I had a quarterly business review meeting today with the president, VP, area supervisors.....the Jedi council as I called them.
I walked in there feeling so good about myself but let me give you a quick background.
I am a store manager at McDonalds. Our company has 20 stores....I have a 2nd tier restaurant as it is smaller in volumn.
We are judged at how well out our PACs are on the INCOME statement.(Profit After Controllable....higher is better)
Over 30% is decent by McDonalds standard....>35% is EXCELLENT.
So I've been at the store for about 8 months and for the last 6 months....my PACs for ever month has been 35%-39%.
The manager before me ran around 28%-32% during the same months last year.
My mystery shop scores been great at around 86% for the last 6 months.
So needless to say I walked in that meeting with high expectations.
Boy did I get shot down.
For the HOUR or so, all they kept doing was comparing me to another store that ran around 40%-42% PAC for the last 6 months.
(His store is very similar to mine but mine is more ghetto and has less sales)
I keep saying that its an unfair comparision as he has the highest PAC in the company.
They should be comparing my numbers to last year and such.
I was just dumbfounded as why they chose to harp on the one area I thought I did well in.
You know as they kept grilling me, I got more and more defensive.
Toward the end of the meeting someone else came in and fired away at me also.
I couldn't take it anymore as I left before the end of the meeting sobbing.
Thats right, I was crying like a baby.....never thought you see a grown man cry did you ?
Don't know what cause it but probably because I felt so unapprreciated in there.
Anyway, a couple of them went outside and apoligized and such but man I'm still pissed as hell.
I'm still feeling that all that hard work I did went unnoticed.
You know what FVCK them, I think I will just demote myself to an assissant and let them find someone else to run that store.
McDonalds is teh SuXor !!! I need to change career.
OK thats my rant for the week.
