12 years with the company. Ended up hurting my leg off work, had surgery last year, lost my mgmt position and had to be a cashier.
Okay I get it, surgery and rehab took 14 weeks so you needed to replace me.
Move 90 miles away, due to losing my apartment with the paycut not letting me make full payments. Transfer to another store in the company telling them I’ll take anything to not be a cashier as I’ve been trained to be a manager for your company. They give me a more productive role, and even tell me “ with your mgmt experience we hope you can show the kids on nights how to do more”. I work 2pm to 11pm.
Sucks but okay. I quickly decide I’m not doing the “fake” mgmt role, I’m the same level as these kids so I’m not gonna be a de facto manager for them.
My fiancé is pregnant and we couldn’t transfer to a obgyn locally, no spots open, so we have to drive the 110 miles to our OBGYN twice a week. One of these days is a scheduled day off. The other I try to make it to work, but by the time I get back home there’s 2hrs of work day left. So most dr days I just take as unpaid day off. On top of this she’s been labeled high risk so we now have to go to a closer hospital for additional ultrasounds each week.
Manager calls me in office yesterday to tell me not only are my driving pregnant fiancé to appointments affecting the store, but that she “doesn’t believe I’m driving that far so much”.
I don’t feel right giving her so much medical info, so I gave her the address of the dr and I’ll bring an appt card for next visit, even though this company is famous for not accepting dr notes. I’m not too mad about the “affecting store”, cause I get it, but they really can’t be mad I’m taking care of my unborn child, and I feel mgmt stating “I don’t believe you drive that far” for my high risk fiancé is rude to say the least.
Planning on leaving after child born. I enjoyed my time with the company but this toxic management culture can kick rocks.
