Retail Manager self reflecting advice
See my last post in here for background. Does anyone have any advice / experience on how to create a friendlier environment for employees? Obviously I am talking individually to everyone on my team to see how I can better myself. But I am looking to see if anyone here as experiences in changing their management style? Or has observed a manager or boss change their style for the better.
I read the job ads and make it sound like you’re a slave to the company. I just discovered that they are using the phrases “ fault finders “ and “ clock watchers. “ Wtf? Are they just making up terms now? They just want someone who bows to them and they are always for the lowest paying jobs too where they have the highest fucking attitudes. When I look at more high paying STEM Jobs or finance ones on the corporate website they seem to be more professionally written
When I accepted my job, gas was around $2.00. I’m making 50k in the city and can’t afford it without my parents help anymore. Obviously it isn’t just gas that’s contributing to it but it does affect everything. Companies are not required to pay out but shouldn’t we pressure them? I went to my boss yesterday and told him if he could give me a little bit of commute money it would be so helpful considering half the office is allowed to wfh. He said that the company was really traditional and wouldn’t normally do that but he would ask for me. Haven’t heard back. What’s your thoughts? How do we come up with a solution.

You grit your teeth, and pretend to be tough while worrying about every fucking little thing that can go wrong ruining it, yearning for a break, some moments of peace, etc. Personally, I resonate with this so hard. Particularly an early line, “I'm pretty sure I'm worthless, if I can't be of service” – *horrific* life experiences have tied my self worth to performance (Hindered by the world at every step to this day!) and the value others give me, which is…obviously, extremely harmful. The middle hits hard too, with all the “What if I can't perform?” lines and vibes. Fucking terrified of that. I don't want to be the anchor that drags my loved one down with me… Even if you disagree, it's a spectacular bit and…
I work at a restaurant and last night I had an emergency come up with family so I called in several hours before as required. When I talked to my manager all she said was she couldn't afford to be short during spring break(it's not even spring break yet here), to get my shift covered and call her to let her know who's coming in for me. Then she hung up on me. We had 2 extra servers scheduled just in case people call in, so me calling in does not leave them short staffed at all unless 2 others called in as well. And most of the employees were already scheduled, so nobody was able to come in to fill in for me. Since I called in and couldn't go in I didn't. Then this morning I show up to work and a different manager asked me why I…
