I worked at a company for 1 1/2 years. I got promoted twice and am now salary. I worked my ass off the whole time. 60 hour weeks. No one trained me when I got promoted. I had to build the department and learn it all myself. My manager was never around. I've only ever gotten compliments and gotten the highest merit rate out of any salary employee. The 3 managers who worked around me wanted to promote me to manager. However, once I made it aware I was 4+ months pregnant at the time, my manager who was NEVER even near my department came to me and said I was bad at my job and this department needs a real supervisor. He pressured me into going to this other department because I need to learn how to be good at my job. I was told by another manager that…

Eventually I grew tired of waiting for a store and of not getting better bonuses, etc… So I asked, and he promised that the next store opening would be mine. When that didn't happen, I met him at his office early one morning. I was there a half hour before he even arrived. He tells me he's not going to give me a store because I'm too…
Is it over yet?
I knew it was going to happen, so I no longer work with a bunch of angry racists. They always told racist jokes, sexual jokes, and always yelling and cursing at everything and everyone. I knew I would not last there, 5 weeks was enough, I learned that Doing the right thing just gets me fired. I have to make a living, so from here on out I will not be reporting people for sexual harassment, or for making racists jokes or harassment statements. You all are on your own.
