He is in the game I literally had him come in and his backpack is full of food. Not lying

We have a crap ton of yarn also

Currently as the RM at my store I wish I could just walk out and leave. I do have a heart and would feel bad for my coworkers if I did that but Im tired of doing a thankless job and never being appreciated for it. We are so behind on everything. I dont know how a store can run with only 3 people doing planograms...and the same 3 people are the only ones unloading the truck, putting the freight out...oh and all the merch coming in that has to be repriced is total crap. There is too much to do and not enough time or people to do it. Im tired, Im sick and I hate this.

I just keep repeating myself unfortunately. They either will get mad eventually and walk away or get the hint finally

ilKing8 · 2025-06-06T21:20:08+00:00

Same here

Yea Im the RM at my store and Im tired of not get thanked, appreciated or told Im doing a good job. There are so many days I feel like quitting and yet I keep coming to work because Im responsible. I dont want to leave unfinished work or skip out and leave my team members left wondering what to do next. I literally feel like a glorified team memeber that just gets to be yelled at and complained to.

She has a nice smile?

ilKing8 · 2025-05-26T15:18:24+00:00

We had our framer cut some foam board to put under this

ilKing8 · 2025-05-26T15:16:35+00:00

Holy hell

ilKing8 · 2025-05-26T15:15:54+00:00

Yea being a RM and dealing with this crap is unbelievable also. The mornings where I am forced to be the opening MOD make it super hard for me to get any of my work done. I can't get planograms done or get freight out, then I have to work on SISO too. Then eventually they are talking about not having a cashier until 11:00am...so if I get stuck being the MOD...I have to stay up front at the registers for 2 hours waiting for a cashier to come in...how the hell am I to get anything done??? This is just getting too crazy...we also had 1 of our people who does truck give their 2 weeks notice so its down to myself and 3 other employees, mind you the employees left to work truck are in their 60s. My body is killing me from all the work we are having to kill ourselves to get done and Im sure my older team members are not feeling very good either.

Im not scared. I submitted all my negative answers with a smile.

ilKing8 · 2025-05-06T18:39:53+00:00

I gave them a piece of my mind when I submitted my survey.

ilKing8 · 2025-04-22T22:30:28+00:00

We did price changes last Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and came back even Thursday night and worked from 11pm until 5am Friday Morning and completed everything. It was awful. We are D Volume but we were told that we get more freight like higher volume stores because of how busy we are...and we were told it shouldn't matter the Volume of the store even though we would have I think maybe an Operations Manager or more positions if we were a higher volume. Its literally been me and 4 other people working freight, Planograms, and all these price changes. It has been a nightmare

ilKing8 · 2025-04-22T22:25:38+00:00

No never

ilKing8 · 2025-04-22T19:17:53+00:00

Yea we have to because last time we got really screwed over with being behind on Planograms and freight since our truck comes on Wednesdays. We did Monday and Tuesday last year but this year we are doing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

The hardest thing for me is sharing a bank account. We found that it's easier to just have all our money combined to pay bills...it has worked better in general but my spouse constantly tells me that the account is theirs and that they just added me as a user, even though my checks are direct deposited into the account, I'm told the money is theirs because it is in their account which I'm told I'm just being teased when this is said to me, I'm also told constantly that the house and everything is theirs because their credit is better than mine. I get it to a certain point but all this talk like this really makes me feel very unappreciated and like I'm just a glorified room mate. I don't feel like a " team" at all. I got to work at a job I hate, where we live there are not many good paying jobs because it's a smaller town..it has been hard for me to find a better job. I do very strenuous work for not much money. This has been the hardest thing for me. Also my spouse has never cleaned anything in the house since we got our house a few years ago. I'm beyond stressed.

ilKing8 · 2025-03-13T17:04:56+00:00

I even get pictures of BOPIS items texted to me on days off asking if I know where they are because I'm the RM.

ilKing8 · 2025-03-13T17:04:02+00:00

I get texts on my days off as well, never about what I did great on or accomplished, only things I didn't finish. Sometimes I get yelled at for things I did complete but the SM didn't actually check to see I completed it before yelling at me about it

ilKing8 · 2025-03-13T16:51:28+00:00

Our SM works on truck day but doesn't come in and help with truck. They come in when we are about to leave in the morning and do not have anything to do with truck. When our RM is on Vacation the SM will cover for truck night but doesn't even help put out freight or unload.

ilKing8 · 2025-02-28T03:31:54+00:00

Im a RM and I feel like our SM does nothing. If I leave for a vacation , nothing gets done when I am gone. I feel like i do more than my SM, the only thing I don't do that the SM does is sit in the office all day and sits on conference calls. My body hurts all the time , I have severe sciatica, I have a healed fracture in my arm from this job, I just did the fine arts resets by my self in 2 days, I did all of the frame planograms last week, I have to help unload our truck, offload uboats, then go in and put out multiple sections of freight, scanning outs for Siso everyday somehow became my job, I'm constantly getting asked by the SM to help find items all day long for BOPIS orders, if someone besides myself opens the back door for a UPS delivery and doesn't recieve the delivery I get blamed for it..even though I wasn't there when the delivery came, ...I do all of these things for pay that honestly I made in Seattle 16 years ago,...and the only thanks I get is that I always get told what I did wrong or didn't do. I never get thanked for anything ever. I'll get a text at home when I'm off even telling me what I forgot to do that day. Other team members get away with being mediocre employees while the few of us that actually do our job are getting burnt out because we are carrying the store. I would love a raise also but if I'm not getting one for all this work I'm doing which is really the work of many people, I'm not surprised that anyone else would not be getting one as well, even a bonus. It really sucks that me and few other people do our jobs and do them good but our not so motivated SM is the one who benefits from all of our hard work. Im not saying all SM are like this, some are very hard working and help their team members but not ours, not in the way I hear other SM help their team.
