Supervisor (Current Employee) – Covent Outdoors, ENG –
Management's perhaps not contemplating day day goings on. Sit and motivated to sit in the office all the time, all I ever before saw my supervisor performing had been rota's and coping with a few emails during the day. Never taking part in day to day floor functions, barely also checked kips's or sales objectives. Management just interested in taking on staff she felt she'd be friends with and never that would be good when it comes to shop.It is no key that us apparel are struggling economically consistently, in October they submitted for bankruptcy help, they've a 6 thirty days restructuring program and within those 6 months they have started cutting tasks and closing down shops. If restructuring plan doesn't work out of the company goes into liquidation.
