Are there any other stores out there that does not have a Store Manager but have a "Store Mentor " ? My store has gone through several and the newest one is pretty much a demon. Has only been to the store 3 times since tbe beginning of 3rd Quarter and just has not gotten to know the store and is oblivious. Ugh!!!

A lot of retailers have a single manger for several stores these days, and going hard against metrics is an excuse to to layoff workers, because there are millions of laid off workers more than happy to have your job. Either you s— up and make yourself known to the hiring and firing decisionmakers, or you are not known to have done anything beneficial for the store. No one has a duty to toot your own horn for you, especially before the new boss who has no prior knowledge, and the question is going to be what have you done that benefits that store mentor, because they have goals to meet and are stretched thin because they're doing what used to be half a dozen people's jobs.
Where are you located?
Ahhh yes, a "Store Mentor" can be a store mngr or an OVM from a different location that is there for guidance. Unfortunately they are not really focused on the ""mentor" location and barely sees the store. There are a few stores I know of that are profitable that do not have a "mentor" or Store mngr. I dunno, sorry tbat your "mentor" s—s balls.
