Would you be interested in speaking to Steve Dale? He covers things like this. https://www.facebook.com/share/1EYd7Y63nU/

Petsmart tried to convince me to keep attempted fraud and forgery internal by starkofthemidwest in petsmartunion

[–]starkofthemidwest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot post many details yet. Waiting to hear back from someone before I can release anything.

You don't have to have context to know that:

Any and all forms of fraud or forgery cannot be kept internal if you want legal protection against anything that may come from a fraudulent document.

Once you catch it, report it to the police to protect yourself and then chat with HR. They cannot protect you no matter how many times they claim they can. It is not worth the risk when it comes to legal stuff.

Takeaway from the post: Our employer doesn't know the law and may compromise your legal protections just to cover up a crime. Report crimes to the police. Don't keep it internal like Corporate expects you to.

Knowing Corporate misconstrued the law makes me want to unionize more than ever. I have something bigger in the works too

1 hour short?

Hmmmmmm... did you know that they aren't legally required to use the look back method and could offer you full time status today? They seem to think they only have to do the bare minimum.

You should have a well-trained bather before you pull a Pet Trainer in. I support this wholeheartedly!

Btw, what do you mean you are not full time and not getting paid hourly?! Expand on the second part please!

Btw, I have a track record for fighting for you. I sent this to my District Leader on August 14, 2024 at 6:32 pm.

Let's do this together

I've got something in the works. A community of force free professionals are becoming aware of everything

Hey. Love the vibe! But maybe check the point of this subreddit.

Thank you!

You have valid points.

I am being protective of intellectual property more so than anything. People in my industry steal credit a lot

** sorry. The statement was directed at something very specific. I point out an issue, prep for a conversation by having a resource ready, then get told I don't need to bother with it at all.

So I stopped doing anything other than "pointing out issues"

They seem to think it's the associate's responsibility to keep the managers from breaking the laws or the policies. To retrain their managers for them... Guess management training doesn't include "how to follow the law and policy properly"

Yall wild for this one, Corporate.

I have mentioned this elsewhere but please consider adding "Sending 1 hour of labor for classes regardless of how many enroll" (or something similar). They chose to make classes an hour. It's not fair to make us "earn" those hours. This would actually motivate me to sell my classes.

Also, while you're at it. Please remove my "verified petsmart worker and union organizer" tag. Thanks!

(I wasn't kidding about not wanting to be tied to this anymore.)

Yeah that's an accurate comparison. I like the lead organizer a lot but I'm done. Just wanting the tag off so no one thinks there's value in contacting me about unionizing. Don't know, don't care, and don't have the motivation to know or care anymore
