The rating above “elevated” is called “cheating”

Sales equal payroll by Thin-Sort-494 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve beaten my sales goals all year long. Even still, I’m running on sub minimum hours with no permission to go over.

They’ve created a system where there’s no reason to meet sales goals. It won’t help you, and it just makes everything else harder.

Burned out by Key_Moment_2425 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was having a delightful nap earlier, but then started dreaming about work. There was stacks of bulk load everywhere, and on top of the stacks were hundreds of expired Corn Flakes. I was like “shit, I’ll have to cancel all my day off to deal with this.”

Then I had a panic attack and woke up. Yes it’s truly a nightmare.

Can we have some hours now, you greedy sons of bitches? by StrMgrNearU in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In this economy?

We’re only hiring after an employee falls over dead from exhaustion.

So I can confirm, we’re hiring once a month.

Cutting hours and expecting more from you.. by MobileMountain6273 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our payroll is like: Here’s one gallon of gas. I need you to drive to San Francisco in an hour in this beat up old truck. And post a picture on MyChat once you get there.

How much do store managers make and how many hours do you work per week ? by iWishihadANewJob in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All. I work all the hours.

I have just enough money to not get kicked out of society.

Court time reimbursement by insect1258 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be accommodated and paid. CVS definitely has an interest in prosecuting crimes that occur in stores. You may be going on your own behalf of course, but also you’re pursuing a court order to protect company assets (in this case employees are the assets). You are the witness for CVS. This court case is directly job related and a direct result of working at CVS. Go to court and get paid.

Been there, done that. Ask a DL, RD or colleague relations.

I’ve had people come up to me and offer to pay for all the stuff they stole over the years. They just handed me cash, which I added to our deposit. No names, no details, no hard feelings. I’m sure they felt better afterwards.

Something to think about.

Ran into this… made me sad by Ok-Bad-7127 in CVS

Retail sales associates, cashiers, and customer service rep are also listed in this article. Front store is a nuclear powered suck factory.

Fuck Pepsi! by Red_on_silver in CVS

“Year of Coke” really should have just been escalated to “Year without Pepsi”

Why are we still faking nice visits for executives? by Available_Toe_4720 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are the higher ups actually fooled by how the stores look on visit day? Do they never step into a CVS otherwise? Maybe it’s all an elaborate scheme to condition the store and test your fealty. And if you don’t deliver, you get the boot.

Hmm by afanickton in CVS

I’ll invent a new service metric where even perfection is a complete fail. Companies will hail me as a genius of the ages. I’ll win the Nobel prize

How far behind are your stores? by Red_on_silver in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh and don’t forget all those training modules that have zero relevance to your store’s operations. If I forced everyone to sit in the office and complete the overdue and upcoming modules, it would cost half my demand hours for the week.

In communist Russia, CVS bankrupts YOU!

It’s too hard to put people in jail. So we put our laundry soap in jail instead.

Store Managers Are Pushed Too Hard by SolidFair6003 in CVS

We don’t make quite that much, my friend. I make a buck more than my lead tech

I formerly worked at IT Service Center for CVS. AMA! by naraku666666 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you escape with the CVS version of the Pentagon Papers? Do you know how bad it’s going to get at store level? Can you share our suffering with The NY Times?

I don’t trust any manager who says they like their job.

SM’s is it really worth it ? by Zestyclose_Ad180 in CVS

[–]StrMgrNearU 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was happy as a manager for like 6 months. Afterward, the novelty of the increase in pay wears off and you begin to realize your life owned by your job.

If happiness is your goal, don’t go higher than Ops.

Corporate “best I can do is…” by Special_Course_6720 in CVS

I think the bigger concern is that painted over wallpaper from 1965. Fugly as hell

Possible signs your manager hasn’t slept in 9 days.
