I am a store manager in retail and applied for MDP at my VPGM and DOS's suggestion. I was also interested in a level 2 AD job in IHX but found out they won't let you be part of MDP in IHX this year which is shocking. Why wouldn't they want to invest in their best people?
After hearing that I talked to some other ADs over there and it sounds like a cluster right now and they don't care about career growth or developing people at all. They said it has really gone down hill since last Christmas even though the money is good the leaders have no heart or compassion for people at all. One told me they basically have no soul.
Is that the same everywhere or could it just be this area? Our retail VPGM and DOS here has an amazing culture and I feel really blessed to have them invest in me and develop me. It's really sad how they treat people over there in the same company but just bad leaders.
