I've been working closely with the previous manager to learn everything I can in the event something like this happened. I'm going to be working with the regional manager today and will probably ask about applying for and training into the position.
Wish me luck and send those prayers my way please! Love y'all!
EDIT: Thank you for all the positive words and encouragement! I did literally 90% of the work today and proved I can do it, and me and the regional were talking about what online courses I'll have coming up to move forward in this direction. I am definitely on track to take over here! GOD IS GOOD EVERYONE!
I was also a manager at a sandwich shop many years ago. The best thing I got from it all was managing people and time. Learning how to move people in positions and duties based on their personality.
My #1 tactic for managing was always giving my employees a choice: “would you rather sweep or mop? I’ll do the one you don’t want to!” Or “would you rather work register or the line? I’ll do the other!”
It works everytime 😎
Oh man I would love that I am a cashier in a convenience store and the thing that has helped me back from becoming assistant manager even is that I can't work mornings.
Well the Yahoo that they have chosen for assistant manager doesn't even open the store on time we're supposed to open at 6:00 for opening closer to 7:00 and he's fudging his hours.
Plus he power trips and is just an all-around dumbass I bite my lip and I do my job.
Although the district manager and the manager both know what he is doing because I have told them.
I wouldn't care if he actually did his job but he's clocking himself in at 5:30 and not showing up at until 6:30 and he's logging a lot of overtime when he doesn't need to be and I know that he's editing his hours because I've seen it on the timesheets
And the till shows when people log on to it
My manager has been gone since February for health reasons I'm holding on for now but I'm about ready to quit I already have a lot of job opportunities open to me.
We had to fire someone for that exact thing: time theft.
Guy adjusted his time by 2 hours. Daily. For months. We never knew until one day we checked the cameras for another reason.
If you’re willing to invest the effort, and upper management/owner won’t take action, you can contact the better business bureau and they will open an investigation.
Thank you. I literally have the receipts from when they log on to the till. The alarm company also would have the times when the alarm is deactivated in the mornings. And when our punches are edited it puts an asterisk by the punch.
Also to top all that off the cameras would also show when the store is opened and there are at least 14 inside the building
He thinks the cameras only show the last 24 hours. The guy is not the brightest crayon in the box and he knows that I told upper management.
It is so blatant.
The only thing that keeps me from walking from this job is that I love my customers and I actually love the job I'm doing.
Oh and get this he also edits the time for his girlfriend because she works the same shift as him. I do believe the district manager is going to do something but he's waiting until my boss is able to return I really like her. But she knew what she was getting herself into when she promoted him
If you are the only one that cares why waste your time and talent on a place that is poorly managed ? There are good business owners that need and value good employees. JMO
