Worst Managers?

Don’t just leave without naming them and making them accountable, if their boss won’t. Make it known so things can change, complete surveys on your manager each year and do an exit interview at a minimum.

Totally agree but in some franchises surveys are not sent yearly and, if so, to only a select group who will answer in favor of management. Hello....HR are you listening? Exit interviews are great but are not widely publicized. Speak up, people! Don't continue to let these destructive managers wreak havoc. You have more power than you think.

Uh, really? You have little to no power. Get back to reality. No safe spaces here.
 












You can also report concerns anonymously to the hotline. Doing nothing is a choice. Choose to do something. Sometimes change is slow but it will never happen if you don’t choose to do SOMETHING.

CS in Florida is the worse manager ever. The problem is, we put people in positions because they are liked or suck up to the right people, not because they are good.

Time for legal and HR to reign in management....too many complaints and possible lawsuits. GET RID of problem managers who seem to have 9 lives. The same behavior from reps would never be tolerated!

Comment is spot on. Legal and HR need to do THEIR jobs which is to uphold company policies, state & federal laws. Not sure how you defend the indefensible and live with yourself. At least they recently got rid of some of the worst manager offenders in HER2.

Good to hear but time to clean out ALL franchises!
 


















This is a quote from another company's thread but describes a growing situation at GNE. Bob and Herb would be horrified. Get rid of these scum DMs and insist on accountability. Lawsuits and HR complaints will continue to pile up. Pathetic.

2 means different things in different regions. Are you in a major metro area where replacement reps can easily be hired ? Is your DM at risk of missing full bonus, out of favor, under pressure, etc etc ? Are you a rep that annoys your DM ? If two of these three questions are "yes" then you might have six months to find a new job. If all three of these questions are "yes" then you have three months to find a job, figure that the last 30 days will be on severance.

Look, you are replaceable and you are an excuse why a DM might have a lackluster performance. The DM can be a true superstar by crushing and disposing of marginal representatives and especially if they take out a high profile rep. DM's with a kill or two are held in awe by other mgrs. There must be deaths to fill the DM war stories.

When is a 2 ok ? Well does your DM absolutely hate three reps who you know they are focused on killing ? It will take them 6-8 weeks to finish the kill and find warm bodies to fill the spots. During these two months you are safe. Once they have finished the kill - you may be next. Try to keep track - how hungry is your DM for fresh blood ? Are they still chewing up someone else ? Have they bragged about the joy of the hunt and the thrill of the kill ? Only if you are absolutely positive that your DM hates other reps more is a 2 ok.

Remember, reps are disposable. Only 4 and 3 know that their survival extends beyond 6 months "for sure". Use the remaining portion of your life to try to find a new job.
 


















New SOP for managers needs to focus on ACCOUNTABILITY to the company and team; not running their own fiefdoms. If you want a healthy, productive company then 1. cleaned house of any HR offenders 2. require 360s every year by EVERY member of the team including support roles 3. make the 360s truly anonymous 4. any whiff of trouble put them on a PIP and start the removal process. Leadership would be amazed at how much more productive teams could be with accountable management. And with the storms this ship are about to enter, no more room for destructive, ineffective managers.
