The second to last DM I had was nice and awesome and only fired people for really bad stuff or being late all the time. He got switched with this Italian kid in his late 20s who is/was an utter type A-personality shit that seriously AND I MEAN SERIOUSLY everyone in our department wanted to hurt him. He would write people up for having a scratch on their shoe or being 1 minute late and that is just the lighter stuff!!! We later found out he was put in their to get rid of most of the dept because our previous DM wasn't doing it, since he was a human and our SM believed that our department (software) was an unnecessary department and basically wanted to get rid of everyone. Is this common at all stores?
isnt that the point ?? to promote good guys?? dont you want more of the DM's to be nice guys,? who know what they are doing and help you make more money ? why would you want more jerks in the store? I like it when you can tell that people like thier boss, they are more relaxed enjoy work more.
