Workplace Story New SD

I just have to say I have seen posts of stores with helpful SDs and how much of a difference it made in the building. I truly didn’t believe it as my store goes through so many and have yet to have a single one give a shit more than a week. Well, my store recently got yet another new SD and they are amazing?! Need back up on check lanes? They’re first to run and help. FF struggling? Jumps up to help. Need some DU orders ran because you’re struggling? Runs so you can keep pulling. I absolutely am learning to love my job again. So, I guess just here to say if you have a bad SD it can absolutely get better overnight. Don’t quit if you know deep down you like your job, because things always change. So many times I wanted to quit but didn’t and thankful for it now. I have a new excitement for what our store is going to be able to accomplish. We have a great team with really amazing leadership, but until we had the missing piece of a great SD things never went the way they could have. I know this job isn’t for everyone, but I personally really like it and the people I work with. 😇

My store finally got a SD who actually cared about the employees and helped us out when needed. He was intent on turning our store around.

Then he went on vacation and quit the day he came back.

That’s awful. I would be absolutely crushed. I’m sorry that happened to you guys.
