As far as the shop display goes your dept manager should stick to his guns - usually we on the spectrum have a creative element and know how stuff should be displayed to look good so people want to buy and you must always stand by what you know is the right way. Some people especially in positions of any power such as these new managers just want to be difficult for difficulty's sake and because of their ego.
Not me lol. Mean I see patterns. I like to organize the clothes by gender, then each gender by size and each size by collar and weather it's long or short sleeve etc. I feel this would be helpful. Say a customer is looking for a large shirt now all the large t shirts are all together. I do the shoes by size like required(I'm only one who does) then by type slipper->shoe->boots->camo boots.
I'm utterly terrible at moving stuff around though to make room. I can look at a section and say those two things are similar and should be near each other. But moving sections to another part of the store or say moving one item to here to make room for another, nope. My manager moved sections around and I can see and be like neat that was a good idea, but I haven't the fathom of how he thought of it. I prefer working nights cause it's all organizing and keeping it nice. Morning new stuff comes in and is remodel and move sections which I simply can't process. The other guy is better at that and he hats to organized sections, he doesn't size the boots etc cause it's time consuming, hour or so every day, a size 10 sold, so then everything above or below size 10 has to be moved over to fill that spot since we may not have a size 10. The others just plop an size 8 in the spot and call it a day. So I'll come in and reorganize it. Same with the scope case.
However I don't feel they recognize my effort and contributions and so see me as useless and lacking cause I'm UNable to do the big picture stuff. I guess I always thought it as a team effort. My next review is up next month and i dont know if I'll pass. I may because I'm no longer required to do club cards which tipped me over to failing last years review, I also got more involved in organizing. I came up with new system for the scope case. I dont know they also dinged me for missing 3-4 days in a year even though we are allowed to miss 3 days every 6 months. :/ i dont know where I'd go, I don't think they'd get others to replace me fast though, and the shoes would be horribly unorganized with irritates customers.
Oh and the other man guy is possibly transitioning out of th department, guess he'll be doing shifts down in clothing
That make me the most experienced guy there I don't want to be the relied on guy I can't do that.
