Ridiculous pay for shop manager job
1
Completely unrealistic pay Vs job skills and experience.
Went for interview for a shop Manager.
Want a highly experienced retail manager to essentially come into a closed shop and turn it around from scratch; build up new team sort all displays and shop processes, sorting etc; marketing sourcing stock, accounting, HR...
And want to pay eye watering low salary.
Even had the cheek to say the pay was too high in the shop and slashed it so it's equal to another shop in the next town..?! Usually decided by head office and regionalised, not per shop. More likely was seen as a chance to cut costs.
On the day I was supposed to find out if I got the job got no reply, but surprise surprise found the job readvertised , and wage slashed mere pence above nmw!
If you don't pay realistically for the skills and experience you want and treat people properly, and keep up the noble cause guff as an excuse to pay pin money and take advantage of caring people, they will walk!
