Northway Store Manager Case Study

The purpose of this presentation is to show that I Justin Carrick-Hunter as a Second Assistant Store Manager was never considered a viable part of the Carrs-Safeway store management team located at the Northway Mall and in my opinion was setup to fail.

Both the Manager and the First Assistant Manager located at the Northern Lights and Muldoon store repeatedly told me that the manager at the Northway Mall store had said he would give me a week. As Stephanie knows I made an appointment with her to explain my concerns about this situation and to talk about what was, in my opinion, the unprofessional communication that was taking place, and that I felt I was walking into a situation that the Northway Mall store Manager was upset with me becoming
I certainly would believe this is not consistent with Corporate policy.

During a conversation the store manager brought up our last meeting that was attended by him, Stephanie and myself, he looked at me and said "I was not going to win" meaning I was going to be demoted, my return conversation was that I did not want to rehash our last meeting and that this was not about winning and that I only wanted to have a fair and balanced outcome. I felt as if this was a personal attack and that he had made it his goal to see me demoted. In my opinion this communication was very unprofessional.

In conclusion, I hope the Alaska Carrs-Safeway management team will see that I have cast some doubt on the validity of what I am being accused of i.e. not management material. The outcome that I would like to see is a transfer to the Jewel Lake store with the same position description and given a true opportunity to prove that I am a valued part of the Carrs- Safeway management team.
