/Rant
Starting to get fed up with my stores culture.
We're now sitting at 6 primary electronic team members. Two of us do all the work.
One is 15-30 minutes late every day for the last year.
One is newer, and is late every single day
One just doesn't care at all
The last one is kinda eh, he's super new and he'll grow.
The one who has been late every single day I don't understand how he still has a job. He literally isn't on time for an opening, mid, or closing shift...ever. Our store refuses to fire anyone unless something egregious happens (Is this a target thing or am I stuck with numero uno stupid target?)
None of the other four do any process that they are supposed to. Turning tv's on, phone inventory, etc. Leads have been spoken to on multiple occasions over the last year and still every single one of these team members doesn't do their job.
AP practices aren't being upheld at all. Spiderwraps on products that need it, things locked up the way they are supposed to be (including ignore the plano when something is a security risk.
Everything in the store that regards tech is done halfassed when it's not done or directed by me. When my specialty sales lead gets involved, it actively becomes worse. I've never met a lead more unfit for the job than the one they threw in when specialty sales became a thing. They ignore our department and almost never come over unless the STL tells them to get involved, and then they make decisions for the sake of making decisions. They cause more security issues than anything and ruin pogs just for the sake of saying they did something. They don't make any educated decisions whatsoever, and I've spoken to two different ETL's over the past couple years on the matter.
Our current ETL has no business making decisions either, I'm not even sure how they've managed to get the job when they also seem completely oblivious to brand practices, especially since they were a specialty sales etl prior to us.
2020 has been the worst year to date, with or without Covid, just simply due to the leadership having completely given up. I've been with the company for nearly a decade now, and these kids who have been there a year make the same pay as me and do absolutely no damn work and no amount of talking to anyone (including the STL) seems to do anything. I get stuck in this back and forth of other leads telling me that it's not their team members, my TL ignoring the complaints, and the ETL/STL just telling me that it's up to my TL.
What the hell am I supposed to do? Grin and bear it? Quit? It's literally unbearable that I am LITERALLY the only person leading my department even though I am just a regular tech plus mobile team member. I spend more time undoing the damage of my leaders than anything (including them removing pogs I set in favour of something else, only to have them put that pog back on my list...). Store plano is on the decline since the invention of DBO's, and I refuse to let that crap run into my department when we damn well know how to do our job.
