What's the current workplace beef? 4 of my leaders are brand new to management, 3 of which to their department and my meat team leader has been gone for 8 weeks and is gone for another 5 still.

Admittedly some of it is brought on by me because I got rid of my grocery team leader and bakery team leader because they didn’t agree with my philosophy and werent willing to compromise. My old produce team leader had been in management for nearly 15 years and wanted to work closer to his home, they had previously stopped him for transferring for the last 5 years or so before I took over. I let him transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a LOT of long hard days and to top it off I’ve had to learn about produce meat deli and bakery departments myself. We use to have a fresh Lines Leader and foods line leader but they got rid of the fresh Lines position in April. I was the foods line but I was only responsible for grocery, dairy, frozen and receiving. When they got rid of the fresh Lines, I got all of it.

Hockey5djh Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yea, might have been some long nights but it's probably saving you a lot of aggravation. Angeling for a GM spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeling for a GM spot? Part of me wants to because it’d be a hell of a lot less stress but I want to continue moving up in my career. It’s hard to be in the spot light on the GM side. If I move laterally it’ll be to service as that’s the next area I need to learn to move up to store director. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
