@5gff - With the way things are going at SHLD I suspect that the "big dogs" got neutered.
OP here, the big dogs canceled!
Same in our store. Nothing about helping us with stocking or fixing registers, leaking roofs, cracked or missing floor tile, dirty or torn carpet. But we get written up for not having some shelf in the backroom labled or some board not having the correct paperwork. Priorities seem to be lacking in this company. Are we in business to serve customers and make money or fill some paperwork out and keep some ancient process up to date?
2lyq- the do act like they are a higher class if humans than the grunts working their butts off!
@2lyq "A POTUS visit would be less trouble."
Nah, that would mean Secret Service snipers on the roof and a media circus following him around.
It would be funny if POTUS actually visited a Sears store. He loves to brag about fake 'jobs saved' that quickly revert to being jobs lost after the media moves on.
Whenever the district manager visits our store, it is a huge production getting the store ready and every single duck in a row. A POTUS visit would be less trouble. When the Queen arrives (or, for some of you, it might be a King), we aren't even acknowledged. The DM thinks she's holier than thou. While she walks around with a manager, complaints are rattled off. Never a compliment.
I'll never forget the meltdown she had during the reindeer run about a missing faceplate on one of the registers. She was worried about customers seeing it. The store manager asked several times for it to be replaced, yet nobody responded. The part likely isn't even available. So, we took a functional register out of our department. Now, on busier days, we all have to compete over two registers to ring sales. The closing stores near us had registers but she wouldn't give us one to replace the one she condemned over aesthetics.
I have this I'd like to say. Come on, you work at a dying company. Get off your high horse. You showed up to the store in a Ford Fusion, big shot. I drive a better car than you. I will also make more than you (by at least $20-40k) once I'm done with my undergraduate studies. Get over yourself.
Maybe they called off the visit due to being swallowed up in a pot hole in michigan!
Dave Shakespeare probably ate him.
I guess we should assume since the OP hasn't reported back in 24 hours that they've been erased from the face of the earth. Be warned if corporate types are coming to your store!
Well?
Eddie?
Don't they come by every once in awhile? They do at my store.
Pack your bags. You're out of a job.
