Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

CIJS,

There is an individual in my department (I'm the manager of women's shoes), who in my opinion, is much more capable than being a shoe associate: I've made it clear to the store manager and the assistant store manager that this individual is manager material.  I believe in this person's talent: I know in my heart that this individual would surpass me and be a better manager for the department, provided that this individual receives guidance and training .

That said, in the event that this individual is ready to be a manager, I've been considering stepping down and going to the non-sell team, so that this individual can have a shot.  However, if it comes to this, it is my hope that the store manager will back me on this and let this individual take over the shoe department and not allow corporate to just stick someone else from another store in the position.  Bottom line: the store has a very talented individual who is still occupying their bottom ranks.  We need more people like this individual to occupy our organization's leadership ranks, so that our organization can continue to succeed and prosper.  There is no doubt in my mind that this individual has the ability to soar up the store's ranks provided that store management will recognize this individual's talent and develop it.

What if she wants to be "bottom rank" or not manager?

Thank you for your question.  The individual in question has expressed an interest in management; she wants a future with the company, but not as a bottom rank employee: I stated that such a future would be a waste of her talents/capabilities, and she concurred with me.

Has she taken the next step which would be to approach management herself?

CIJS, I don't like tomatoes. I like tomato sauce, but not tomato slices on my sandwiches, or wraps. Every single restaurant or deli automatically puts these on, and you have to request to keep them off. And they look at you like you're one of those people. Maybe if most tomatoes looked bright red, I'd be more enticed, but they have this pale rusty look. Just no.

I used to hate tomatos when I was a kid. My stance on them has softened considerably over the years. A juicy tomato slice on a burger with all the fixings is just delightful.

A good looking, juicy tomato, yes. But, not these abominations that I'm always being offered at delis, and restaurants.  My grandmother had a garden when she was alive, and they looked beautiful.

I'm Italian. I'm obligated to like them. Then again, I like them regardless. And I like all different varieties. Big boy, beefsteak, romas, cherry, grape, brandywine, etc. You name it, if it's a tomato, I love it.

Even the gross ones that I'm referring to??

[Joods]

Only the ripe ones 😹
