So it's been almost 3 weeks now since I started to be a reliever. Let me define what a reliever is first, it's a supervisor who goes around 2 or 3 stores per week to take his/her duty. Meaning a reliever does not have one store of their own. We take our duty where we are needed, usually when the supervisor of a particular store is taking his/her rest day. We spend about 2 days per store, well at least that's the usual practice. My area manager talked to me a couple of days before i was about to be a reliever. She first asked me if i would consider it. At that time i was in a bit of a rut at work. I felt like i had no more energy and motivation to be excited about going to work everyday. So i welcome the change and told her i would do it, plus the stores she mentioned where i would be taking my duty are easily within reach.
Going around different stores and meeting new people is exciting. It takes a strong foundation of core values and knowledge of standard operating procedures to make being a reliever work. If you have yet to master all the things you have to do and that couples with having to adjust to different environments, you'll be in trouble. Flexibility is the name of the game. As well as the ability to get along with different kind of people and work with different kind of systems. I'm learning a lot and am enjoying my time but i still feel unmotivated most of the time. Maybe i'm just over all of it? I don't know exactly what i'm looking for but i know i want to try other things and discover what it is i want to do.
Hmm.. maybe i'll stick it out until i reach one year with the company or maybe not. I'm not sure. There are bad days as well as good days so.. yeah. Let's see where it takes me in the end.
