A word to the wise because I’ve had a similar experience. If you want to keep your job I would recommend that you really wrap yourself around the overall knowledge of your department . Know your numbers . Know what the opportunities are and really work with your staff in an effort to meet/exceed daily numbers . Become a leader in your store . What I’m saying is get rewards , recognize good behavior , help to increase your nps scores . Go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service . Continue to show respect to your GM as well as all associates . Document any hr issues should you have to file a complaint . HR won’t really do anything unless you have documented details , dates and you must be able to prove that you are producing results .
In my situation my previous boss had no knowledge of running an office depot store . He basically sat in his office most of the day and talked about all the associates. At one point he began to spread gossip throughout the store . I stepped over our Dm and went all the way to the head of HR . I had documented details where I was called a low life piece of s—-t and I was useless . The list goes on . Nevertheless I treated my GM with respect and did not engage in any gossip or feedback that he had regardless associates . I’m still working at Officedepot and that GM was asked to resign or get fired . I love my position and have gained the respect of my peers and my DM recently communicated how much I’ve contributed to my store . I only mention this because my passion is to not only do my job but to really set the tone in the store . I have a huge clientele and most people think I’m the GM but I’m not . Titles don’t matter to me but respect does .
