Hey everyone. I work hardlines, and seem to be well liked in terms of work ethic by virtually everyone I work with, TM or higher. Not to gloat or anything. I won't even say I'm a "great" worker, but I simply try to work quickly and efficiently, drive sales, help out where I can, do what I am asked, etc etc. Obviously it's nothing to write home about, but in my store where we have a lot of people who simply don't care, I guess I look better by comparison. But I digress.
Here's my dilemma. Every LOD I work with has no apparent problems with me, compliments my zone, etc etc. We go in, we work, that's it. The TL in market even requests me to do it when I'm there, for some reason. I get called in a lot, get more hours, etc etc. So I thought I was coming together as an employee. But one LOD never stops at getting on me. About two weeks ago, she criticized the way I zone, said it was terrible, and I need to step up. The zone was exactly the same as it always is when I work (give or take), and I have never heard any complaints before. But it gets stranger.
I think this LOD is either just screwing with me, or legitimately is trying to sabotage me. A few weeks ago for ad takedown, I got stuck with the two most ad filtered sections of our store (non softlines). I am still new to the store in general and still have trouble doing well with ad takedown, so I requested help from her. Not only did she not help, but she went to go help another team member who had two of the easiest sections, and has been there longer and has more experience. So at the end of the night when I was struggling immensely, she got on my case and said I need to go faster and work harder.
Whenever we work together, she gives me arbitrary directions, like "go to B13 and zone that section from there". She'll then go to, say, B7 about twenty or thirty minutes later and ask why it's not zoned well. One night, she told me I focus on go backs too much, and only get them once or twice during my shift. The next night, she got irritated when I had too many go backs.
On a personal level, she doesn't even say hi or try to be friendly. Multiple times, I will say hi or wave to her when I come in or such, and she ignores me. When I came in yesterday, she made a remark about how my zone looked from yesterday. I then asked the TL who was in my zone after me, and they said it looked very good and they were happy with the zone. I was confused.
I understand that the LOD is in charge and makes decisions, which is why I listen, but I feel like she's trying to tread me around so that she has evidence against me or something. I don't want to go to HR and start drama, but I really don't know what to do, since it only seems to be getting worse. Help?
Thanks.
