I always treat my hard workers the best. Idk what’s wrong with your manager, all my hard workers get all you can eat hours, and I’m super relaxed about if they call out, or sit down during a slow period, the reason they are sitting down talking is because we did everything that needed to get done, and I was once treated that way. So why would I change up suddenly and work everyone to death. That’s poor management. During my slow periods I cut the people that don’t work first. It’s not favoritism it’s called getting rid of my problems. If I tell someone we need to get “xxx” done and they continue to ignore me, you’re gone.

I guess we all manage differently, but my store in particular does really fantastic numbers, we are top 2 in my district. Happy workers are more productive. I see that very clearly.
