Just wanted to vent. I’ve been in a management position for the past 7 years and just recently took an entry level in retail. I am two weeks in.
The PIC(lead) has been on a high horse since doing computer training and cracking whips left and right, down talking employees for amusement rather than constructive criticism.
Needless to say it’s a joke, but today is the first time he’s been on the floor in 4 days due to avoiding an expensive issue that arose with a customer.
Not even ten minutes being back, he’s ranting on how he has no support due to not being able to find a simple object we use daily. He went on and on how he was going to fire someone he doesn’t care yada yada yada.
It’s not much, but he actually does not have the authority to fire people. Adding to that, he argued with a senior employee because he told him we have no staff how are you going to fire people, to which he responded I gotta do what I gotta do.
He’s arrogant, 29 and full of ego with no work ethics who was given the position as a favor ( word from his superior).
I can go on, but I’m too tired to pay anymore mind. It’s just a check at this point.
