Working at an Aldi is retail hell as is, but trust me when it can be worse with a shit manager.
I haven't called in sick for a single day in the past 4 years I worked here, even though I have felt like shit some times, I just got to work.
I work friday and sundays, and this week I accepted a third shift on saturday.
Thursday I started to feel ill and couldn't hold food down, I texted my assistent manager thursday night and he told me to call the store number on friday morning before 9am.
I call the number at 8 to tell them I am feeling ill and the first response is: “oh have you asked people to come work for you?”
If I should have or not is besides the point imo because I feel like thats already a rude first response.
I tell him I didn't and he said: “well how are we supposer to find a replacement right now?”, Another question wich made me boil on the inside.
Anyway after the call he tells me okay we will figure something out, if you're still sick call the manager again saturday morning.
Saturday morning rolls around and I am feeling worse then before.
I call the assistent manager of that day and tell her I feel ill, she is nice about it and said to not worry and get well soon.
10 minutes after that phonecall I get a text of my boss saying I should try and rest well today because I am working tomorrow (sunday), they didn't have the personel to replace my hours so I just have to work…
Love the bosses who care more about their store and their revenue then their employees…
Just had to get this off my chest
