And here comes a rant...
I am so fed up with my job. So fucking fed up. It's only a part time job and yet, it's been giving me so much stress and so much headaches lately, that quite frankly, I just don't seem to give a fuck about how I do there anymore. I've worked at this stupid retail job since the summer before I entered university and I was happy. That's three and a half years at this retail store. I loved it back then; the employees were super cool, the management staff was totally understanding and kick ass, everything was fun and work was always a good place to be.
Three fucking years. And things started going downhill real quick last year after the US bought it out. The employees are still cool and a lot of them have become good friends of mine, but the fucking management can go burn in hell for all the goddamn injustices they've committed.
They discriminate against you and generally favor the guys over the girls, giving the ladies such a hard time with unrealistic standards. They base your hours and schedule on favoritism rather than performance. So, if one week, I call out a manager on a mistake she's made, she gets back at me by cutting my hours. The fuck?
They gossip and spread rumors about the employees and customers to other employees and then have the fucking nerve to call US unprofessional when we call in sick. And I mean they say things like:
"Oh my God, come look at that obese customer. She's so fat!"
or
"Look, a gay couple! Come look at the gay couple. HAHAH. Like, ew."
or
"That lady's skin on her face...it's different colors. I feel so bad, it must suck to look like that."
What kind of fucking attitude is that to have as a goddamn assistant manager?!
And this shit goes up all the way to the fucking district manager who is a two face cunt that lies openly to your face if it'll get you to fucking shut up. He lied to me literally seconds after telling another female coworker something the exact opposite of what he said to me.
They keep us there till 11 at night when we close at 9 just to clean and do shit that people can do the next morning who start at 6 AM. 6 FUCKING AM. The store doesn't even open till 10! The guys are lazy as fuck and just wait around for the girls to finish cleaning their section so that we can go over and help them and by then, it's a goddamn mess but the managers fucking blame us and yell at us for this. Is it my fault you hire morons?
We can request days off but they have the authority to reject it simply because 'too many other people have booked it off'. So what gives that person the advantage over me to get it off? What if mine is a family emergency and his/hers is a party?
So many employees are quitting; full timers that have worked there for years. So many have complained. So many have said they're unhappy. And the DM just stands there and says: You guys feed off of each others anger and act like a clique or posse. If you don't like it here, then quit.
What kind of fucking attitude is this?! Most of your employees are unhappy and OF COURSE, it's NEVER your fucking fault; we only have ourselves to blame. GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU DIRT BAG. I hope this company rots in hell.
OH. And one more thing; some snitch in the Blackberry Messenger Group made specifically for this store printed off a copy of a private conversation that showed another employee complain that one of the dumb managers should be fired already. This person went to the management with this PRIVATE information and now, the managers are going to use it against him.
Seriously, can you believe this shit? I'm not a lawyer but that has to be illegal somehow.
Ugh, I can go on but basically...
I NEED THE EB GAMES MANAGER TO CALL ME ALREADY I WANNA QUIT SO FUCKING BAD! >.< Seriously, that phone call is gonna save my life. I don't get paid nearly enough to put up with this level of bullshit and I plan on going to HR to get them into serious fucking trouble before I go.
