so lately, there have been some major issues at the store. and by lately, i mean well before christmas. well, some of the associates have recently discovered that everyone feels the same way, as do two of the three managers. michelle, the general manager, has been managing the store poorly and has been very inprofessional towards many of the employees.
to make a long story short, and to leave all all of the details, recently, a few of the associates met at someone's house to discuss these issues. one had been contacted by our regional manager about how we should proceed with matters, and how to be most effective. they compiled a list of complaints and made an outline of sorts. there were 5 major area of complaints, and in addition to these, there were examples giving showing the validity of the complaint along with suggestions on how to fix the problem. in all, the memo ended up being about 6 pages long - my mom wrote the finished copy and i just read it. copies are being made for everyone after a meeting with a select few associates, and people can sign it if they agree.
i have been asked not to sign it even though i have been affected by the poor management simply because my mother feels it would be more effective if only signed by people who were current employees. i'm sorry, but i was under the impression that i was a current employee. i got up at 6 yesterday morning to do a visual turn at 7. i still get a paycheck from them, and my card still works.
i guess i'm just hurt and offended that my efforts aren't viewed as everyone else's. my opinions obviously don't matter. i worked hard for that job and have been employed just as long as she has. she didn't get tha job for me. we both interviewed for it and have worked hard to keep it. they wouldn't keep asking me to come back if i wasn't a good employee, and frankly, it just bothers me that it appears some are resentful of that.
