I'm not gonna hide anything here.
Name of company will be in comments so post stay up.
I was the evening deli PIC (person in charge)
The deli is ran like TRASH. Management is trash. Basically everything is broken I'm the deli (fryers don't work 80% of the time, 2 of the 4 ovens don't work, dishwasher doesn't work, one of the slicers has a missing part, the list goes on and on), on top of the cold case gets riddled with MOLD. The dishwasher is covered in mold. One of the ovens (that doesn't work) is covered in mold.
Because of union, there's employees who should've been fired but don't. Example: multiple occasions where one worker dropped chubs of meat on the ground, dusted it off and said “five second rule” and still sliced it and served to customers.
Management does nothing to help out. I have voiced my opinion multiple times and have come up with ways to make the deli run smoother and all they do is either shut it down or say “well look into it”.
My boss refused to sign transfer papers (I wanted to switch departments), they're expectations from us are beyond undoable. When the fryers didn't work for a day, Management comes by and said “why isn't there hot food and fried chicken?” I told them the fryers broke and they said “well, we need hot food”. Okay? I'm supposed to pull hot food out my ass?
My boss works the schedule around herself, leaving either the deli understaffed or where on multiple occasions people's breaks and lunches aren't given on time because of the lack of staff but we get in trouble for not going on time. How can we go on time when we don't have people and the deli has to stay open?
I've asked Management to help us before on busy days where we don't have enough staff but they just say no. Yet they stand around and just talk for an hour over in produce and they all just walk around together doing nothing but berate others for not doing the job fast enough or correctly. We've had multiple health inspections and honestly idk how the deli hasn't been shut down.
The list goes on and on. It's fucking awful and it's a horrible place to work.
I quit 2 days ago. 2 more people from my shift quit. 1 more put his 2 weeks in. 2 day shift people quit too.
We are all fed up and tired of being treated like garbage. And I'm happy for us for quitting and leaving that wretched fucking place. Meanwhile, boss lady is still on her vacation probably unaware of the shit show that's happening in that deli.
I would've rather stayed if I got transfered different departments, I honestly didn't mind most the people I worked with and the customers are usually pretty enjoyable too. But fuck that.
Don't work for Fred Meyers or Kroger for that matter. They don't care about anyone's well being. I can't wait to see how fucked the deli is in a week or so when almost everyone is gone.
