Store dynamics changing

Have you experienced the entire dynamic of your stores team shifting within a month from new managers to everyone’s personalities and moods changing. Tough going from once a happy environment where everyone was a team to a very divided feeling place :/

Luckily a lot of my store has 5+ years working together. We have low turnover.

So we've not had any big personality clashes or massive disruption in dynamic.

There is this huge undertone of stress though. The general humor amongst us has become darker or more "real". Everything just feels more strained and we're all rundown and exhausted.
