Since I piggybacked onto this thread, I had a very frank conversation with my Leader. Agreed to step up temporarily to help through a Q4 crisis (which I don't mind doing, honestly). I told him about my issues with the position at the other store. I told him if they expected me to agree to continue come January that there were gaps in my training/development I expected to have filled--then handed over a copy of the list. (The original lives in my Dropbox.) One of my questions was, "Where do we go from here?" aka, I will not be stuck in that position forever. So next convo is with STL re: the bench.
Bottom line, my primary gig is taking an economic hit. I drive cars into the ground, and mine is nearing it. At the end of the day, I need the cash now,. Here was an opportunity, now. The dream job? No, but the bills don't care. This is why I avoid the word "never."
My point: I told my Leader out of the gate I was going to be completely transparent, even if that meant being completely blunt. I know how to use business-speak, and did so, but he also knew I meant business when we walked out of that office.
Whatever you decide, @Amaylyn, be up front and stand your ground.

I just don’t understand this. I wouldn’t be a GSTL right now if back when I was a GSA I was offered no pay raise. I was an underpaid GSTL for a long ass time as it is..
What’s even more funny is that TL base pay went up by a dollar so spot is making the rich, richer and the poor... poorer.
I sat down with my GSTL and explained what was happening. She insists she needs me, and I can't say no to her (she's adorable), so we compromised on short GSA shifts ONLY if absolutely necessary and I'll cover/support during the busiest times. I'm just happy it won't go any further after Christmas and I can go back to working the registers.
Y'all. A GSA called out this morning so I had to hold down the fort from 10a-5p when the next GSA got out of the CO (I can't do cash office because, once again, I'm just a cashier). Someone made one of my new cashiers cry... and it absolutely broke my heart.
One real GSA and two LODs are well-known Yes-Men here... especially if the guest is a young, pretty female.

I love denying young, pretty females stuff. It's like being a traffic cop and you make it a point to give the "I swear I wasn't speeding, officer" girls all kinds of tickets.One real GSA and two LODs are well-known Yes-Men here... especially if the guest is a young, pretty female.

I wrote about that on the main sites group chat... I swear to god, females get treated better than males.
Yes, because they can continue to schedule you as GSA because it falls completely within the new modernization rules!!!
