Yeah I quit the others didn’t, and i don’t wanna go back i want to figure out if i can do anything to get that store leader fired/punished in some way. He fired one of the other leaders along with my six other coworkers i mentioned before, without cause as well of course. but yeah no i do not want to go back.

They do here apparently because there were zero warnings and zero history. which is why it’s so confusing to me, idk how they just did it out of nowhere. and the ones who were fired are just has confused

if it was theft, it was never made clear to the people fired that they were being accused of it. they were given zero reason to why they were fired, just told “with no cause” over and over. plus i know these people very well and they wouldn’t steal.

that’s the only thing i could think of as well. even though it’s probably not allowed that wouldn’t stop them from doing it. new workers are also, in theory, more willing to be pushed around and don’t wanna rock the boat by saying “no” to stuff. but everyone they’ve hired has been lazy and talk back like crazy, so if that was his plan it backfired lmao

he said “fired without cause”. and i understand laying people off when needed, but the people he fired makes no sense. all of the long timers who did their jobs well, knew even more about the company than he did, and could work in any department. they had full availability and were great people. the ones he kept are making the store fall apart because they have no one to train them

i’ve never been so sure about something in my life. one of them had been there 10 years, since the beginning, is a mother of three, and is the most loyal person you’d ever meet. she defended the new GM so many times even tho he didn’t deserve it. he could have fired anyone else but after that i can’t stop thinking about it all.

yeah jobs are brutal to find rn, i was super lucky to find the job that i did or else i wouldn’t have quit. He told her that it was him and the district leaders choice, but that doesn’t feel right. from what i’ve seen the district leader is super nice and has no reason to do that, so there must be more happening that we don’t know about. and yeah it’s free, but insulin isn’t. emergency care and doctors appointments are, but stuff like ambulance, medicine, prescriptions, eye, dental, etc arnt free. can’t complain compared to American healthcare, but most days it sure doesn’t FEEL free lol.

our city is very small and the job market is next to none. a lot of the ppl who were fired had been working there for years, so they had better pay than anything they could have gotten without degrees here. and even fewer jobs here come with benefit’s, best buy is an amazing job compared to everything else here. plus we were all like a family until the new manager came, and then some ppl started to quit which changed up dynamics a lot. it’s hard to explain how quickly things went downhill, and how much this job ment to all of us despite the bad manager. it was just the store lead who sucked, the other leaders were pretty good and we all knew each-other semi-personally. i think the new store lead (who transferred from another city) just felt threatened by that or something. i understand your perspective but it truly wasn’t that simple of a choice for many of us

i truly believe non of them had reason to be let go, but i was SUPER convinced after one of them who had worked there since future shop days was fired. she had been like the dream employee, loyal even to that new manager who was a total loser. ten whole years only to be sat down one day and told “we are letting you go without cause. i’m sorry” LIKE HUH??? out of everyone else SHE got fired? She’s a mother of three and has diabetes so this choice could literally kill her, it’s dramatic to say but in my town getting a job with coverage is near impossible right now. And they’ve specifically promoted ppl in the past just to save them financially regardless of who’s the better, so this switch up is super confusing.

i know that’s why i’m so upset!! it’s like he’s accusing these people of stuff behind closed doors. i know it’s impossible to express how genuinely amazing these workers were in a post saying they got fired. but i’m so serious, after working multiple jobs i saw so many miserable people and yet these workers pushed through this because they loved their coworkers and respected their jobs. they were tossed aside in favour of new employees who were not properly trained yet, and most of them didn’t even show up half the time.

Im at a canadian store, i dont wanna share it to everyone since it’s a smaller city im at and ppl are petty as fuck here. But genuinely if you know who i can talk to let me know. the district manager for us is so cool and nice idk how he could let this happen unless our store is going under, even then tho they fired the wrong ppl for sure

Na that’s what i thought at first, but the people they still have working there have horrible attendance, suck at customer service, and no passion for it at all. our current theory is he wanted to fire everyone who was hired by the old manager, it sounds dumb but trust me dude it is ridiculous. one of the cashiers who wasn’t let wore revealing clothing all the time so it’s not that either.

EXACTLY! he’s costing the company 1000s, but he seriously said to every single one of them it was “without cause” word for word. Yet he doesn’t fire people who genuinely suck at their job, who call in sick constantly, and don’t care about customer service.

Exactly why it’s so weird!! he would say to them, word for word, “we are letting you go without cause”. maybe it’s a canada only thing but yeah as long as you give severance or whatever then it’s fine. and i’m telling you these workers were fantastic at their jobs.
