The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

I worked at Advance as a part time gig. I knew more about how to run that store than the GM.

I left when he decided that I needed to work 40 hours for him as a part-time guy.

Oh i believe it. I was the only one in the store with an ASE cert. And then when i took over as GM my boss would push me to schedule the part timers as much as the full timers to prevent OT. It was a constant struggle and was miserable.
I liked selling parts - i didn't like managing minimum wage employees.

The GM I worked for was lazy, he is supposed to be at the store 50 to 60 hours a week, rotate the shifts he works (open, mid, close) and rotate days off. He was never there on the weekends, was gone by 4 daily, didn't know how to do ANY of the inventory functions and didn't even do the schedule.

I wound up working all day on the weekends, and from 5pm to close (9 pm) during the week, after working 50 hours at my day job. He couldn't understand why I got so upset about the schedule.

Yep i was salaried for 50 hrs a week and worked AT LEAST that every week. Usually 60+. I did the schedule as no one else could figure it out - and i was the only one that did inventory.

I didn't close the store or work sundays but thats because i had part timers that could only work those shifts. That and i couldn't get anything done at night. When you get called up front for every single customer it makes it hard to do backroom jobs like inventory and planograms. I very much do not miss doing those either.

Its hard to staff a store when you've interviewed everyone in the system across multiple stores. I interviewed so many dumb dumbs you wouldn't believe it.
