To add insult to injury, on my way out of the store I overheard my manager, Matt, threatening to fire Kathy, one of the new cashiers, if she didn't sign-up 6 new reward card customers, take in 10-$1 donations to the Un-united Way and sell some other dumb-ass promotional gimmicks during her shift. When Matt left, Karen told me they had her on the schedule for 12 days in a row. "I'm working as a fuckin' cashier and now they expect me to squeeze an extra dollar or two from every customer?" I suggested she call their bluff and walk-out. They obviously don't have anyone else to replace her or she wouldn't have so many hours. Somebody in corporate needs their head examined before it explodes.
I thought karen got fired in the August 8th edition?
ReplyDeleteI think he using "Anonymous" names.
ReplyDeleteI also work at a Pencils store. Looks like no matter the store, the threats still remain the same!
ReplyDeleteIf your managers are threatening you like that you should call HR. In my store we expect everyone to work hard, but we have fired managers for threatening people who don't get enough rewards sign ups.
ReplyDeleteSorry about misidentifying the cashier... it was Kathy. Karen was fired.
ReplyDeleteIve worked at 3 Pencils store and im there everyday. I've never had management treat me or anyone else that way
