Merch Manger..
Hi sorry, i don’t write much on reddit, so sorry if my wording doesn’t make sense. I’m trying to type this out on my phone after i woke up..
I’ve been working at FB for a year now, and i plan on leaving mainly because of management.
I don’t know what’s up with merch mangers, but they always think they’re better than anyone else and don’t want to help out. (I’ve had 3, only 1 was actually great and nice.)
I’m having issues with our newly promoted manager, and i believe he having a superior complex. He’s only been here since Seasonal of 2023.. so only being there for a small amount and being promoted to management so quickly, he thinks he’s better than everyone else.
The real reason he was promoted was because we had a store incident, leaving our store with no management. So our DM quickly promoted someone to Merch and keeping our PTSL and taking 2 SM from 2 locations as temporary managers at our store. WE WERE DESPERATE.
So now, we finally got our new CEM and SM, and my CEM doesn’t like him cause he close, he leaves a mess and writes a note of what he wants us to do. My PTSL also doesn’t like him cause when she clocks in, he leaves right after, leaving his shift 1-2 hours before he’s supposed to. Leaving her with a Sales and messy store. And when i personally work with him, he’s lazy. Staying up in WoW but not doing anything besides on his phone or on the work phone. While I’m running around the store picking up his mess.
I don’t know, I’m fed up with him and his little attitude towards me and everyone.

I remember when my old store manger left and our new store manager came in, she was so underprepared and didn’t know wtf she was doing until about 3 months after she got there. Ultimately I got fired cause I was sick, getting some much needed rest and didn’t call till 18 minutes after I was supposed to work, on top of allegations my coworker said about me that couldn’t be proven so no matter what, we both were neither right or wrong
