Six Bosses To Answer To
When I was hired I was told that after 3 months I would be up for review to see if I would get promoted. After that 3rd month I was offered a position as a cashier. However, management never gave me that position. After another 1 ½ months of fighting management for a promotion, I was offered a position in the furniture department. I thought this would make things better. It turned out to be for the worse. Here are my reasons why. The minimum pay to live where I am at is at least $8/hr. Since accepting the promotion to the furniture department in October, I’ve been making $7.20/hr. For the amount of work I have to do, I believe $7.20/hr doesn’t cut it. Management treat their employees like trash. Instead of having one boss, I have at least six bosses to answer to and none of them agree on anything. Every time one manager tells me to do something another one wants me to do something else, so on and so forth. In the end, I’m always getting in trouble for “not being productive”. I have spoken to management numerous times about this and nothing has changed. When I do say something I always get told that I was being “disrespectful towards management”. It’s kind of funny how the company’s #1 rule is “respect for the individual”. As for benefits, I have to wait an entire year just to receive benefits. That’s 365 days. If I get sick sooner than that, I’m scr****.
