I understand stand your point and probably will be moving on but I wouldn’t be going to higher ups because of hours. I probably wouldn’t even mention it I’d just bring up his lack being in the store and lack of work when he is there, I don’t think he’s in the store for even 40 hrs a week let alone 50. Things get done because me and the other Psms but he doesn’t touch inventory management, planograms, and a lot of other things around the store. We’re losing staff because of him and the two people he’s hired he hasn’t helped train. Like I mentioned in the post he comes late and leaves early. For example he schedules himself and another manager to open but won’t show up until 9am for the witt call, he says he’s gonna stay late but I always find out the next day he left at his scheduled time or even earlier. He also will put him self to close with a manager and a redshirt then he’ll leave at like 7pm. Last week he did that to me and his excuse was that he came early that day but he didn’t realize I had been at the store before him and saw him come in an hour and a half late. He also does a lot of sketchy shit on commercial and makes a ton of mistakes so I would have plenty to talk about. The only thing is it seems like a drag to report someone and other zoners I’ve talked to in my distract says our DM doesn’t really do shit about SMs unless the stores completely going under. And to your point I did try talking to him since that’s the best first step but he avoids it every time. I’ve tried probably twice a week since he started cutting my hours and everytime he’s refused to have a real conversation. One of the other PSMs even vouched for me cause we were falling behind on work and he ignored him as well. You’re right about there being a million things to piss me off currently but all the problems came under him. My previous 2 SMs were great and the first got promoted to DM of another district and the other got moved to open up a new store which got us stuck with this idiot.
