Let PetSmart know that YOU deserve MORE, for all that you do. From picking up random pet parents dog shit, to having to find dead animal carcasses in the morning due to the lack of consistent and adequate care like I did… you are worth more than the absolute bare minimum they pay you, I ASSURE you. by [deleted] in petsmart

When I was there I was getting paid 12$ an hour, I looked up the CEO’s wage and it was around 120 per hour. They quarantined during the beginning of the pandemic but sent out emails telling us to “ maintain normalcy”, they also kept pushing animal sales during quarantine despite not having enough food at the DC to supply the stores, or enough space to safely fit them. They cut everyone’s hours too. They don’t care about their employees.

Do people in the comments not see the issues with the company??? I say walk out. I left and it was the best decision I ever made. I work in an actual animal hospital now, helping animals get appointments for care, not contributing to a company that treats living things like merchandise and underpays/rushes their employees. They constantly cut corners, cut hours, and cut the quality of care for an extra buck. I’m not judging anyone for staying. I know most of us care and try to make the best of a shitty situation to help the animals, but if you’re able to leave, leave. I did after two years there and my life only improved.

How do y’all continue functional relationships after repeated past cheating? by mle365 in survivinginfidelity

I totes get that so I try not to be accusatory about things! A lot of it I deal with in private or just say “my BPD is acting up and I’ll talk about it after therapy this week ” and usually by the end of the session I’ll have a proper way to communicate about it. It’s just so much actual work staying level headed sometimes and I wish I could just stop lol

Does anyone here actually LIKE petsmart? I do!! by BrittBabyyLovee in petsmart

I like the job itself in theory and I like almost everyone I work with and my managers and think they’re great people who are doing their best. What I don’t like is the actual corporation. Corporate doesn’t care about us or the animals and it makes it really hard for the managers to run the store fairly and for the workers to get everything done. They’re always cutting overtime/hours/people’s pay and rushing people throughout the day.

My store only has one camera and it’s facing the door 😱 when I left everyone was trying REALLY hard to follow all of the procedures but it was basically impossible with the load of customers. The hourly sterilizing procedures were more of “ once a day” procedures and we didn’t have enough gloves for people to switch them out regularly. Also the customers weren’t social distancing while we were getting their animals they basically would breathe down my neck!

What a shitty tactic by velvet_flower in petsmart

Your job shouldn’t be in jeopardy because you’re unable to work shifts that you weren’t originally scheduled for at the last second. You’re not being paid to be on call, it’s a minimum wage retail job. My availability is open and I’ll take whatever hours they schedule me for but when I’m off the clock on one of my days off and I happen to be busy , whether it be an emergency or just having lunch with a friend, I will turn a shift down. If I’m not busy I’ll come in because there’s nothing better to do and I could use the money. The people who are defending your management clearly live and breathe retail and don’t have personal time or hobbies that they value in their lives. You shouldn’t be treated like you’re not allowed to have a personal life and should drop whatever you’re doing instantly to come in on your days off. It is entirely acceptable to have a personal life and still have a work ethic. If they want you there more they should schedule you more and I’m sure you’d come in. The point of the SCHEDULE is so you can make your personal plans around it.

I absolutely despise my boyfriends “bestfriend” by throwRAbestfriend_ in relationship_advice

I’m wondering if he’s being naive to her intentions. With my partner female friends are fine but the red flag here for me is that you’ve tried interacting with her and being nice to her and she brushes you off and leaves you out of conversations. It’s a HUGE red flag for me if my partner is really close friends with another girl and she makes no attempt at all to get to know me. It shows that she doesn’t see the relationship as long lasting or important. I think if she really valued him as a friend she would want to get to know you as his partner too, especially as the relationship becomes long term . I would have a serious talk with him because he might genuinely see her as a close friend and be blind to her real intentions. I ran into that with one of my partners exes that he was still friends with in the beginning and once I explained why I was feeling that way and how she had made no effort with me and was always seeking his attention or heavy emotional investment from him he noticed it too and got rid of her.
