I'm going to share a little story about my experiences in retail. this happened during my notice period as I had found a great opportunity to better my skills and knowledge. I was in a retail job as a manager and I had a supervisor who used to talk bad about the company and the store. Every day he used to come in and didn't do nothing apart from go to the next colleague and talk bad about the company. This was going on for too long and I had to do something about it because he literally only came in every shift to talk bad about the company and nothing else. So I sat down with him (informal chat) and asked what was going on, why he was feeling the way he was. Considering that he has been in the company longer than me, I gave him a chance to prove to me that he can carry on with his role. He told me he didn't want to be a supervisor anymore and he doesn't like the company at all. I asked him what he wanted going forward and he decided to step down as a supervisor. The store manager wanted him gone, the area manager wanted him gone for a very long time. So I took the decision to demote him as I didn't want someone in my store as part of management to talk bad about the company we worked for. When I told my area manager that I had demoted him due to some of his reasons, he was really happy with me and the outcome, as it looked bad for the company, that their own staff especially a supervisor talking bad about the company. I thought nothing of it at that point. I left the company 2 days later and my store manager thanked me for the decision I made to step him down. Bearing in mind, I was a deputy manager and only took the job because my area manager had promised me I'll have my own store within 6months, as I was previously a store manager before this. A week later, I find out the same colleague I demoted, had not just been promoted back to supervisor but actually promoted to store manager. This is the same person that was talking bad about the company and didn't do nothing in my time that I was there. So moral of the story, people don't quit bad jobs because there's no such thing as a bad job. They quit because of bad management and from my experience in that company, it was just bad management. I have nothing bad to say about the company as the company was really good. But, I was promised a store within 6months, i took a heavy pay cut because of the values of the company and I loved it. But, unfortunately I didn't get where I wanted with that company because of bad management. Make it what you will of this but people quit because of bad managers, not bad jobs.

Tom N.'s journey is truly inspiring! He never says "I can't" and is willing to try anything. Starting as a part-time cashier, he transitioned into plumbing with no prior knowledge. Two years later, he became a Sales Specialist in appliances and succeeded. After five years, he became a top sales specialist! Later, he applied for a department supervisor position and succeeded once more! Good leadership and encouragement enabled him to continuously challenge himself in both work and personal life. Embracing challenges leads to success. 🤠 #loweslife #Lowes #flooranddecorcommercial #LVT #SPC #SPCInglewoodfloor #SRB #WPC #EPC #Sustainability #FlooringInnovation #FlooringSolutions #Flooring #Vinyl #Durable #floor #floors #flooring #spcfloor #spcflooring #vinylflooring #vinylplank #pvcflooring #madeinvietnam #clickflooring #buildingmaterial #slat #piso #decoration #wearfloor #stoneplasticfloor #interiorrenovation #plancherSPC #woodenpattern #carpetpatter #stonepattern #flooringdistributor  #waterproof #vinylfloor #plank #spcfloor #spcflooring #renovation #lvtflooring #homedeco #looselay #rigidspc #chevron #herringbone #EmbraceChallenges #ContinuousGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #SuccessMindset

The worst thing in the world is working in a place with a cowardly manager who is afraid to make decisions and is controlled and directed by the employees. The company's management is unjust, doesn't consider people's circumstances, and operates on favoritism and connections. Being a skilled employee with a master's degree but unable to advance, while your supervisor or manager has only a diploma from a vocational or commercial school. #Carrefour# mafretail

Marks & Spencer's taught me the most valuable skill of my career 🐷🐛 Yep, you read that right. I was getting my haircut at the hairdressers the other day and the hairdresser mentioned that her daughter was trying to get into law but had no relevant experience. It made me think about my experience and what's taught me the most over the years. Of course my legal experience has really helped where I am today but when I started out the customer service skills that Marks and Spencer taught me on their world renowned customer service program are undoubtedly the skill that sets me apart and which remains with me today. It was a proper course, focused totally on customer service, I even got a little star fish badge for it!⭐ Clients are your customers and you should ensure that they feel valued, call them back on time, update them even if there's not a proper update so they know they aren't an after thought etc. What's the most important skill you've learnt in your career? #corporatelaw #softskills #customerservice

Chamcho ko manager banana bandh karo! If the criteria for promotions in your workplace is who is the closest to the manager or who is a 'yes' sayer then you are running towards a dead end my friend. Almost all the talented people will leave your organisation because nobody likes to work in a place where promotions are not based on merit. "So what do you mean by merit Ajay Merit means 3 things: 1) Competence 2) Character 3) Contribution These 3 should be the ONLY metrics for you to evaluate your next promotions on. Share this with someone who gives promotions to his/her chamchas... Agree? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
