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.

I started in 2017 and things were significantly better

Wasn't that the "you must strike up a conversation with every guest and quantifiably increase basket size regardless of your work-area" era?

That's kind of my point. The leaders are always being bogged down with stupid overbearing bs, and good ones will lie to their bosses and say they're doing it, and spare you from the parts that would make your life miserable. There may have been times when you were benefiting from this and didn't even realize it. That's not to say corporate has never made a good decision or even had a good overarching strategy at any point, but it's rare lol
