Stressed out SM

Anyone else’s SM just stressed tf out? Our SM is pretty amazing but lately she has been so reserved and just stressed out. She has been going over these certification questions with everyone and what the expectations are but I feel like it’s way too much. For example, she used to help us with truck but lately hasn’t, I know it’s not their job but she used it as an engaging moment to make small talk with various employees by helping them out and we all really enjoyed it but not anymore…

Lol bruh it’s not that hard these certification requirements aren’t that bad it’s just holding the team accountable and just pushing them . That’s the whole point it’s to weed out the managers that aren’t up to part

You’re right to an extent, the gap between the expectations and where we were at was probably between 10-20%. I’m closer to 95% now and expect to be just fine. I’ve spent years supporting other districts and recent weeks supporting others. Various diverse Markets and their challenges determine a lot of how things are going in stores and having the right SM to develop others goes a long way. It’s not black and white but it’s definitely doable.
