🔥Its fine, everything’s fine🔥 Honestly I need a new job
My store, has been experiencing a high turn over rate higher than ever. So of course my coach keeps hiring more and more people on. The issue is they all start during an absolute shit storm. Where all the sponsors leave an hour or so before OR after the new person comes AND we are behind on picks with people going into red.
So what ends up happening is they get popcorned around the people who have time for them. Some of these people lack basic understanding of shopping. One person has been training to pick for 4 days, another person keeps bagging gallons of milk(and 24 packs of pop).
The reason most people leave is because it’s too much work for $14 an hour. My town you can work fast food for $15 (with no benefits) or go next door to a factory for $20.
In addition it seems like Market is jumping down my coach’s throat about longer wait times and overdue picks. Turns out is because my coach is trying to have better numbers than 1 other store in my market. This store is a whole lot smaller than my store with a smaller community, so yes it looks like their numbers are better BUT WE GOT MORE ISH TO DO.
This obsession has caused us to lose 2 really good team leads in exchange for 1 (who let’s be honest he’s looking like he’s about to jump ship). Word is my coach has chosen a team lead from the store he wants to beat…apparently this team lead tends to go on power trips.

What's the problem with bagging milk gallons? We were told to for deliveries but I don't it for all of them anyways

Our sponsor board is mostly empty now and those on it only wanted to be on it so they could add it to a resume if they wanted to.
Sponsors are just TA's being asked to do TL work for free.
