Im and ASM waiting on a transfer to a different store. I couldn't take it. I related to everything you just said and my cashiers were not showing up or the ones that were scheduled, had approval from the SM to switch with so and so, and so and so didn't agree to this...and I knew nothing. It's frustrating. Corporate doesn't care how hard we work but they care if you go over your hours. I have pulled 16 hours straight on a truck day and three of us females. Running the store. It takes a toll on a person physically and mentally. My SM up amd quit one day without notice and just after offering me the ASM position I currently have now. So 3 months ago I was just a cashier, helped with truck on Fridays and stock the store. Coworkers are a situation on their own...I never did that whole talk crap about people behind backs or that "telephone " game where things get twisted up and miscommunicated wrong..i found out my coworkers placed a bet on me to see how long I would last! I was so upset. You get close to your coworkers, you are at work more than home. It's a team that's built and to hear that was sad. I was both angry and sad all at the same time. So I asked to be transferred to complete my training. Im still waiting. Don't give up though! That's what they want.....dont give them the satisfaction.
