As if we, the employees, had not been jolted enough this week - hold on, the second shoe dropped today. And trust me, we have been left feeling quite dismayed.
Our store manager announced, that he is being transferred to another store.
Store managers come and go, this is common knowledge, but this manager has a history with this store and this is what makes the difference.
Three years ago, the employees of this store had been under management that had left them broken. And then, to top it all off, another company came in to take over and we all ended up going through the transitional phase. It was a difficult time to say the least. But when things seemed at their bleakest, and the future unknown, we found out that an old, familiar manager was returning.
You would have thought these employees had won the lotto!
This is the store where this manager did his training to be a store manager, so he was coming into familiar surroundings. He knew us and we, him. Good enough.
In the following months we all eagerly jumped in and made changes, cleaned up the store and burst forward in eager anticipation. He brought us up and we have been that way ever since.
The one thing that you have to understand about us, is that we are just not your ordinary grocery store employees. We are a group of people who are dedicated to our jobs, our store and know Customer Service better then those that preach it and write about it.
Good management is always the deciding factor as to how a store will operate. If management respects it's employees, and visa versa, then you will have a winning team. We are a winning team.
So we thank him, for being the type of person that he is; for supporting us, showing us respect, giving us back our store, letting us be ourselves and being a pretty cool guy.
To say we will miss him, goes without saying. I think that he knows how we feel.
But, I have to say that we will have the last word;
Thanks Dave!
