You know there's a turnover problem when..

[scruff]

... co-workers joke about you deserving a long service golden clock as the oldest team member when you've been in the company less than 5 years. *whimper*

[CyberLurch]

... the NOW HIRING sign has been painted directly onto the window glass, 8 feet tall, and it's been that way for YEARS.

[DeltaSierra]

....you get a name badge that has the names "Bob", "Joe", "Mary," and "Tom" crossed off and yours written on it.

You just have to walk in the door and find the new faces gone and replaced with new new faces ad nausium.

[Marmalady]

You've had nine immediate managers in less than three years (including one who was only in the job long enough to work their notice)

[Sunshine]

You have shift senority and you've been there two months ahhh, convenience stores

[Crai]

You walk in to work on the third day and the boss hands you the store keys and a security alarm code as he says he quits.

Back in college, I worked at a convenience store. Had been there since sept, got keys in Oct, had to take a week off for xmas break as the college closed the dorms, you needed special permission and a temporary move(they only kept one dorm building open over break) to stay on campus over xmas. My hometown was close enough I wasn't allowed to stay on campus, work wasn't going to pay for a hotel, and I wasn't about to try and crash at a coworkers(usual townie/student rivalry shit).

I got back from break and was informed I was now not just a keyholder, I was an assistant manager. Whopping raise of $0.50 an hour and I was now required to put in at least 35 hours but not go over 40. Also was told I needed to hurry up and get some new people hired, as fully half the staff had either quit or been fired in the week I was gone and the AM did everything for hiring except the final interview.

My response was essentially "F NO! Are you F*ing serious? Did anyone even bother looking at my file and availability? What part of college student, MAXIMUM 20 hours a week is so hard to understand?"

Told them I was willing to stay on in my prior position, but I was not going to be management for anything less than $12 an hour. "We need you in the AM position, can't give you your previous job back. And we could go up to $9, but there's no way we could do $12."

Was told if I was to stay employed with that chain I needed to take the AM position at the miniscule wage offered.

I was back delivering pizza in 2 days. All it took to get my old job back was a phone call.

Convenience store eventually got back to the usual semblance of normal. Took corporate sending in a management team from HQ. They tried to get me to come back as an AM, even offered a little more money(still not the $12 I asked for, though). School made it so I couldn't put in the 40 they wanted and they weren't willing to have a part time assistant manager( who can blame em?)

...you have to start training your replacement before your predecessor finishes training you.

[taxguykarl]

When a new hire asks about the last CW, you have to reply "Which?"

[DGoddessChardonnay]

You just have to walk in the door and find the new faces gone and replaced with new new faces ad nausium.

That would be the Litter Box.

Bonus is the new faces are all younger than you are.

Which after Friday, I'll be the next oldest person in the store (we have another one retiring.)

I once had three managers in three months and then NO manager for another three months.

The no manager period was bloody awesome.

[Argabarga]

"Remember Don?"

"Don from 2011? or Don from 2013? or Don from 2014? Or Don from 2011 on his second time through in 2015?"

"Hell, I dunno, the one who got fired for doing meth"

"That was Pete"

Groan.....

[notalwaysright]

Heh, at my work it's like:

"Who's closing cashier?"
"Jane."
"Really, I thought she didn't work nights because of her baby."
"No, the other one, the one going to Local University."
"The one with blue hair?"
"No, she quit a while ago, this Jane does roller derby."
"Huh, haven't met her yet."

Also I'm terrible with names and have pissed off a couple CWs by saying the following over the radio, we are supposed to call for backup by name:

"Can I get a second cutter... New person that I forgot your name? Sorry."

It's not good, but it happens. It doesn't even matter if they hate me, they quit before I even work with them again. This was all back with New Manager. Our turnover has leveled off since then.

At one kinda minor sized fast food place 35 years ago I had in 3 years:
9 GM's
and I stopped counting at 25 AM's

TRUE revolving door company with managers

Bonus is the new faces are all younger than you are.

Exactly the same situation I have at my pizza place (all the new hires lately are at best early 20's) and I am mid 50's There are only 2 employees now that are older than me (both drivers) and I trained BOTH of them.
