ny other Ops Managers out there who now have the new OAPM job finding it challenging to try to do the work of what had been two people previously? I heard that all of the other executives that moved into the new role got a raise, but none of the OPS people did. We didn't even get an option to take a severance package, just told that we now have to catch shoplifters and do all of the AP job too.
My store is only planned for one detective and the job has been open for months, that means that I am the only AP person in the store. I don't even know if it is legal to pay me as an exempt manager when I have to do all of the detectives work and then do all of the OPS work in the store. Between audits, floor walks, bag checks, watching monitors, and having to help the support team with all their workload thanks to the huge staffing cuts, I really spend the majority of my time doing tasks and not supervising people.
Add to this that my new boss expects me to complete all of my AP training at home on nights and weekends so I can start making apprehensions, and I am working 70+ hours a week for the same pay. Does anyone know if this is legal? The old HR person who was let go last month tells me that based on the new expectations of the job, I should be paid OT since I don't really qualify as an exempt manage anymore.
