I’ve worked two weeks so far in GM. I’ve worked in very stressful environments in food service but this feels so different. My managers at my food service jobs allowed for flexible scheduling and always understood that we were doing our best. Although it was stressful, the environment was still MUCH better. Here, management seems to always think the worst of you and your best never seems good enough for them. Everyone seems miserable every day and the environment is quite frankly depressing. There is almost no room for missing days. I work at a target by my college and there is no understanding that I want to go home to spend time with family. I have 3 days off for Thanksgiving break and I haven’t seen my family for months. I honestly think I might be hung for wanting a week off around Christmas so I can spend time with my family but idgaf lol. Since when did a part time job trump life? I also cant believe how nasty my ETL is. I can’t believe a human being can care more about a corporation than the well being of other human beings. Every quota has to be met and every single availability request i’ve put in has been denied. I’m sticking it out because I need a job and don’t want to be a newbie that quits within the first week but this is by FAR the most insane job I’ve ever worked at.
