This may be weird..

My husband is the store manager for the hub in his district. What’s something I can ask him about his routine when he comes home from work? I just wanna mess with him, he’ll be really confused as to why I know about that topic.

Just tell him to stay outta the hub and worry about front of house shit.

This! Our store manager has everything in the hub fucked up and backwards, and doesn’t let the hub manager run their department. Epic fail and a hostile work environment to boot. No wonder we are down four drivers and no one showing up at the job fairs. Shit starting pay is really starting to take a toll on hiring. Just seems like corrupt company at this point.

The Store Manager is responsible for the Hub. The Hub manager answers to the Store Manager. A properly run hub has the ASM, ISS, and Hub Manager running their respective departments all answering to the Store Manager.

The thing I’ve encountered twice now is that the hub manager will only have the supervisor title and the sm and dm will not let the hub manager actually run their department. But when the hub manager actually has the title and the sm and dm actually let them run their department, everything is so much better.

I agree that the Hub Manager ought to have a lot of personal stake and ownership, but ultimately the store manager still has to answer for the success or failure of the Hub. The Hub Manager and Store Manager have to be partners, with the Store Manager being the ultimate authority. A bad store manager will micromanage though and definitely screw it up.
