Virtually Nothing that justifies their pay grade. Yes "M" , you are right : in other retail setups they have to pull their weight many times over. But here these light weights cannot pull even their own dead weights. These Glorified clerks cannot even do minimal clerical functions. They are abysmal failures with people, projects, processes, policies and very definitely with making money for the store- And customers one on one : zero Intrapersonal or interpersonal skills! Which truth be told is what T is all about. Simply : They cannot perform tasks -cannot execute. Period. They are hired by level above the store to help the store director. In turn he/she has them to blame for they lack of any capacity...any wherewithal. They have no intrinsic or extrinsic capacity. What can you expect of poor achievers that they are modeling themselves after other poor achievers in their lives. Result: They drain they place from what it could do .
This is a position that by its poor hiring standards is set up to fail. And it does and will …...….Until the model as M says is brought into effect ** where they are required to perform as in other retail business models.
T is young …...…......….but this ETL position in it present state of Poor functioning is already an anachronism.
You might say T is very successful. Hogwash ! It is like saying a Millionaire is rich ......In relation to what ?.. A Pauper. The day of Millionaires being rich is history***.
Not until Mega Millions...A Billionaine at least . Any Company that is complacent with it belief that "enough is good" will be a has been.
ETLs are the Flipside of Excellence that is otherwise what is required of them.
Enough said
** In some Pilot Stores where they (should be, if Not already ) asked to perform incrementally as Leaders or managers in other retail business do at first and the effort fleshed out to fulfill a Full functioning role …… simple as do or don't and that would separate the men and women from the boys and girls...…… But would that happen and CAN that happen .
Perhaps NOT . The reason lies in T hiring a low functioning milieu as that is what they really want with the Low low pay and compensation. "All the better my Dear, to keep you under my wing " says the Big red hen .
*** A once household name Eastman Kodak is a has been . No body under 30, Okay 20 , would even know of their name .( what , after more than a hundred years?!) They lost the Imaging 'space'.
If you cannot move forward you are left behind ….The Big Bulls eye gets smaller and smaller in ones vision.
You don't want that to happen . ( I hope!) . We don't want that to happen. I don't want that to happen ( I know !). Providence may be the Answer. And I believe in Providence . Lets hope........And the Answer my friend is in Making It happen. I hope for T that the powers that are (or be) Make it happen.. But pulling their heads out of the sand ...................... And the ostrich lives .................Can even even strut , dance and thrive ( yeah, multiply ! )
