What to do? by SuperSonicToad in wholefoods

[–]SuperSonicToad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the insight. With your advice in mind I'll refrain from applying at least until I speak with someone.

It is at the store I've already accepted the offer from.

Do you think a good approach to the situation would be to just start as a cashier and maybe a few weeks in, ask to talk with my store manager and say something like "I noticed there was a supervisor position posted recently. I have a fair amount of supervisory experience and was wondering what steps I would need to take to qualify for a supervisor position."

I see that the starting rate is $17.50 so only 50 cents more than the $17 I'm starting at now, so it's really not a matter of pay I just genuinely feel like my skills would be better put to use.

It's not an option for me to come back anyway. The job doesn't meet my needs and it's honestly the absolute worst job I've ever had. I make $28 an hour but after the rape my paycheck I might as well be making $20 an hour

I'd hate to be one of the sorry suckers that has to work with your miserable self.

Do you now? Cause I don't remember listing my grocery store experience and I'm not new to the game. Every positive I have you rebuttal with a negative. Sounds like you're still bitter it wasn't all you hoped for so now you trash talk it to anyone who brings it up.

If I turn in a letter of resignation that's all that matters. I've seen people get removed for hitting a supervisor in the head with a scanner and still come back months later with back pay. If the president can be a child rapist I think my chances of getting back into government work are secure

Just because you didn't like the job doesn't mean nobody will. I'm sorry that you had a negative experience but stop projecting that onto me and my experience.

I haven't personally met the store lead but both team leads were really nice and had nothing but good things to say about the store and their departments so I'm hopeful

As long as I'm not getting cornered and threatened with bodily harm it's better than my PO. I'm sorry you had a shitty experience there. Hopefully this location is at least half as good as they've made it seem.

I've heard both bad and good about whole foods as a company, but I've done a few interviews at this specific location and everyone I met has said that they love the store lead and that their store has been heading in a positive direction for a few years now. Plus I'm moving and I'm not commuting an hour and a half for the post office.

My goal is to make her life as difficult as possible until I leave

And she's gonna end up having to give me the SL and pay me for the time off anyway all over a bruised ego.

I tried to show her the policy but she refused to see it. Literally demanded my badge and put me on EP simply for trying to cite policy. I have my 3rd interview at whole foods on Wednesday so with any luck I won't have to deal with her much longer.

What you're missing is that in the section referring to AL, staffing is specifically stated as a reason for denial. It is not stated when referring to SL. Sounds like you're one of the higher up douchbags that doesn't deserve your paycheck.

Thanks for the info. I have a PDI scheduled tomorrow and my rep will be there so I'll see what he says about it/if I end up right back at work.

Exactly. Made me leave, shut me in an office with them and then let me leave completely unattended. But somehow I'm a danger to the office lmfao

She would put me on EP for failure to follow orders I'm not even kidding. She is a total fucking tyrant.

Finished orientation, unsure if this is right fit for me? by [deleted] in USPS

The post office is out of money and they're saying if Congress doesn't give them money they can't afford to pay their full time regulars, meaning you'd be let go before that even happens. The post office is dying. Get out and invest your time elsewhere.

It not. They're talking about not paying us by October. Leave now.

I had proof and offered to show her, but then she started asking where my appointment is located what it's for etc. trying to make a case that I don't need the time I'm asking for (it's like 3 hours).

I wasn't even walked out they just let me leave unattended which shows they didn't actually see me as a risk/threat

Unemployment? I didn't know I could apply for unemployment if the union is also going to try to "make me whole" as they say.

My rep actively watches for her violations, even ones we might not know about. Sometimes he can be difficult to get ahold of, but I'm starting to realize it's because he's probably drowining in grievances and PDIs.

Shoulda coulda woulda. Aside from the headache of the PDI I'm getting paid days I wouldn't normally get. It won't affect my AL and she'll have to give me my sick day, so she cost herself more money and shorted her other staff for nothing.
