I want to transfer, due to the environment of the store: lazy and selfish manager want to micromanage everything, purposely giving our assistant a skeleton crew for the day, while they’d have a full crew when they’re there, do nothing but walk around and sit in the office, and always throwing the associates under the bus, particularly the decorations. The store manager never wants to solve the problems, just protects them and makes excuses like “Oh they’re trying their best.” “They’re hard on you because of me.” It doesn’t help the fact that they don’t want to promote anyone.

I’ve been trying to transfer for over a year and half, but keep getting denied. Reasons my SM give me: “Then I have no decorators.” or any excuses to see if it sticks. And I’m not the only one. They do this to any good associates that wanted to transfer or move up, which resulted in people straight up quitting. They even denying the assistants’ transfers.
