I work for a major supermarket chain. Our store manager who has been in charge of the store since spring. He is bullying, making staff cry, disregarding disabled employees and the law, creating the worst possible morale. Many staff have left due to appalling behaviour.
Yet higher management think he is wonderful. Yes wonderful about making staff cry and leave (I am 98% likely to leave myself). Nothing wonderful to shout about.
Several colleagues have raised grievances towards him and nothing happens. He has ousted decent managers to go to other stores and poached his previous managers
When he’s off, the atmosphere is much better.
Why can’t the higher management wake up, remove their rose tinted glasses and take action in removing the vile human from the role and never again to be a manager?
He was exactly the same when he managed previous stores. Surely the large numbers of staff leaving under his management would raise alarms? Apparently not.
One thing is he’s of an ethnic minority and myself and others reckon if he was white, he would have been dismissed before he got this store role. Should treat all races the same.
