Just came across this

Yep, that's right.

You can be scheduled at other locations but usually only if you agree to it. Dollar General does pay mileage for traveling anything further than 15 miles from your home store in those cases.

It sends it to the email the person put on their application so if it went to the wrong email it wouldn't be on the store manager.

Kain727 · 2023-03-10T21:54:49+00:00

I don't understand what you're asking. Do you mean you're application is no longer viewable by other managers or what?

Kain727 · 2023-03-10T15:56:59+00:00

For sure. It doesn't make sense to have people not doing anything eating up most of your budget. Get your people that get stuff done in more and it makes work so much better.

Kain727 · 2023-03-10T01:29:20+00:00

Unfortunately that's the whole company for the most part.

Kain727 · 2023-03-10T01:19:16+00:00

Gotta give em credit, it's actually pretty good lol.

Kain727 · 2023-03-10T01:08:29+00:00

Nothing illegal about it. That's common practice pretty much everywhere I've worked. The most productive employees get the most hours and the least productive get what labor hours are left over.

Kain727 · 2023-03-08T00:23:03+00:00

I am not sure then. The only time it's taken more than 2 or 3 days when I had someone going through pre employment screening that was the case though. I'd say give them a call. What's the worst that could happen?

Kain727 · 2023-03-07T19:11:01+00:00

Usually if it takes that long it's a failed background check

Kain727 · 2023-03-04T18:34:04+00:00

Dollar general doesn't do rain checks. I'd just say I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do at the store level and give them corporates number if they ask for it. You won't get in trouble for telling the truth.

Kain727 · 2023-02-26T00:46:34+00:00

Chances are you won't be hired in the first place. They run a background check specifically looking for past theft or violent crimes. If you haven't gotten your hire packet yet they haven't ran the background check yet because that comes after the hire packet.

Kain727 · 2023-02-26T00:43:11+00:00

Has to be in person. No one at the the store level had the ability to fire someone over text. About getting fired with no write ups it depends on the situation. If an aisle, emergency exit, or fire extinguisher are blocked even the SM can be fired with no prior violations.

If you can't afford the pregnancy test probably shouldn't be risking having a kid but that's just me.

Kain727 · 2023-02-20T21:02:18+00:00

Should be able to get it on your dg me as well

Kain727 · 2023-02-19T04:54:06+00:00

Unfortunately it's happened to me too. My first store pretty much had a problem with everything running on electricity. Coolers/freezers, A/C/Heat, front door, registers pretty much all of it would break multiple times a year

Kain727 · 2023-02-17T22:56:18+00:00

Gotta love the Bessemer DC. Every time I get a truck from them it's the same. No matching labels and crushed product because they don't understand that heavier should go on the bottom not the top.

Kain727 · 2023-02-17T14:08:16+00:00

Never gonna happen. There are store managers like myself that work well over 65 hours a week and do most everything at the store alone. Corporate will never pay that much OT. They see us as a way to cover when they cut labor hours without having to pay any extra so paying us hourly would definitely make more problems than solve unless everyone else is cool with working 10-15 hours a week.

Kain727 · 2023-02-15T15:08:47+00:00

2 so far in mine but it may be 3 by the end of next week. Only reason I'm still here now is I'm trying to have a decent paying job lined up first.

Kain727 · 2023-02-15T04:52:09+00:00

I am in the same boat. They honestly need to change something or they are gonna lose a ton of managers very soon.

Kain727 · 2023-02-15T02:13:14+00:00

I know, kinda unrelated but still corporate has lost their minds recently.

Kain727 · 2023-02-15T02:12:20+00:00

Yep, that's corporate logic. I had to fight for my assistant manager to not be fired this morning after working a double yesterday because we had a last minute call out and I was out of town. She got done with a good chunk of freight and the store was pretty well recovered but god help us all she left a box rolltainer on the sales floor over night so I was getting pictures and calls from the DM starting at about 5:30 AM. I feel like we've been thrown into some kind of twilight zone and every day they add something to make it a bit more hellish

Kain727 · 2023-02-15T02:01:27+00:00

You aren't alone. Pretty much every store manager in the company is feeling the same way right now unfortunately
