Commiserating daily with my colleagues.
Managers. Pay. Technology. Security/loss prevention.
Original manager was really approachable and made me feel welcome, so I opened up and gained confidence.
Floor staff and visual merchandisers. We all work well together, and make light of sometimes near-impossible tasks, to get them done.
Owning their job role. Being present. Being approachable. Willingness to undertake floor duties when necessary. Approaching "lower" staff as a team, rather than part of a hierarchy.
Comments my manager made to myself and other colleagues: "Don't work then, it doesn't matter to me but you won't get paid." "You're worthless. The company doesn't need you." "If you don't want to be here, then don't. We don't owe you anything." Nothing could make up for treating people like this.
