3 times in over a year?
and all for valid reasons, Its not like i call off to go to a concert or to wait in line for video games or something pointless, i miss out on alot of fun stuff cause i have to work, ive called off 3 times and all with valid reason.
But to degrade someone no matter the reason for the call off is sick, They even try to make you feel like the work you do there is horrible too, even though you do the same job everyone else in your department does.
This place just doesnt care.
Example.
two nights ago a meat department worker was abducted in the parking lot when leaving from her shift, the man told her "Get in the car and drive or i will hurt you"
So she did, she was so afraid and traumatized that she does not even barely remember what he looked like or anything he really said.
The store is notified. her father works there too.
No employees are notified, no one knows it happened except for the people her father told, but he has a heavy foreign accent, and its hard to understand him.
So we all thought the story was that she just "gave" a stranger a ride home.
Later we hear from a union steward the full story.
A female co worker tells me the story as she is leaving her shift, asked me to walk her to her car because she was scared, so i did.
And what do you think happens?
The same fuckin guy comes out from hiding behind a mini van, in the same pose for the night before, hands in pocked, telling a story and asking for a ride.
I told him that we were only on break and were not allowed to leave the store.
I told the girl to get in her car and start it up and drive right away.
I went in, called the store director, whom called security, wrote up a witness report just after someone else saw him threatening a customer in the lot for a ride.
But who circles the lot?
Our union steward and one of my best friends, and the in store security.
No cops were called, No employees were again notified.
The only way we all know now is by word of mouth.
So why not post a notice to beware of a man in the parking lot...when instead they focused more on a dress code notice.
I simply cant stand how most of the higher ups treat everyone there like shit. But when it comes to them, their family and health and lives are golder.
We had an employee cut off his finger on a meat cutter, They called his manager to come in otherwise they would have no meat cutter for the night, His wife tells us "hes home, He just doesnt wanna talk to you"
so we tell her what happened, she tells him and he said "So?"
doesnt call back, doesnt come in.
Sickening.
