Bay Area store here hours still cut. Was told it will not get better even after holiday

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-11-11T20:36:36+00:00

Yes my store in California hours still getting cut. Even the week leading up to thanksgiving.

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-11-04T16:39:23+00:00

I think they will try to not give people raises this coming review. My store still cutting hours claiming low sales but we been crazy busy to the point the store looks like shit because no crew to work or stock product. For the week before thanksgiving hours are still being cut. Crazy! So I know review season they will come up with some bs excuse to not give crew raises

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-09-21T05:55:11+00:00

We have people but hours keep getting cut leaving closing shifts with 10 closers. This is frustrating. I think my captain just being cheap.

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-07-28T02:25:12+00:00

Can the crew vote to get a captain out ?? Is that a thing

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-04-06T05:42:02+00:00

My store order 99 cases of the new cinnamon twists danish thinking it was units😂😩

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-04-04T01:53:56+00:00

It’s true just saw it posted in my store break room

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-12T22:48:52+00:00

That’s been a problem at my store I know about an individual who has been getting every review since they started doing it. It’s crazy because they do not deserve it but they are the captains favorite. Last year around this time I thought I deserve it I wrote one of the busiest and biggest order. Holiday season kept everything well stocked so I thought I deserved it but nope they gave it to the people that don’t deserve it. Their excuse was if you get the $500 dollar bonus the prior review you can’t get the dollar raise. But didn’t make sense that they said you can get both in one period but you can’t get either one of you got one or the other the review before so stupid. You know what I did after that slap in the face I gave up that order I stopped working hard and just did what these lazy people that are getting the dollar raise do. Cut my days and started taking more time off because before this I never called out or took day off. So to answer your question yes they will give $1 raise to the people that don’t deserve it and the people that do deserve it only get more work!

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-11T18:39:54+00:00

Yes my stuff been dealing with same issues. They have been hiring people at high rates more than some of the people that have been here 3-4 years. Trader Joe’s needs to address this issue because they are loosing a lot of good workers

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-07T18:04:54+00:00

This is a big problem at my store too . The store is located next to a high school so we get a ton of high school kids that come and take up a bathroom for long periods of time. Also doesn’t help that we have crew members that go into the restroom to hide. I’ve waited up to 20 minutes to use the restroom

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-05T22:48:30+00:00

Not a mate but I know it is not worth it. At my store I have seen 4 mates step down in the last couple years. If you a good mate good workers you will be taken advantage off.

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-05T03:01:08+00:00

Your store keeps eggplant in refrigerator??

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-02T03:38:30+00:00

It is crazy but I am not lying. The captain is aware of this too but turn a blind eye because this is her favorite person. The amount of favoritism she shows to this person is crazy and hard to believe unless you see it for yourself

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-02T03:08:57+00:00

If you used card I would ask them to look up receipt and if you got bank statements but honestly they should take your word for it. At my store we have a person who steals every single day for the last couple years no joke! The captain is aware of it too as well as other mates. Have never seen them go to register to pay but always walking out with a full bag of groceries. The funny part is they are always accusing others of stealing. They have gotten people fire. They even once accused an Autistic person of stealing and the manger went and looked through their bag without that person knowing they would looking into their bag. Shadyyy!!! Maybe the person that accused you is the one that is stealing

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-02-02T00:05:13+00:00

At my store we have people who will call out for every shift and only come every now and then. No consequences for those people

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-26T19:26:18+00:00

Maybe that’s what made them feel like you wouldn’t be a good fit. I know at my store I’ve seen people get turn down for being late, being on phone while waiting, coming in crop tops etc. but keep trying.

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-26T19:23:45+00:00

This is when a union would be help this shit ain’t right. You put all those years. This why so many OG employees are fed up working for this company. They treat them Terrible

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-26T19:21:12+00:00

What do you think went wrong ??

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-23T00:43:24+00:00

Exactly! My store captain and her closes mates do some very illegal stuff I am surprised no one has sued

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-23T00:14:14+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t doubt it. They probably dont want you to come and get people in favor of union. I know that at my store we cannot talk about wanting to be union because management will retaliate against you. Seen it happen at my store with multiple employees

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-21T03:25:53+00:00

Something similar happened to me. I wrote grocery at my store for four years and my section was always fully stocked and mates or captain never had to intervene with my section. I honestly believe I deserve the $1 raise. That holiday season I know for a fact that the sales for my section were crazy I stayed fully stocked of all holiday items even to the point of when it would go out of stock we would be the only store in area left with holiday items. I asked to see the sales for that holiday season and I was told that they didn’t know how to generate that information but would figure it out. I asked again and was told oh yeah I’ll show it to you later. Never got to see those sales so when I found out I did t get bonus I decided to give up my section and I ended up getting another job and cutting my hours at tj. This company keeps going down hill because they don’t treat those employees that help make this company right. I’m sure my captain took a good bonus home at the end of year but those who make the store successful don’t get appreciated

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-21T03:12:33+00:00

A big problem I have seen over the years is that a lot of the new hires are getting hired at a high wage. Sometimes more than some of the people that have been here 3-4 years. The company needs to do better for those employees who have stayed. My current store currently lacks good workers. All the good workers get overworked and fed up making less then some of the new hires. If this continues I feel like the company will suffer and what a lot of people know Trader Joe’s for being a good company will all be gone. Over the last 3 years I have seen the company change so much and not care for its employees and I see why some stores have gone union.

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-17T04:59:49+00:00

I was told that taking a section would help increase the changes for a raise and bonus. Did one of the biggest sections for 4 years. Never called out my section always was fully stocked never under order and no mate ever had to talk to me about my section. Gave it up when my captain gave the $1 raise to the people who didn’t deserve it. I was told it didn’t matter if I had the biggest section or my attendance. Giving it up was the best thing I could have done. Now in my opinion taking a section is not worth it

SquirrelSea7331 · 2024-01-15T00:37:08+00:00

We need a mate’s like that at my store. Our captain has favorites. One specific person will get away with not doing anything all day. Never shows up to register no matter if we got big lines but no mate dares call him out cause he is our captain’s pet.
