We need a new district manager and the one we have Asha needs to be held accountable for the down fall of her sores, staff and she needs to be held accountable for being a horrible person in this world.
Review from Sales Dept
Better staff communication skills and ability to work together
Working us managers to death and ridiculous if we need to call in
Management is the sole issue, they dont know what it means to be nice and communicate effectively. Having managers that are fair and kind, and not intimidating is the first step. Otherwise nothing can be helped.
People talking behind each others back
