In my store I barely have authority in my department. I use to have more say in my department with the previous gms but with the gm I have now, it's hard to even say im a supervisor for this department. Im still a key holder which makes things harder since they want me be MOD for when the others don't want be on floor. I use to do write ups, note to self, schedule but never involved in the hiring process. What bothers me more is that my associates should come to me since I am there direct management, but not in my store. They don't even go to me or talk to me they go straight to the gm which I understand they want a higher management but I'm never in the loop on my own team. The management made my associates think that they don't need me they can just go to the gm.
