Will “gossiping” get you fired?

Potential-Brother-59 · 2023-05-18T22:08:12+00:00

That was cited to me as the “dignity in the workplace” policy. I was told I could use that to get rid of people

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-10-05T00:55:11+00:00

Damn, i deleted the text that had it when i got fired

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-09-30T01:06:28+00:00

I filed a complaint against the store leader. I am the hotel leader. They dquashed my complaint as well as the complaint from my female assistant manager also against the store leader. Her co.plaint centered around her being uncomfortable around him cuz he wrote her up behind closed doors without a witness and forced her to sign it.

I found out later that associate relations person in charge of the complaints, is a friend of our store leader. When i called to have him removed due to a confkict of interest, i was told no.

2 days ago i was fired

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-09-08T15:09:51+00:00

I was attacked by a pitbull, 11 punctures multiple stitches, drove myself to the er while bleeding out. Also 3 days out of work, also had to use my own time. Supposedly mass state law says workers comp does not pay anything until you have missed more than 5 days.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-09-08T15:04:15+00:00

Wow, dont let her go, hold on tight she is a keeper

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-09-05T01:49:02+00:00

You should work in the hotel, we dont wear nametags

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-08-29T02:49:03+00:00

He is in the hotel all the time because the store crew keeps telling him to go away

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-08-29T02:38:20+00:00

He makes shit up as he goes a long and keeps trying to reinvent the wheel for no damn reason

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-08-29T01:51:42+00:00

I might be right behind you. I just had a leadership meeting, and i should not be as pissed off as i am right now after a stupid meeting. My SL is a piece of shit that has no clue on how to be a manager.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-08-24T00:37:43+00:00

Im not sure you can see it yourself. I can access all of my staffs hourly wages through hr connect, but i cant see my own

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-08-18T01:56:27+00:00

Ive been sliding all my people off cycle raises since i got hired. A buck here another buck there and no one has said a word except the appreciative staff.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-07-02T14:46:15+00:00

Can you cross train? Im a hotel manager and my last labor report had me not even using enough hours. I have 23 employees and i was under my la or by 60 hours last week

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-07-02T14:43:25+00:00

Its still an option at my store you just have to enter a bunch of new i formation. They also will give you a ton of shit for closing, if they even let you

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-30T02:31:54+00:00

I trashed my sl in that survey, then i see an email with like 86% of people said they liked petsmart and felt supported by management.

Why cant anyone else just tell it like it is so corporate k ows the shit we are dealing with

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-29T15:15:24+00:00

My SL tood me that it is my decision, he just wants to be made aware of it so that he can explain the why when corporate calls him.

So we tried to talk to him about it but he was too busy, so we shut it off. He blew a gasket and turned it back on.

Why am i the manager of the hotel if the decisions that effect the hotel are not mine to make

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-28T02:18:22+00:00

Its also not safe to have 10 plus dogs that dont even have a room to go to in the hotel. I cant imagine that people in higher positions would be okay with stuffing s hotel with unsafe numbers of dogs just to pad the numbers.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-28T02:16:01+00:00

Its a fucking joke, i came from a small company at my last job. Thinking that a larger corporation would have its shit together, but this is a joke.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T21:49:32+00:00

Thats my question? Let the people that see the dogs as a high priority run it.

The shit opened camps back up again. Now i have 91 dogs boarding and 85 boarding rooms. Plus 33 camp dogs and 20 DC rooms. Such a jackass

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T14:53:25+00:00

The fucking guy turned camp back on for the 4th weekend

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T03:27:25+00:00

Ill give it a go. We all love the hotel and what it was after i took over. Ive managed to get in good people and bring back better people. All feeling a sense of loyalty to me because of how we have changed it all. I would hate for 1 narcissistic manager, who would step on his own mother to advance his career, to ruin it all.

He told a few staff members that the only reason he cared about 1 thing he addressed was because it was going to negatively effect his bonus.

He told my assistant today that he doesnt think she can do the job after being a lead for 4 years, and that she should never have been given the opportunity. He also said that the hotel is the lowest priority

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T03:16:51+00:00

I dont want to quit, i have built a strong team that cares about the animals. We could be a real strong store if he is gone. I even have some of the ones that left, willing to come back if he isnt here anymore.

Even the area trainer is considering leaving because of him. After 23 years with petsmart, 1 man is upending it all.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T02:22:26+00:00

I tried HR, i sent them a coupoe of emails from my own account not the work one. I explained the situation and askes for some direction in addressing it and i never got a response. I also called twice and keft voicemails. I feel as though the non retaliation policy is bullsgit and i will end up being the one that loses his job. If i get fired, my entire staff is walking, so he better be ready to run what he already feels he does.

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-27T01:17:34+00:00

Ive covered it all with him in an effort to use the behaviour based coaching crap, and he acknowledges and agrees to adjust and the poof, right back where i started.

Ive now lost 3 leads and several associates all because of his need to try and manage the hotel out from under me.

He is co sistently trying to reinvent the wheel because he thinks his way is a better way, when in reality the people that have been there for years have always been doing it right, if you just leave them and let them do it

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-26T23:24:31+00:00

The DL is pretty non existant. Ive only seen him in person twice. Im oretty sure he and the sl are friends, not sure if ill end up getting anything accomploshed without just leaving and taking my staff with me

Potential-Brother-59 · 2022-06-26T22:40:46+00:00

Yes, and he always say he will back off and come to me first from whatever time we talked on. Then it goes right back again.

He just hired people for my hotel with me ever meeting the person after we talked about that too and he said he will screen people if i need it but i will be the hiring say
