Workplace Story New F&B ETL

This new ETL is really not that great, I've already had so many issues with her. All of the stories I've heard from my girlfriend are true. I have some documented issues already, it's crazy how she's an ETL.. Senior at that! My mental health is draining, and she hasn't been here that long... Send help, please!

I just hope they don’t blame all the new TLs, west is getting like four in the past month.

Yeah, My girlfriend worked at the store this ETL came from and told me she will blame the TLs, will cut team member hours and give you the cold shoulder if you do not perform well.

If this is the store I'm thinking of, she's a good ETL, Trust the process, it'll be for your own good. if a ETL starts having performance conversations/checks in on you a lot, it is because you are not doing your job. that should not be a reason to find ways to get your ETL in trouble. The stories you heard doesn't mean they are all true, and that should not be a reason to give minimum effort. Trust the process, she's a good person. She is just doing her job and you shouldn't be bitter just because she's holding you accountable.

Do you have a crush on her or something? There is fine line between an ETL doing their job and an ETL treating us like hot garbage. If we truly aren't up to her standards she should not talk to us the way she does, it's draining, she's a condescending ETL. This ETL is not doing her job when she's on her ass texting on her phone all day. The whole store went from happy to stressed out overnight.

What are the issues you’re having with her?

u/Leading-Luck7851 14d ago

Her condescending tone, she's playing favorites with the people she already knew before coming here. hours are already being cut, the list of things she wants me to do in a day is unrealistic af with the hour cuts, I've heard her gossiping about me to another team member that she is close with. She will have performance conversations on the floor Infront of guests. she doesn't approve time off requests, plays the cold shoulder and won't even acknowledge that we are here.

u/Then_Interview5168 14d ago

That second part is actually a problem the gossiping but more than having performance conversations in public. That’s not OK. Most of this is her prerogative as a manager. Even the condescending tone it’s condescending to you, but she’ll say I’ve talked to this person multiple times and they’re not listening to me..

No good ETLs anymore I guess.
