I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job.
There is suspected internal theft going on. My co-manager brought it to my attention so I would keep an eye out and report anything else I find. This was on Saturday, we were having a team meeting on Sunday. I told her maybe she should bring it up at the meeting and she said she would but she wouldn't be able to attend because her father was in the hospital but I can totally bring it up. So I did.
I got awful looks from my manager. You could tell she was pissed. My co-manager heard that her and one of our leads were angry about me bringing it up and didn't understand why. My manager apparently told another lead that what I brought up is illegal and is never to be said at meetings to associates. WTF? Why? I mentioned no names, I even brought it up in a way that showed I was understanding of the fact that we cannot put things on hold as associates but our manager lets us so there is no need to hide things and sensors are never to be taken off until the item is purchased. I said these things make it look like there is internal theft going on, and if there is then that is pretty lame because it hurts us all as a team in the end. Apparently you can't say that. Apparently you can't be concerned.
I read online that it is actually BETTER to bring up these issues because they act as a deterrent and also make people more aware and build honesty and integrity. Not at my store though, it's illegal.
My sister brought up that maybe we should do better bag checks before we leave. So my manager made my sister open up all of her pockets in her bag but merely peeked in everybody else's. The next day, our lead that got pissed at me basically strip searched my sister's bag. My sister said she started taking everything out of every pouch and went way beyond. I talked to my co-manager about bag checks and she said they are only allowed to ask to see the bottom of the bag and they are not to ask to open any other pouches or bags within. The girl that searched my sisters bag was also the one who grabbed my sister by the arm and pulled her hard over to the register to clock out because that girl "needed to get out of the store."
I am sick of caring. Every time I go in the backroom, something is done wrong no matter who I tell. I have told my manager countless times as well as the merch flow manager and I am just told that I can train everybody on the backroom. Yeah, give me a few bucks more an hour and I'd be glad to! Training on backroom standards is not something I get paid to do. That is what the merch flow manager is there for and if she doesn't do it, well then the back room can go to hell.
I get paid 7.57 per hour. I've been there a year and 7 months. No way in hell am I going to work harder than I already am. I'm sick of this job and would leave if I didn't have a baby that needed to eat (and eat very expensive food, might I add).
I'm just so mad and I know I'm going to get hell tomorrow when I go to work.
