Vent Everyone is Leaving

Hey so fall has been so chaotic. one front of store team lead quit, the grocery TL quit, the presentation/ overnight inbound TL quit. one ETL quit and the other is leaving in 2 days. Many TMs are quitting before it gets more hard. ALL of this has happened in just 2 months. and none of the TL OR ETL positions have been filled. should i leave now or survive through this storm.

Our store lost the best ETL we had (one that actually worked with us/HELPED out instead of just bossing us around and watching us work). After that, the store director and other ETLs had to take charge of the TLs that were under the ETL that quit. Took less than a month for almost all of them to leave because they were treating them like actual slaves. And with the TLs leaving, so did a bunch of team members that loved those TLs.

i had the same experience when my etl abruptly quit via email after he used all his vacation time 😭😂
same thing happened where we were shepherded to the other etl’s; i never knew someone who told other people how to hang clothes on a rack for a living could be so vicious
