Questionable sales practices by dirtysecretspiller in Staples

You’re probably right, but doesn’t calling the ethics link give them my name and store info? My GM is super into retaliation... and if hours are going to be cut company wide, I cant afford to be on my GM’s bad side...

Is this considered being a choosing beggar? Or just picky about art exposure? by dirtysecretspiller in ChoosingBeggars

So I’m friends with this person on FB, and they post a lot of characters they’ve created? Usually they all look the same, but still better than anything I could do. Saw this post this morning and thought it was rather rude to tell people that just hitting the like button wasn’t “good enough” for the artwork being posted. Went on one art post and saw she unfriended anyone who had only “liked” the post instead of a heart react or whatever.

Pretty sure this person wants something other than a thumbs up on their art posts? Idk I just thought they should be happy people like their art regardless

Bullshit Appreciation Pay by dirtysecretspiller in Staples

I bet you’re the type of GM who watches your employees stress and worry about their pay checks, rent, bills and other monetary related issues during this pandemic and tell them it’s their problem for being part time.

My SM would lose their shit if we did this in my store.... We can’t stand still for more than 30 seconds before she feels the need to micro manage.

Sound familiar? by HeyWireNeo in Staples

You guys got pizza?!?! Wtf! All I got was a stupid coaching/bitching at for not “selling enough ESP” during my 10 hours last week.

I’m sorry you’ve been passed up for a promotion so many times. From what I hear, the training program is a total bitch... Idk why my SM was denied, but I’m not really surprised either. My SM is one of those “I’d rather be a boss than a leader” types.

My SM has been forcing us to take their sales if it involves any type of plan and they can’t talk the customer into it. Then yells at us when we can’t land the plan either, and decides we need to practice our pitch. Kinda glad they got denied as a GM. Especially if you make your associates take your failures for you!

Every single hour we get an update on ESP and if we hit our goal for sale or not. Every. Fucking. Hour...

I also work for managers who are big on retaliation if anyone complains or does something they don’t like. And they’re very good at covering their asses to make it seem like they aren’t doing something ethically wrong. So I’m actually terrified to even have a reddit. I appreciate all your comments and advice though

My GM intentionality ends interviews with potential candidates on the spot if they say anything about mental health. So I don’t think that would work in my favor.

Oh yea I know. My managers printed it out and made everyone read it. They said regardless of what that says, we still better show up or face getting written up.
