store managers are lazy and no help when it is obvious when another manager is not doing their job and making their employees unhappy. You go to them asking if they can talk to this manager but all they are good for is chatting with the customers, making their hourly walk around the store for their exercise and sitting on their asses in their office. what good is having a store manager make so much money when they do nothing but manage themselves and no one else??
micromanagers are worse but the type you describe don't care enough and employees feed off that. people lose interest, the sense of ownership and pride, in their store.
We have. "Micromanager" who ABSOLUTELY LOVES to stop you from what you are doing to have you do some other stupid ass waste of time task or do your task a different stupid ass way that's "better." Just leave us the hell alone and let us do our jobs!
You know, at my store all the co-managers and store manager are too busy covering the work of normal clerks to really bother the employees much. Heck, on bad days they get to go out and get carts.

very true, store managers may not help unless the area is short handed and no one can be called in...otherwise a grievance can be filed because they are taking away hours from employees

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
We have a co-manager on a register enough to effect our weekly ring tender report. He even knows he shouldn't be on it, and definitely not hours at a time, but can't help himself. I have had this conversation with him as has another manager.

People are complaining that managers don't work. Now when they do you want to file a grevence.
I think a store manager cant to any work around the store due to the union . they say it takes away from our hours.
We had over a dozen call offs last weekend on the front end alone. Maybe people should come in and do their jobs and whine less about not having any hours after they call in every weekend.

It's like a broken record. They'll call off and then complain about getting the minimum hours required by contract. Boohoo.
You get the same thing when someone newer makes full time over someone who was there longer but calls out, comes late, leaves early, can't stay, won't come in...
Oh, haven't you heard? People are rock stars. AND movie stars! They are to be pampered as such.
Can't believe how a thirty two year old 'kid' who STILL lives with his parents, drives a 93 Buick and can barely afford a cell phone, truly believes he is entitled to the best of everything.

Those ones are always the first to complain. The sympathy well is bone-dry. Come to work! There's a novel idea!
