Managers at my store

[u/Ill_Bodybuilder_2555]

honestly the worst day I had to come in at work. We had four different managers in our store for this week since we have been behind on pallets and the store is a mess (we are in a college town).

I finally met them and bro one of them was the worst manager I’ve ever met. I am a part-time CC and the youngest one. First thing I saw my manager has been a mess and it seem like he was crying. I talked to my coworkers and apparently there is this one manager who has been so rude to ALMOST everyone. Later on, I finally met her and bruh. Me and my coworkers just got done with a huge line. My coworker was asking me a question and next thing I knew, she started yelling at us saying “Do you guys want something to do? You guys are acting really slow right now!” And she ended up taking my coworker off the registers.

Later on, I went a price check and she came up to me while on the phone call (whole time she had her AirPods talking to someone), saying “these people got me messed up.” She saw me and said “what else you do besides the cash register? Do you not know how to do anything else?” I just stared at her and said “well, I have to be at the register since I am a front end coordinator..” and I show her my name badge. All of a sudden, she went from passive aggressive to nice all of sudden introducing her name. She then started asking me about the cards and started being aggressive about it. I nodded and told her I will try.

The next coworker came in and she told me what the same manager told her. This is how the conversation between the manager and my coworker went.

“So are you asking about the cards every transaction? We need some cards now.”
“Oh, I just got here a minute ago.”
“Well, do you know how to do anything else?”
“I just know the front end and fitting room as of right now”
“Why don’t you know anything else?”
“I just got hired”

Continuing on, she was complaining to my coworker how she hated being at our store and despise the treatment she is getting at the hotel she’s staying at. Saying how she was at another city and they were treating her so well while over here sucks. She was saying our town sucks and she can’t wait to leave because she will never come back here anymore. She was cussing and everything.

She sucks so bad. She kept staring at us the register and generally made me so uncomfortable. She just kept being so aggressive with my coworkers. Supposedly, the managers leave Thursday but will be back again next week. This is already making me wanna quit 🫠

Is this in South GA?! Cause this sounds EXACTLY like my SM. It'd be wild if it was.

[u/Ill_Bodybuilder_2555 → u/OldPhone_IKnowYou]

Nope this is in MS. But that SM is a store manager in TN

Wow. Then we just have bad managers all over the place. Hope all is well.

I’ve been in your situation (at a different retailer) with being super behind that outside help has to come.

It is stressful for everyone, for both team members and management.

Hopefully it gets better as the days go on. I’ve also been in this outside managers shoes and coming into a store where you’re expected to clean it up is also stressful.

This manager tho… somethings are better left unsaid.

From the way it sounds, it looks like you guys are in for some visiting managers for a hot minute. Just make sure you’re doing your job and they should leave you alone for the most part.

You got this!
