Where do you start? Honestly, there are no words to sum up the last 12 months. I am no longer proud to work for this organization. I put in long hours, always have and always will be willing to give 150%, for what? To be ridiculed and to have to ridicule my people? Sacrificing my kids baseball or football games was always a part of the job, then it turned to my vacation days and now it is just my life. It’s not worth it, none of this is anymore.
What are we doing here? Putting up dub lights, window clings and corex? Resetting fixtures? The only thing that we are doing that makes sense today is the drive on inventory levels, the rest of our plans are garbage. The way the current leadership team makes their people feel makes me sick to my stomach. If I could leave, I would. I would be 100% willing to give this feedback face to face if I didn’t believe I would be demoted but there is zero trust. They don’t trust us and I sure do not trust them. I have given my entire career to this company, to leading people in this company and now I can barely look my people in the face. I’m over it, something better change soon or… oh wait, or nothing. We have no power, our leadership has not demonstrated that they care about us in any way shape or form and I have no choice but to stay until I can replace my salary.
