Hmmm.....

So, I think I will be making a new mile marker in my life very soon.. I am going to try very hard at finding a new job. Here's the deal, I love working for Subway in general. I do not like the political mess this company has turned into at all... As a manager my team and my customers come first, period, end of story... The upper management needs to bring a better attitude to the table when it comes to dealing with middle management and lower management. We need support not consistent correction without any sort of positive feedback. How do we know that you are happy with what we are doing? We think that everything we are doing is a failure without positive feedback. Plugging along with low moral and personal support does not help customer service, employee relations, or relations with the upper management. Do they not think that having managers not happy with them is not going to be an issue in their stores with their employees? Are you nuts? Life is about tic for tat.... give and take. you cannot take, take, take, and then take some more without dire consequences. Why is this a lesson to even be learned or reminded of? I guess common sense is really not so common anymore. Where do we take this?

Anyhow, those are the reasons I am looking for a new job. Yeah terrible economy, but it wont get any better for anyone if they are very unhappy with their work. Happy employees equals higher productivity, higher standards that will be met, and better customer service... when I personally am having a really good day, no customer walks out of my store without a smile on their face from some stupid witty comment i made. I mean really, are my employers so stupid as to think that no positive feedback period is going to get them somewhere...

Well neither here nor there, i have decided to get my shit together and apply for District Manager Positions in different companies/franchises in the Subway conglomerate.  I am hoping to be that person who can support managers and show them that they are not alone... I have been in this position without any real help for about 4-5 months now and to be horribly honest, I'm done with it. I'm done with the drama. The finding out you were not here to help because my store was not a priority at all, or to find out that it was paperwork you were doing... Really? how does that help the company in the long run... paperwork can wait, customers cannot. Sigh.... SMHV!
