- A culture that can take top talent and deteriorate their mental health and well being. The way employees, more specifically management, are treated by corporate should be a crime. - Severe micromanagement by corporate; Authoritative environment - Unprofessional and inconsistent (moods) communication from HR, not supportive or honest with store teams; questionable behaviors and transparency of complaints brought to HR’s attention; proper investigations not performed, exit interviews are conducted and not used to improve. -HR employees share confidential information with Store Managers with whom are “close friends” - Corporate employees are disrespectful when visiting stores, making unprofessional and accusatory comments causing an impact to moral; store team members not wanting to work when corporate visits; store leadership has to pick up the pieces to this behavior and be held accountable when vocalizing corporates impact on the team - Corporate takes no ownership to their impact on stores to protect themselves: merchandising for allocation, logistics, inventory control; other executive roles that directly “supports” stores exhibit poor leadership and professionalism - Sub-par learning & development, green talent placed in corporate roles that heavily impact people & performance, adding additional workload to store leadership - The reassessment of the organizations headcount every 6 months adds unproductive distractions to retail field and a selfish mindset from corporate in the fear of losing their jobs - Incredibly large divide between stores and corporate, felt by most, vocalized by those not there anymore. Interesting, isn’t it? - Store leadership told they are accountable for turnover even when sharing it’s caused by Corporate employee behaviors - Company only cares about the numbers. Not the people. - Cannot trust the intentions of those who speak for you when you’re not part of the discussion -Those that stay become a product of this environment, ultimately changing who they are as an individual, allowing for this culture to be viewed as normal. It’s unhealthy, concerning and unethical.
