Is anyone’s else’s district manager / manager really getting to them? I work frozen and work orders that go between a bit above 5k to bigger orders 7k. When I first joined frozen it was take down the frozen pallets, fill frozen, tellicount, spot check, face. Our freezer was organized by boxes in areas they go (doors & bunker).
The district manager has implemented that all back stock product be taken out of boxes and scanned in and organized beautifully on shelves (we get a lot of back stock due to busy store). We now have a pick list to do. I have to read to read through orders to make sure all product has arrived. No left over backstock on u boats.
LISTEN…it sounds wonderful In a perfect world but I also need to take a lunch. Help customers. Answer calls. Separated deli - sushi - bakery - meat on pallet. Reorganize and clean freezer. Do other side quests. Make sure orders are done. Turn in receipts that everything came in or not by end of shift. They want everything done in a DAY or get talked to.“District manager came in and was disappointed how the shelves in freezer look.” Listen if you’ve seen freezer products and how bulky and weird shaped they are or how small and multi they are (sprouts rice, veggies packs, fruit packs) and the amount of room…it’s not going to look organized like a grocery back room okay I do my best :’)))
I’m tired of getting grilled because the district manager is implementing more than what’s possible for an 8 hour shift. The manager gets on me, I explain EVERYTHING that they’re giving me more and I explain the routine and all I’m told is “I’m just the messanger”. I extremely feel the district managers have no sense of what a regular employee goes through during a shift. I can see perhaps maybe smaller loads? But then there’s still so much they still expect with the amount of time. I know my work ethic and I kick ass and I’m proud of my work but I’m literally emotionally and physically drained after every shift. I loved working for Sprouts but I now loathe coming in. I’m starting to bring work stress home and like.. for wHAT!? I genuinely feel like I’m being exploited and I don’t like it!’
Was told he’s going to come back at an unexpected date to check our store like lol ok. Idk does anyone feel the same? If you have tips and tricks for a smoother shift please do share !
Thank you for reading this far 🫶🏻
