F....Store Managers

It's clear you need to come up with a diabolical plan to get him fired.

Congrats...care to share what your conversation was about and what was said?

He came in to tell me that I was a good manager and if I was willing to take on a certain store that he had in mind for me.

not to be a downer, but can you trust the manager's responses. It just seems like a convenient way out of an unpleasant meeting by implying, but not guaranteeing any promotion. Then after the season is over, comes the classic "well it was never really a sure thing" line. Did he/she tell you specifics as to why you would have to wait? Was it part of a normal and written policy?

Just curious. hopefully, my cynicism is just in high gear today...

Because you will NEVER be promoted during X-Mas time.

If only I had the time.

So the district manager and I had a conversation and apparently I am on the verge of a promo so I should wait it out until after X-Mas

He told you Merry Christmas.....better work hard.....

And as the world turns, the Carrot dangles...

Good luck

Yeah, that's like changing QBs in the NFC Championship game...don't change things in crunch time.

Here are some pointers from the master

Oh yeah, plenty of times. I'd rather have a strict manager that's always on point because the "cool" guys will always have an excuse and use a scapegoat.

Game Stop isn't exactly known for having managers of the highest competency.. I mean just look at the typical demographic.

My current store manager is relocating so I will probably get that store or wait 2 months and get another store.
