Just a minor rant coming through.
Use to work for PetSmart and our store manager was super shitty. He would micro manage everything, to the point he’s checking security camera footage of how we worked and if we were slacking off. Many coworkers would opt in working late shifts just to not work when he’d work.
Our membership to get deals we offered to customers is called PetPerks, which just consisted a phone number back then. The company began a email capture assignment were we have to ask the customers if they want to add their email to their PetPerks at register. Of course it was tracked and the company made it into a competition amongst the stores in each district. This was the most toxic my store a manger got. If our email capture percentage was low for the week, he’ll be in a bad mood and take it out on us.
Our store eventually won the competition, the store manager got a fat bonus check.
What we get? YUP, A PIZZA PARTY
All that manipulation we went thru for this.
And other departments in our store (Grooming,Stockers) that weren’t involved in the email capture ate majority of the food.
Felt so relieved the day he got transferred to another store.
