So I barely 2 months in as a manager to a store that had nothing for a month and a half. All the old staff left and I've filled the all positions for the store at this point. But my new staff is nice one second and horrible the next.
Most of the time my store is single coverage unless on weekends. Knowing that and the general time the store gets busy, I've been trying to leave tasks like I should. My staff gets upset because the to do lists are too long. Then they complain I don't do enough, or they don't see me do enough. Like the fact I do more paperwork then shipment. Usually for the past 2 months I'm in the store 50 hours, but only getting paid for 40. I don't get days off because I need to be around to answer questions.
My belief in life is to help out wherever I can. So when I have money I tend to pay for everyone else. It's just something I do. It's not bribes, or anything else. I just know I can afford it so why not pay for it and let everyone benefit.
My final straw happened today. I got sick last night and I couldn't tell what it was. Thankfully it wasn't the virus, but I didn't feel comfortable closing my store early. The last time I had the new staff got upset and accused me of lying to them. So I stayed open and finished what I could. Made sure the store looked nice and was fully sanitized, but forgot to sweep. This morning I get the nasty texts of the store looks atrocious and it wasn't swept and that they might all need to quarantine if I had the virus, etc. With still being on conference calls so they didn't have to and could focus on customers, even though it's my only day off. And going to the doctor to be tested.
I'm frustrated and I don't even know what to do at this point. My self esteem in work has fallen and I feel like I'm better off quitting then dealing with a staff like this that constantly puts me down. I was so excited to get my promotion and now I feel like it's ruined everything for me.
