Freedom, But One Last Rant!
You Guys!!! I’M FREEEEEEE, but One Last Rant!
FAIR WARNING, LONG RANT AHEAD!
So I resigned from my store a while ago and boy do I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders! My store is only the way it is because of the store manager giving it the bad reputation that it has. Now I see why employees always leave! Haha makes a lot of sense! Anyways……., the management there needs a-lot of help, instead of managing, they bark out orders and expect the BA’s to just bow down and follow said orders. The micromanagement is another thing, that to the leaders is “staying curious”. Last I checked you’re just trying to use “staying curious” as an excuse to micromanage. The staff has complained over several times about it but management just brushes it off and keeps doing what they want to do. Luckily I caught on to it early and stood up to management letting them know that I wasn’t putting up with it! Management also needs to learn how to talk to their staff, they talk to the staff like we are just numbers and don’t have feelings at all. Now, the devices, these devices can be a helpful tool if you don’t know what you’re doing and you work at a makeup store. To someone as myself who’s been doing makeup for 12+ years, the device is useless and holds no value to me. It was only helpful to me to see if a product was in stock or to do mobile checkouts, other than that I didn’t like it and refused to scan clients because the scanner was never accurate to begin with! If we don’t use the device and if we did use it, we basically got to the point of management harassing us to use it and basically shoving it down our throats! Like Ummm hello iCare!!! They are always wanting to lead with technology, well for someone like me who’s been in the industry for a long time does not need a device to tell me how to do my job and make me feel like an idiot! Now onto timing! Management expects us to have a full consultation with a client in 10 minutes and get everything they need within that time frame, um news flash that’s impossible! They need to do better! Phew! Felt great to get that off my chest! Would I recommend anyone work at that store? Haha Strong negative! Would never! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
