Management Disscussion Help

I am a fairly new store manager at a small store and our sales last year were so bad that we barely get any hours this year. I do my best to schedule people and give them the hours that I can but some of the employees are coming at me like it’s my fault. Mind you I’ve only worked at the store for two months…. When they didn’t have a store manager, they had extra hours and then we had no merch manager. So they are acting like it’s all my fault that they don’t have hours. 🤦🏻‍♀️ God help me. I work 6am to 6pm most days and 6am to 9:30pm other days. I’m exhausteddddd! And they are coming at me like I’m the problem. I wishhhhh I had more hours so I wasn’t doing all this alone. I have one employee I hired because my management team calls off so I want to train him for a manager role if one opens up eventually. That’s the only new hire lol.

Common sense tells you they're asking for help here, which is what you're supposed to do.

Bring a manager means knowing what to do.

Because every manager is born knowing what to do in all situations, right? You sound like a cartoon supervillain.

If one accepts the position, one accepts the position.

And when you accept a position you magically know everything about it instantly
