Yes it is true. I'm not sure what to call whatever economic situation we are in right now, but it is not fun. This morning it really came to hit me in the face at our all team meeting at the big blue box. This morning we found out that we went from 9 supervisors and at least 12 seniors down to just two supervisors. So those who once were getting paid to do their job now aren't receiving that pay anymore. You know it's a bad situation when your GM puts up the number for HR to help you with the process. Families are affected by this and so is the rest of the store.
Every person on the sales floor has to pro certified in almost every area of the store. So instead of having a set department you're all over the store. So I'll break it down for you this way. Let's say you have Joe who works in the cameras. Does his job and sells what he needs to and does it amazingly well. Now he has to learn how to step into every OTHER department in the store and sell just as well as he did in the cameras. That is a scary thing. Now in the world of best buy there is not as much room for promotions and credit to be given to those who are doing above and beyond their job title. Alright enough about work.
It was an okay day, sometimes you just wondering what's going on inside another person's head. I wish i could turn that off and on. It would be a great thing to have. I also wish I could make people realize that certain things are genetically imprinted on us and we have no control over it. I also wish I had the power to make a person happy with whatever they are facing in life. Sometimes I just need to curl up in my bed and cuddle with someone. Cuddling seems to make everything better. I miss having my sidekick puppy dog Lucy laying in bed with me, I should work on that....
