Hi guys, I'm mostly a lurker around the boards, but I have some feelings I need to get off my chest, and I feel as you all are the only ones who would understand.
I've been at Target for about 9 months, and I'm a shoe brand TM. At first, I enjoyed it and got a ton of compliments on all the improvements I made and how great of a job I was doing holding shoes together (which was previously a disaster area for our store.) However, lately I have been feeling extremely unhappy and burned out. I feel as though my night time zoners don't care, flow team shoves shoes anywhere despite me complaining numerous times, and I am expected to do too much without enough time. I constantly have to do redo other people's work and have no time to do my own. It stresses me out and I feel as though I am likely to quit any time now. I take my job seriously and always strive to make my department look great, but with my abysmal pay and all the responsibilities in the world, everything is getting to me lately. From the slobs that we call guests, my lack of time, lack of help from anyone-- I just feel as if I can't do it anymore. I don't think it's fair to myself, and I have medical issues (that get bad with stress) that have been acting up insanely for the past few weeks now. If absolutely necessary to stress myself out this way, I think I could at least be working somewhere that doesn't pay an insulting wage.
Any other TMs feel this way? And what did you do to get over the feelings, or get through the days? Or is my resignation date only a matter of time?
