Glenn stopped being the manager of Cloud 9 in Superstore Season 4 primarily due to his high stress levels. This decision was largely considered the right call for him personally.
Glenn's Management Tenure and Departure
Glenn, known for his kind-hearted but often overwhelmed demeanor, served as the long-time manager of Cloud 9 Store 1217. However, the pressures and responsibilities of managing a busy big-box store eventually took their toll.
- Stress as a Primary Factor: The demanding nature of the job, coupled with various challenges and eccentricities of the store and its employees, led to significant stress for Glenn. His departure in Season 4 was a direct consequence of this overwhelming stress.
- A Beneficial Decision: For Glenn, stepping down from the managerial role was portrayed as a positive change. It allowed him to alleviate the burden of the high-stress position, which was proving detrimental to his well-being.
Later Return and Continued Unhappiness
Despite his initial departure, Glenn did return to management later in the series after Amy Sosa left Cloud 9. However, even in his second stint, it became evident that the role was not suited for him. He was consistently unhappy managing the store, reinforcing the idea that the inherent pressures of the job were not something he enjoyed or handled well in the long term. His true calling seemed to lie elsewhere, often in roles where he could be more directly involved with the employees without the full weight of corporate responsibility on his shoulders.
