How do you plan to manage a bunch of people that don't respect you?
He's "training to be a manager" which is manager speak for "I have nothing concrete to offer you, here's an empty promise"
Or, "take on some/all of my tasks without consideration for your current workload and with no additional compensation."
Everyone is my dept respects me. They do what I say when I say it. They know I'm in charge and I'm not that bad of a manager. I actually have experience from 2 other stores. It's the girls in other dept that is so used to the other floor guys, current and old, saying YES YES YES!!! However I don't say yes which makes them mad.
In my store we have "floor guys" that do everything. We are supposed to know the store and help when and where we can. Which is why we get paid more. However just because we CAN doesn't mean we SHOULD. Even the store managers are tired of it which is why we had a meeting where they got told it's not our job. Pissed them off.
I'm not gonna be a store manager. Just someone who manages the guys and what they do. Basically make sure they aren't fucking off 90% of the day.
I just realized "floor guy" doesn't mean "flooring department guy" and now this all makes more sense.
Sounds like what I call Pretty Girl Syndrome. Pretty girls are never told no and are appalled when anyone does so. I can hardly hold it against them, it's just the way life has been for them, but still.
Key learning opportunity right there.
