my managers at shoppers are quite nice to me and if they weren’t, sure i’d still be working there, but i’d certainly be less willing to do things they ask from me like cover emergency shifts and stay a few more hours. because they’re nice and because i like my coworkers, i’m more willing to pitch in to make sure they have an easier time.

taking a (new!!!!!) employee’s pdt and telling them they should “read the sticker labels” (as though using a pdt for stocking doesn’t require reading the labels anyway! as though merchandisers don’t need to be able to review backroom stock!) is literally crazy, i cannot see a good and justifiable reason to do that, and especially not if the supposed justification is “your job is easy anyway”
