rumored to have gotten her job only because she's good friends with the former ETL-HR, which I fully believe. Every time one of them comes in, they call the other on the walkie and just hang out together.
- The GSTLs are ineffective with managing anything whatsoever. They let the cashiers go on break whenever they want, leaving one or two cashiers overall at peak times. They do nothing to stop this.
- ETL-AP has pretty much made it impossible to stop walk-outs unless their was absolute proof that they had stolen something that they had checked on the cameras beforehand and called the police, at which point the walk-out had already happened.
- The STL is known in the district as a store-fixer, but she's fairly ineffective at my store because she's consistently doing work at other stores.
- ETL-GE is just...I don't know what to say.
Basically if the cleaning house happens, my source thinks that all ETLs except for ETL-Sales Floor (since he's doing a lot to actually fix the store, and he was just promoted) and probably ETL-4AM flow people I don't know his official title would be kicked out. He also thinks all TLs except Market and Food Ave would be kicked out.
It's quite an interesting road my store is going down.
